BACKSTAGE UPDATE ON MAIN WWE ROSTER BEING FRUSTRATED AFTER NXT TAKEOVER: R EVOLUTION

[Prince Bálor]

As previously reported, the main WWE roster is said to be concerned about being shown-up by the NXT roster after Thursday’s NXT Takeover: R Evolution event. Additionally, there is said to be a lot of frustration among the main WWE roster talents after the show.

There’s said to be a feeling within talents on the main roster that the NXT talents are getting opportunities that they don’t. There’s frustration that NXT talents get better opportunities as far as in-ring work and the creative direction of the product.

The WWE crew feels that they are just as good as the NXT guys, but they don’t get the same chances to prove it.

NXT totally owns the main roster. Sorry about your damn luck. ity:

I was going to make my own thread with this - but I guess I could add it here.

Anybody else heard this rumor of a "silent" protest in favor of HHH taking over the creative reigns in WWE like he has in NXT?

A WWE “silent protest” being orchestrated by unnamed wrestlers seems to favor Triple H taking creative control of the company in the wake of the much-maligned TLC pay-per-view.

This rumor springs from MetsFan4Ever on the Squared Circle subreddit, and since he’s believed by many to be a company insider, a lot of WWE fans are taking it seriously.

The commenter also claimed that John Cena “held a talent meeting in an attempt to rally the troops, so to speak, and explain that a silent protest is not a good idea but rather working hard and being better is the best way to go,” Cageside Seats reports.

Do you guys think it is actually happening? I would support the decision frankly. Not that my opinion ultimately matters in the decision but I feel like it's time for Vince to step aside. The thing about Cena trying to "rally the troops" is laughable.

Mets also said that the main roster is looking for Triple H to take over on the main shows as well due to NXT's success

WWE: Civil War - New PPV idea!

 

[TMBS]

Indeed, going through the invasion and Monday night wars this could make for a great shoot booking. NXT being the next guys, invading the main show, getting over as fuck. then by next SS we have team NXT vs team WWE

I would love it if this happened. Vince doesn't have a clue anymore.

Let HHH run things.

About Cena 'rallying the troops' - LOL.

I fucking love these quotes from the article. So true!

“Sounds like Cena is trying to protect his spot,” said one.

“Kinda hard to step up with s****y booking and s**t writing, brother.”

“Anyone who watched the SCSA-Vince shoot knows they CLEARLY Vince is out of touch with the current fanbase. At this point in his life he should be enjoying his money, spending time with his grandchildren, and actually swimming in his pool, not booking a weekly TV program. NXT is the far superior product with a fraction of the resources. Cena is the epitome of Vince’s out of touchness.”

- Riot, boys, riot! Demand and make a change!

Yup, which is why I'd REALLY like to know if it is happening. No idea how we as the fans would know though. Just rumors.

Yeah, here's to hoping these rumors turn out to be true.

Wake me when the NXT stars are making money hand over fist over the WWE superstars.
Wake me when NXT as a brand is more successful than the WWE superstars.
The main roster should stop p*ssing and moaning over the minor leagues having fun.

It's like working at a job, watching high school kids walk by and realizing how good they've got it. Of course they've got it good, the responsibility is far less.
The road to superstardom is far more exciting than superstardom itself.
It's also the reason being engaged to someone is so awesome only for marriage to be relatively boring in comparison.

NXT allows for more creative freedom (and I guess better writing, but it's easier to write for an audience of 200 people than it is for an audience of thousands/millions), but in terms of match quality, I can name a good number of matches that can easily rival just about anything that NXT has ever put out.

Let's not forget, also, that they are taping/performing in front of the same group of people each night.
It isn't as if they are traveling to different cities and possibly catering to each individual one.
They are taping in front of college students anywhere from ages 16-34.

This was a point i was trying to make awhile back in a thread about the static NXT arena vs the traveling WWE arena. It definitely works in NXT's favor. Imagine if WWE had its own static arenas throughout the country. It would be awesome

The only thing about this that throws me is people cracking up over Cena's "rallying the troops". You serious, Clark?

John Cena, whatever anybody anywhere wants to think about him, has gotten to where he's at through a unique combination of skill, hard work, and luck. That's the same formula that creates success in just about any endeavor. I have never heard that he's the locker room leader that Undertaker used to be or that Sting was in WCW, but that doesn't mean that the "boys in the back" don't respect what he's accomplished or that they don't covet that top spot.

If they respect him, that's great. If the want his spot, it's there for the taking. The last guy who actually stepped up to fill Cena's spot was Daniel Bryan. All it got him was a Wrestlemania moment of closing the show with the WWE Championship in his hand. If the "boys" are bitching, they either need to shut the fuck up or actually step the fuck up. Flair and Sting didn't sell out arenas and tear down the house by being all buddy-buddy in the back; they did it by wanting to prove they were the best. Same goes for Austin and Rocky and for Cena and Orton and for Undertaker and Kane.

If they want what Cena's got, don't take it to Twitter (or, Holy Jesus, the dirthsheet assholes). Take it to work.

Having said all of that, McMahon is a genius, but even geniuses start to lose touch. Is it time for someone new to take over the creative direction of the show? All I say is point to the segments that had personal involvement from HHH over the last couple of years (the Bryan-Authority angle pre-injury....after that, they were trying to make chicken salad with chicken shit; the Shield angle; there have been others, but it's late and I'm getting older). Those segments have typically been an order of magnitude better and fresher creatively than the rest of the show. Let HHH "have the book" for a few months. Let him set up some storylines and start developing them. I bet that it will improve the product.
