I think we'll never know how much potential was wasted with those collegiate intakes in the PC

Possible. I'm sure it's demanding... but it's still WWE teaching potential WWE stars doing the "WWE-Style". I think that is always the priority in there.
Not sure what you mean by this, but what I meant was that if you’re a college recruit and your heart really isn’t in becoming a professional wrestling the training regiment before you even really get to the Wrestling Part, it’s fucking brutal from what I understand. Which probably weeds out the weak.

Which is weird though... since they are already college athletes, who all possibly want to be professionals at some point. They should fuckin' know beforehand how hard it's gonna be.

I think they just need to adjust their criteria and sign more charismatic people than just good athletes tho bc there's a lot of charisma black holes at the PC and I don't think some will ever get better

The thing two is the WWE Main roster already has a lot of really great recognizable names from indies and then NXT is the place is mostly got the recruits so it kind a create a Ying and yang within their own system and I’m sure once TKO opens the pursestrings up a little bit. They might win some more bidding battles in 2025.
they prob won't win any battles but I say this because I think in 99% of cases, ppl already decided if they are staying and wwe has decided whether they keeping them or not. I seen this fun conspiracy theory that they are just pretending to let guys like drew hit FA but were always gonna re sign, but they do it this way to give the appearance that they won a free agency war

And I mean it's the WWE PC... so they train those recruits as possible future WWE talent. Even though they obviously get the base stuff in, I'm sure it's overall very different from any other Wrestling school.

Even without a conspiracy, there was no bid if they still signed before the contract ended even if it went to the last day
