So instead of focusing more on the Independent circuit, brimming with guys who have been wrestling for years, been fans even longer and have a true passion for the business, McMahon will cough up resources to train football players who are likely not as passionate or knowledgeable of the business as the actual wrestlers.
Not to mention that 90% of them will be meat heads and powerhouses, which as we all know, are the most entertaining wrestlers out there.
Stupid decision by a stupid company.
Typical troll bullshit. As usual, you're more interested in slamming WWE over anything rather than even remotely attempt to tell things like they are.
As of right now, WWE has signed wrestlers that are very well known on the indy scene in NXT such as Kassius Ohno, AKA Chris Hero, Adrian Neville, AKA Pac, and Sami Zayn, AKA El Generico. These three examples I cited are getting lots of praise for their current work down in NXT. As of right now, if various reports are accurate, it looks as though Sami Callihan is about to be signed as he's completed the various medical screenings WWE puts them all through. Oh and a couple of indy guys going by the names of CM Punk & Daniel Bryan, I don't know if you've ever heard of them, have had a fair amount of success on the main roster. There's also a few more by the names of Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose, better known on the indy circuit as Tyler Black & Jon Moxley, that also seem to be doing decently on the main roster.
Also, as another poster pointed out, WWE has a lot of former football players or hopefuls signed to the roster. People are trying to make it sound as though WWE is planning to pack its roster players whose careers in football are over or men hose careers just never took off. There's no promise that anyone WWE sees or meets will be signed and if they do manage to find someone here and there with the ability & passion, so what if he's an ex football player? Talent is talent whether it's someone whose first love was wrestling or football or boxing or whatever. If they know how to or can be taught to wrestle, develop personas that fans will get behind and draw some money; then where's the downside?
I know that it's not the same strategies TNA employs. You know, like the strategy of signing wrestlers who have already been made into stars by much bigger companies that are, at least when it comes to most of them, far past their primes to be the central figures of the company. Or the strategy of signing wrestlers who are also cast offs of much bigger companies, yet failing to even try making them into stars, either because they don't want to or simply don't know how to make stars of their own.
