No one has a storyline that couldn't be handwaved away in one episode on their way out the door.
An MLB analogy: Raw/SD guys are the Major League starters, the best of the best, the guys carrying the company. Superstars guys are the Major League bench players--quality players who aren't among the elite but have roles to fill when needed. NXT guys are the Triple A guys--capable players who don't show the capacity for ever being better than a bench player/Superstars guy. Nevertheless they still have a role as a spot-filler for a league no one really cares about, just to keep themselves fresh and warmed up in case they're ever needed as an MLB bench player. FCW guys are the Double A guys--the real prospects. The guys the company hopes will someday be in the starting lineup/rotation carrying the team. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/WM28_Photo_255.jpg |

Far from it!
FCW right now is more stacked than it has ever been, and that's not just my IWC smarkdom hyping up ex-indie stars. JR and Regal both agree. When it comes time to call up some of those FCW stars, guess who they take roster spots from? The Derrick Batemans and Darren Youngs of the world. Kidd, McGillicutty, and Hawkins are safest, since they're the best hands on the jobber side of the roster and that's always going to be in demand. The Usos are probably safe because they're the most over people on the show and serve a role for the company to PRETEND it has a tag division. I HOPE Percy Watson is safe because I see the biggest upside on the show in him. Everyone else needs to keep bringing it or else people like Sandow, Ambrose, Rollins, Cesaro, Ohno, Steamboat, Rotundo, Harris, Langston, Woods, and Graves are coming for their jobs. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/WM28_Photo_255.jpg |

NXT Plothole:
Hawkins and Reks can't be the kidnappers of Matt Striker, because Reks vs. Percy Watson was happening while the kidnapping occurred. Unless Hawkins acted alone I suppose and Reks just gets credit as his partner. EDIT: And ROFLMAO at WWE backstage skit reality. The whole segment was premised on the idea that Hawkins and Reks are gonna frame Curtis and Maxine unless Maxine uses her influence over Regal to get what they want. But the whole segment was caught on camera, and Josh and Regal even COMMENTED on the segment being yet another example of NXT craziness right after it happened, despite Regal being the intended mislead rube at the core of the whole thing when it goes down. And yet I still love the show because I feel like this will actually be lampshaded somehow instead of just ignored. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/WM28_Photo_255.jpg |

Yeah, all the ex-writers have said that CrankyVince drops certain nuggets of info that no one who hasn't been there would know, and that his derogatory descriptions of individual interns/writers (i.e. "FAST-TALKING L.A. RUNT") actually match up to an actual intern/writer on staff, who obviously aren't public figures.
