Not at all...

...except years and years of NXT acts getting fucked on the main roster, complete with unnecessary and detrimental character makeovers.

Remind me of the wrestlers you're thinking of, bubba. I seriously can't remember an act getting their attire completely changed upon being called to the main roster.

The Ascension

Bo Dallas

Bobby Roode (remember the week he had just a mustache like a geek)

EC3 (same look, but wasn't allowed to talk or play to his strengths)

I'm sure I could go on and on.

I dunno, bubba. Strictly speaking about attire changes, I don't think any of those even qualify or were even that bad (Bo Dallas' singlet was an improvement over his white diaper look, that's for sure). Wasn't the Ascension basically the same?

...nothing changed, tbh.

I mean, I remember they were relatively protected early on. When DBry and Roman had their gauntlet tag during their Fastlane build, The Ascension lost by DQ and dominated them. But I guess even by that point, it was clear they weren't the right choice.

Doing the "geek who disappears when the big boys enter the segment" is not filling me with enthusiasm. 

After a sluggish match mostly dominated by Orton.

Tepid is the word to describe how Keith Lee's debut was handled.

Obviously, Vince doesn't feel that strongly about him.

I mean, why would you have someone debut against a guy you just set up as the main event in your PPV (that takes place in a week)?

It's a no win situation, either the new guy gets beat or you have a non finish that does them no favors. Plus in this case it literally gets overshadowed in seconds by furthering the angle you just started. 

Piss poor presentation all around, and another example of NXT guys having extra obstacles placed in front of them.
