I thought it would be interesting to use the Wayback machine to check out the NXT roster (Circa 2012) (Not counting the game show version) This was the first one I could find with a working page.  I remember thinking Richie was going to be a big deal, Totally forgot about Kenneth Cameron. |

Kenneth Cameron ended up being Bram, The Man Of 1,000 Impact Contracts.

Audrey Marie, aka Softcore Country.
Also, Briley Pierce is such an awful name.

Whatever happened to Seth Rollins' clone? Accidental copy and paste He fell on hard times after being forced to change his name to Hayes Bennington eventually leaving the world of wrestling for a number of years, rumor has it he did work as one of the Chikara ants and now sells houses. |

Richie Steamboat very well could've been a major star if he hadn't gotten injured. Corey Graves at the very least probably would've won the NXT Title and maybe a mid-card belt on the main roster. Looking at everyone else, it's kind of insane how short Big E's run on NXT actually was. He was promoted to the main roster wicked fast. Cameron and Kruger probably also would've had big runs if not for their personal issues getting in the way. I always forget that Ryan Nemeth was on NXT. CJ Parker is someone who I thought was a bigger deal than he actually was, due to a lot of hype I'd seen surrounding him. And Paige was so good, she got TWO spots on the roster!
EDIT: And Seth too lol

Interesting that Rowan had a bio page but not Harper at that point.
Ah, Oliver Grey, AKA "Neville needs a tag partner to get gold before the top title".

You might remember him from such matches as “lost in 1:45 to The Ascension” and “lost in 60 seconds to Baron Corbin”. There were some rumblings of him possibly doing a Tony Robbins-esque motivational speaker gimmick, but it never made TV. |

Also, Kendall Skye, aka that woman who kinda looked like Sara Del Rey in the face in a blurry photo so everybody freaked out and thought that WWE made her dye her hair blonde and get a tan.

Kenneth Cameron had the most boss entrance. If the dude wasn’t such a giant piece of shit he could have been something.

Gotta love that someone when asked to come up with a stage name... decided to use Pamela Anderson's from Baywatch. >_>

I love early Full Sail NXT… It’s very similar to what NXT 2.0 is now, a lot of unproven talents with weird gimmicks mixed in with some veteran hands, but before everyone had kinda twigged that this wasn’t really gonna lead to anything down the line in terms of main roster fortune.

I wonder how The Ascension would've fared with on the main roster with Bram instead of Vikktor.
Bram certainly had more of a prescense and Rick Victor is a terrible name.
