Yikes, lmao. All that bread from these TV deals and Saudi blood money and you can't break a little extra off? That's a bad look no matter how you slice it. Sure they can Fury,Cain,Hogan and Flair are loaded right now.

You’re an actual billion dollar company with tonnes of money to spend potentially on improving developmental. If this is remotely true, how do you let something like that happen? Like, could you picture a team like Liverpool FC or the Golden Sun Warriors or the New England Patriots going “Sorry, man, we signed too many people, you have to change with the opposition because we don’t have a spare locker for you”? No, because they prepare for that shit. Probably because they didn`t expect this when they built the PC,it was before AEW,they likely had a plan "Okay we gonna have X people in there,which Y will be on NXT and then they will move to TV,etc". Now with AEW,NJPW US they are "f*** the plan,we gonna keep it all".They planned on having the monopoly for ever and never needing to keep talent.

Even then, you’d think that making any kind of signing would involve accommodating them in ways you do for other talent and if you plan on just hoarding dudes, you’d give them a damn locker at the very least.

They totally can, but they're not giving up a cent more than they have to, and right now that means leveraging the big money deals against contract renewals. Everyone who's incidentally come up to TV thanks to the NXT move doesn't have any better bargaining position because of it, and WWE seems to have realized that much, so they're going to hold out the paydays for everyone killing it until they're in danger of losing them, because capitalism is a hell.

Hell, take some money and put a small extra outdoor locker area on the grounds next to the building. It's far from ideal but it'd be something.

That account argueing with Starr is some crazy biased 'WWE is amazing and can do no wrong while AEW and everything else sucks' account. What an idiot.
Sucks if NXT guys wages have not improved especially because I bet the main roster guys like Finn are still getting paid TV wages.

Who would’ve thought that signing a shit ton of people with no intention of doing anything with them, just so OTHER companies can’t sign them, would blow up in their face?

Yeah this is something that they need to get sorted out asap, today if possible. People need to eat, they need to live. We don't need a TNA situation.
Hunter needs to have that meeting with all of the talent asap. This isn't about storylines anymore, this is about people's livelihood.

I heard Adam Cole makes more money washing Britt Baker's laundry than he does working the Florida loop.

Yikes, WWE needs to address this situation as soon as possible, hold off on signing more wrestlers until some space is cleared (with severance packages for the frustrated people), and have long-term plans for anyone new coming in after the NXT locker and pay issues are fixed.

What's that pal? Start signing people in the womb? Who's Maria Kanellis' unborn child's agent, dammit!?

This bottling up of NXT talent is a big, big problem. The money issues are something new since I thought everyone in NXT has a new deal as a result of the USA contract. So that sucks. But put that aside. Here's a major dilemma: Now that NXT is on USA, WWE is locking in that talent on that show and there are seemingly few people moving up to Raw/SD (Street Profits had already been appearing on Raw). That means NXT's roster is going to get ultra stale, since NXT is a show based on a turnover of talent. If anything WWE is sending main roster guys like Balor back to NXT, which is kinda not how this is supposed to work. So not only is NXT going to be stale with the same guys there for years on end, but WWE is also not getting any new blood on the main roster, which also makes those shows stale as well. It's like sacrificing the quality of the main shows to build up a roster for a 3rd tier brand, but then not even paying the people on that brand all that well.
