WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is reportedly not a big fan of his NXT brand. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported this week that McMahon perceives NXT as a touring product and nothing more. McMahon reportedly feels that most of the NXT roster can't draw money for his company because he doesn't see them as "stars."

A lot of NXT talent would like a spot on the main WWE roster so they can earn more money, but the feeling in the locker room is that NXT is more fun. According to The Wrestling Observer, NXT talent took notice of how Tyler Breeze was treated after he arrived on the main roster. Some of the locker room was reportedly disgruntled after Breaking Ground built up Breeze's move to the main roster, only for him to be treated like a "jobber" on WWE television.

Clearly he doesn't really watch NXT, or read the many, many online reports of how much people love NXT.

Can totally understand why NXT guys are disgruntled at the treatment of Breeze (and to some extend Neville). He's a lot better than they're showing him to be. Even more disappointing when you consider how weak the main event scene is, and with all the injuries they've had to top guys recently they've had the perfect opportunity to elevate people - could easily have pushed Owens up into the main event scene and used Breeze in Owens current role for example.

This doesn't shock me at all. Vince is stuck in his old ways and has never liked that type of wrestling that NXT presents... you know.. good wrestling... I don't know how many times a guy can be wrong about his talent than Vince lately.. He doesn't think anyone can draw, except for Roman Reigns. Its frustrating. WWE right now isn't a business anymore where one star draws. It's the company as a whole now that does the selling for the WWE pretty much. Sure some stars help, but its basically the WWE name that sells tickets.

The last few months of NXT has been pretty meh... it's still better than raw and smackdown though.

At this point I am starting to think that Vince reads the internet alot and now hates everything we like! But seriously, he's just getting old, and old people get stuck in their ways.
