5 reasons why Vince McMahon doesn't care about NXT

As hard as it may seem for some to believe (and unsurprising to most), Vince McMahon really doesn't care about NXT. In a conference call with Triple H, here's a summary about why there were sudden call ups to the main roster.

It was revealed a while back that Triple H was unaware of the most recent NXT call-ups that included Tommaso Ciampa, Ricochet, Aleister Black and Johnny Gargano and Triple H revealed on a recent media call that this was because Vince McMahon has final say about all main roster call-ups and doesn't look at how it will affect the developmental brand.

What's crystal clear is this - Vince McMahon does not follow or watch NXT. For one, it might be surprising because NXT contains all of WWE's future stars.

He does not focus, nor care about it as much as we might think he would. However, it's hard to really blame him, because nobody on the planet works harder than he does. Here are a few reasons why Vince McMahon doesn't care about NXT.

#5 Doesn't want it to influence his decisions

Vince McMahon is a man of many ideas, and if you're a creative team member in WWE, you know that getting ideas past him is no easy task. He micromanages essentially everything, and NXT's creative team is worlds apart from the main roster.

Everything creatively is far too different as compared to the main roster, and it's likely that Vince McMahon is aware of this, but doesn't want to indulge in it too deep and get ideas from there. After all, he is old and set in his ways from a certain point of view, and while we don't mean that in a derogatory manner at all, it's just the way it is sometimes, and it should be accepted.

#4 The product is far too different from the main roster

If you follow NXT or have been doing so for a while, you know that every single aspect of it, minus the camera work, is very different from the main roster. The presentation of superstars, the reactions, the creative process, the booking, and everything is miles apart from the main roster.

In many ways, fans have connected with NXT because it's simpler and so much more different than the main roster product, which can admittedly get tiring very fast; especially Monday Night RAW.

It's booked very differently from Vince McMahon's vision, and while NXT is meant to train superstars with regards to things like working the cameras, entrance timings, promos, in-ring ability, etc. that's only the core aspect of it.

The way the show is presented, it's not something that McMahon would go for, and he may very well know this, which is why he doesn't pay heed to NXT.

#3 He never put in as much focus to developmental territories anyway

Before NXT became the individual revolutionary brand that it is today, it was a game show, and prior to the change, It was Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) that was the WWE developmental territory.

Even the pre-Ruthless Aggression era days that saw future megastars like John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, Batista, etc. in developmental all took place in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).

OVW was a very different environment from the WWE Performance Center and NXT, and while the Performance Center is obviously far more world-class when it comes to facilities and overall training, there's an argument that the intimate, small environment of OVW allowed wrestlers to thrive and become major stars that they would become.

In a sense, it's true, because the Performance Center is yet to produce one major homegrown megastar. Either way, the point of all this is that Vince McMahon was never involved in the developmental territories anyway, which is why there was no reason for him to start.

#2 Faith in Triple H

Shane McMahon may have been the successor to the throne, but his departure in 2009 meant that the door was open to Triple H. In this timeframe, he began to take a much bigger role, and he became the main man responsible for revamping NXT and handling the developmental system.

Even the Performance Center was opened under his watch, and he's the main man when it comes to NXT. The fact of the matter is that he's done more than just a good job, and one of the major upper hands he has over McMahon is that he has a big past as a wrestler, which makes him a little more empathetic of the talents' perspective.

Simply put, Vince McMahon doesn't have to care about NXT at all, because it's not his job and it's Triple H's. He knows that Triple H is responsible for the critically acclaimed product, and he's being groomed for the throne eventually.

#1 He's way too busy

At 73 years of age (turning 74), Vince McMahon has continued to prove that he's an absolute freak of nature. Not only is he able to run his multi-billion dollar company on a daily basis and keep the wheel spinning (and profits increasing), but he manages to keep his body in tip-top shape, appears for every RAW and SmackDown taping and is always hands on about everything, even creatively.

The fact of the matter is that there's nobody that works harder than McMahon, and he's always got a jam-packed schedule at all times. He's known to sit up till late hours working and hardly gets a few hours of sleep a day.

With his schedule that way, there's absolutely no chance that he has the time to sit and follow NXT. It's humanly impossible to keep up that way, and if anyone can, props to them!
