Vince despises the indy circuits and when he sees them he doesn't see competition, he sees a talent roster to exploit. Year after year, the WWE pluck the most popular superstars from the indy circuits and sign them to developmental contracts.

They allow them to perfect their wrestling skills in the bingo halls and high school gyms and then completely re-train them in NXT.
