Most wrestling companies focus their product, even that which is televised, upon a live arena show. This means that the wrestlers are trained to be in the best possible position to make the fans watching live and in-person catch all of the action.

WWE, however, is more focused upon their television product. This means that wrestlers must be trained to perform their moves in the area of the ring where the cameras can catch the action. This means that even veteran wrestlers like Shinsuke Nakamura must be taught how to be in the right place at the right time for the sake of the camera crew.

This means you still might see NXT as the point of entry for WWE stars destined for the 'main roster.'
