And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Are Ronda and Roman the only ones there who actually went entirely through the WWE system if you ignore Ronda's MMA experience?

Bianca too

tbh I am confident in saying that Bianca Bel Air is the only homegrown star that NXT has ever made

I'd say Corbin too, but he sucks and was never a world champion, so,

If we're going entirely people who worked for WWE and nobody else in the NXT Era, you're looking at usually second generation wrestlers or athletes who transitioned right into wrestling.

Even including pre-NXT developmental territories as "homegrown", here is everyone currently on the main rosters who to my knowledge did not wrestle outside of the WWE ecosystem:

Women: Alexa Bliss, B-Fab, Bianca Belair, Carmella, Dana Brooke, Katana Chance, Liv Morgan, Sonya Deville, Xia Li

Men: Angelo Dawkins, Big E(?), Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, Montez Ford, Odyssey Jones, Omos, Rick Boogs, Riddick Moss, Roman Reigns, Titus O'Neill, Top Dolla, VEER

Edge cases:

- Bray Wyatt: Got some training (but to my knowledge no public matches) before NXT, nepobaby, currently under Schroedinger's Contract
- Charlotte Flair: Got some training (but to my knowledge no public matches) before showing up in NXT, nepobaby
- Dominik Mysterio: Trained with his dad and Jay Lethal and at Lance Storm's school (but to my knowledge no public matches) long before showing up in WWE, nepobaby, did not actually go through NXT
- Ronda Rousey: MMA experience prior to wrestling, did not actually go through NXT, stolen nepobaby valor re: Roddy Piper
- Von Wagner: Nepobaby, may not actually be on main roster
- Xyon Quinn: Rugby career, may not actually be on main roster

Out of the entire list, the vast majority of them are some combination of nepobaby, successful professional athlete, IS BIG, or sometimes all three

Nah, what I meant that he was right about Emi not being on TV enough but the other part of the tweet wasn't needed at all. Not really offensive considering what we post in this thread.

The match itself is good but I quickly realized this is from a May or June 99 Nitro and just kind of laughed. We see matches this good all the time now and they aren't surrounded by the worst TV imaginable. Depending on which of two matches this could be, this also possibly had a horrendous finish!
