While some or all of this may or may not be true, it's incredibly short sighted, and still doesn't make any sense if what you were doing in NXT was working well and you truly believe in and are interested in what you're doing.

If Vince was actually interested and believed in the product they were producing anymore, he'd care about the quality of the product as opposed to the sheer amount they can produce and the amount of $ they can make off of it. Sadly that ship sailed years ago, essentially once they'd comfortably been past the point where they'd had no major competition for a few years, probably around 2004-2005-ish. It's only gotten consistently worse since then.

It is especially sad because all WWE ever talks about is how it is important to make new stars, yet their track record says very different over the past 15 years.

Braun is kind of almost their, but they haven't pulled the trigger with putting a title on him yet aside for the tag titles for a day with a kid.

The new stars they have actually created and followed through with are limited to The Shield in what 2012, Sheamus in I think was 2008, and Cena/Batista/ Orton in 2005.

That is literally it. CM Punk and Daniel Bryan got over as stars despite WWE trying hard to prevent it for a long time with both before finally giving in.

WWE goes out of its way to make sure they keep people from becoming stars.
