Mick Foley has criticized NXT for making talents lose their individuality in the past.
WWE's current product has a number of flaws that have left fans dissatisfied and disappointed throughout the years.
Mick Foley believes one of the biggest problems with the current WWE product is that there is no individuality among the developmental stars. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, the former world champion stated that it's hard for people to remember a performer's name because they're all of the same mold:
“I think one of the things you risk when you have a developmental system, and a way of doing things specific to your business model, is that you lose a little bit of the individuality, so you tend to have a lot of people who can do great moves, have very good matches, whose names you can’t remember after they’ve wrested unless you’re tuning in every week,"- Foley said.
That was part of the problem with me. I was watching sporadically, and I was like, “Wow, look at that guy. Good shape, looks great, handsome guy, wearing trunks, great moves, can’t remember his name. A lot of guys tend to fall into the same pattern of looking and wrestling the same,”- The Hardcore legend added.
Mick Foley posted the following video on Facebook titled: “WWE - WE’VE GOT A PROBLEM.”
Points to issues with creative, the call-up process from NXT and more.
