LOL, OK, Show me ONE example of a signee who never stepped into a WWE ring previously over the past 5 years that did not go straight to developmental and stay there 6 months to "get known". Please enlighten all of us.... I'm sorry, but why do you think????? Umm, I guess a guy like Steen Bryan Danileson just needed to get better, it had nothing to do with their familiarity to the WWE audience? I'm sorry, but more than 50% of the WWE audience at house shows, and that is what we are talking about here, are 12 & under and their parents. So NOPE, those fans do not watch ROH, New Japan, etc.... Sooooooo, nope! They do not know who AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Nakamura are..... So regardless of how well you know them, what has the WWE done????

Last 5 years, probably just Sting. But that doesn't mean its how it has to happen. Its just how WWE prefers it to happen. And I think its mainly because WWE wants to have their trainers work with the indy guys to make their style more WWE friendly, and slow the work rate down.
