I don't think it would provide less chances for the indy guys out there looking to break through. The way I see it is, if you have the look, the ability, and enough charisma, WWE will give you, at the very least, a try out match.
I think as a form of building from within, and giving yourself the chance to build new stars, scouting college wrestlers could be a truly untapped market.
Like you said, Swagger and Angle come from such backgrounds and have shown that they can adapt, and to different degrees, succeed. Also, Shelton Benjamin comes from similar beginnings.
