Problem with the NXT guys is that the Full Sail audience is a terrible focus group to see what will work - they're almost exactly the same as the old Impact Zone, a completely false environment with non-paying customers marking out over whatever zany thing they can giggle about. People marking out for Emma's dance or Rose entrance are no better than the Impact Zone fans who used to chant for Lance Hoyt constantly.
Rose in NXT had no depth or personality either. He was always a one note joke, and they need to get this idea out of their heads that just because something clicks there, it can click in WWE, because there have been far more failures than successes so far. Until this heel run started, Paige was another failure - they thought she could appeal to the masses because she got some good reactions in NXT. Throw her into the WWE context and she was drowning.
