The only people who are geeked for NXT guys are the, maybe, 45,000 people who watch and care about NXT. the WWE is a business, and focusing on wrestling prospects is akin to baseball teams banking on the potential of prospects who, more often than not, fall on their faces and contribute nothing but minor league success. The last few Manias have done great business with this current model, and they have enough young guys to take the torch in the coming years.
Believe it or not, Sheamus, Barrett, Ziggler, Cody, Ambrose, Reigns, Rollins, Bryan, Cesaro, Rusev, Sandow, Harper, Ryback, and Ryder can't all be main event level guys at the same time. The mid card needs to be filled and they will receive less time and exposure there, and the talent in NXT, like it or not, is more likely to follow the path of Bo Dallas than Daniel Bryan. The model works and, of course, the coming years will feature Cena, Orton, Big Show and Jericho as the part time guys. I don't see anything changing but names and the amount of IWC ire.
