I guess it wasn't "sustainable" not really prepping guys to work for Vince, at all. But still, it was a huge thing, and aside from some booking differences AEW isn't all that much different. All of these companies that are blooming in the last 5 years are pretty much extensions of ROH. Evolve and PWG were evolutions of ROH in ways, the talent went between all of those companies. And then that talent was hired for NXT, and then for AEW.

I can't really watch NXT right now they really need to tour.
I still believe the initial plan was for HHH to be obstensably running shit while Vince was busy with the XFL. All of "Hunter's kids" would have been called up and put in prominent spots, so when Vince came back to take a look, they wouldve been things he wasn't particularly high on (mainly shorter in height), but there would have been a roster of varied talent led by talent that had been fostered and pushed in NXT. He can't bitch about it if it's already in place and working, with popularity and merch sales. Better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Instead, Vince folded the tents of XFL well beforehand (in something wildly unforseen), then immediately went "what the fuck?!" about things like size, and proceded to put stupid touches on callups like name changes or tennis skirts or Demolition masks... and instead of taking the good shit from NXT and introducing it to the main roster, they're going the other shit by infecting NXT with the more garbage aspects of the main roster.
