2420755, They have a roster of about 44 main roster men and 15 women

5 hours of TV time to film plus Network exclusive stuff. NXT has 30 official men and 8 women, with one hour per week to film.

Main roster could, presumably, slow play some of their angles (like they've been forced to do with the title due to Brock's arrangement). Give the women time to put on actual matches and not three minute races to distraction rollups. Develop feuds for the championship that don't revolve around non-title loss, fifty-fifty bullshit. Use local talent or lower-tier superstars (like, JTG was on the main roster forever and appeared on what, two Raws after Cryme Tyme broke up?) to establish the bonafides of the mid and upper card. Give us a proper tag division. And for god's sake, don't use a 20 minute promo to do what a 5 minute segment could accomplish. Because you know what we hate a LOT more than "wrestling for wrestling's sake (and memo to Vince, we don't hate that at ALL)?" Talking for talking's sake.

I mean, shit, Hulk Hogan wasn't on every Superstars in the pre-Raw era. But people still wanted to tune in to see if this would be a week for him. Do that with Cena. Do that with Reigns. And hell, cycling guys off could help with some of injury problems.
