12 Things We Learned From Justin Gabriel On Talk Is Jericho

4. The Constraints Of The WWE System

The two mention that there's a brewing jealously amongst the main roster for the freedom granted to the trainees down in NXT. They see guys getting 25 minutes for their matches while they're stuck in the same formulaic 90-second repeat performances. PJ went down to NXT voluntarily to work on his craft, saying he had a good relationship with the trainers there (specifically mentioning Norman Smiley and the controversial Bill DeMott) and picked up some new skills when enjoying wrestling again. He and Jericho talk about the staleness and redundancy of being stuck in the same holding pattern without being able to challenge themselves. This leads to the two of them reveling in their experiences just working the live events.
