Why WWE Needs To Hire The ENTIRE Kliq For NXT

Up and down the NXT cards at present there are small holes in otherwise exceptional talents. This wouldn't be so bad if the main roster served as a place of continued nurturing rather than a developmental deathtrap, but said holes become fatal bullet wounds once Vince McMahon gets his hand on the pencil and a finger on the trigger.

Johnny Gargano's overacting won't allow for fan patience if he has three bad weeks on Raw. Tommaso Ciampa won't appear to be the cruelest super-villain in the industry if his evil schemes don't even fool Apollo Crews. The Velveteen Dream becomes a celluloid nightmare if The Chairman doesn't get the gimmick.

The Kliq are the fixers. Shawn Michaels has it in him to install the finer points that always made McMahon's face look like the heart-eyes emoji every time he so much as teased getting his a*se out. Sean Waltman meanwhile can make them all too good to be ignored in the way The Revival, Ember Moon and Chad Gable have largely been since they all got the call. Scott Hall can fill their minds with ideas and concepts, loading their sleeves with the tricks they'll need to survive the cut-throat realities of Raw and SmackDown Live. Kevin Nash controlled his emotions in such a way that he was hated and adored in equal measures by management and talent alike. If the dressing room can't have Bob Holly-types anymore, let them all embody a little bit of 'Big Daddy Cool' instead.

Yes, this may be just another case of jobs-for-the-boys in an industry notorious for looking after its own at the expense of others. But Triple H bringing in the rest of The Kliq would quite literally be for the boys (and girls) desperate to survive and thrive on WWE's main roster.

NXT functions well, but the PC-NXT-WWE journey isn't currently a well-functioning one. The Kliq were trying to fix a substantially sh*tter model 25 years ago. Far from being a poison, the group let loose on the near-perfect NXT of today could assist in the industry's latest transformation.
