Zoey Stark doesn’t think that NXT prepares wrestlers for the WWE main roster

While appearing on Busted Open Radio, former WWE star Zoey Stark aka Zoey Serrano was asked by Bully Ray whether NXT adequately prepares wrestlers to succeed on RAW or SmackDown. Here was Zoey’s response…

“I don’t think so [NXT prepares wrestlers for the main roster]. I personally don’t think it is. I would love to say it does, but it’s just a whole different ball game when you’re up there [on the main roster].

You don’t have people telling you exactly what you’re going to do in every single moment of … When I was in NXT and I had a problem, you would sit there in the ring with [Johnny] Russo and Shawn [Michaels] and [Matt] Bloom, and they would say, ‘Okay, say it like this or do it like that,’ and give you different ideas of how to portray it.

Same thing with your match. You’re going through it A to Z. You know, everything that’s going to happen.

“When you go up to the main roster, you don’t have that opportunity. It’s just kind of like sink or swim, kid. Let’s figure it out as you go.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingInc.com)
