Some are recruits from sports such as football and gymnastics. Others go to tryouts and earn their spots. But there are people that grind on the independent circuit, wrestling on weekends for little pay, for years just to get a taste of television wrestling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Triple H era, all three types of people have succeeded in many different ways. However, the industry veterans have risen to the top, winning championships and introducing themselves to an audience that may not know who they are. By doing so, they are getting high-profile treatment while showcasing their skills on the mic and in the ring.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Veterans Have Gotten a Great Welcome to WWE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever someone new debuts in WWE, there is a high chance that most of the audience doesn\u2019t know what they\u2019ve done on the indies or in other companies. That\u2019s why bookers should book them strong and powerful, so they don\u2019t lose their hype from the people who know who they are. Triple H has done that to perfection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley &#8211; collectively known as The Motor City Machine Guns &#8211; <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LrgCKBglCR8\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">won the WWE Tag Team Championships<\/a> in their third match against Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. Tonga and Loa have established themselves as main event players in Solo Sikoa\u2019s Bloodline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jacob Fatu and Jade Cargill have gotten over with the crowd and have multiple achievements since debuting earlier this year. It\u2019s clear that Triple H values the veterans and wants them to have a great experience in WWE.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>This Success Isn&#8217;t Limited to the Main Roster<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the main roster, there have been tons of newcomers in NXT this year. Ethan Page, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, and many others have made NXT their home, bringing years of experience. Shawn Michaels has done a great job of making them feel like a big deal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Page\u2019s NXT championship run along with Giulia and Vaquer\u2019s recent showings back up the hype that people have been saying about them. They\u2019ve tangled with some of NXT\u2019s best, like Trick Williams, Roxanne Perez, and Cora Jade. These veterans have held their own, showcasing their talents to a new audience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their vignettes, <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/UfzaOGOmPgo\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">like the ones made for Zaria<\/a>, have also helped them get over with the crowd. This formula seems to be working, as the veterans have certainly made an impact during their NXT runs so far.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The Veterans Should Be Treated as a Big Deal in WWE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever someone with years of professional wrestling experience steps foot in WWE, they should be treated with respect. They shouldn&#8217;t be jobbing or undergoing a gimmick change. Whatever worked previously should be kept for an audience that might not be familiar with their work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That statement has held true for the many veterans that have debuted for WWE in the past year. The Motor City Machine Guns, Ethan Page, Zaria, and others brought their personality and talent to the company.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By doing so, they have achieved multiple successes and have gained new fans. By keeping what made them successful, they have shown that their long journeys to get there have been worth it, something that should make everyone happy.<\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling as they develop.
