Remember we debated who the A+ star in AEW was ? Its Chris Jericho as this shows us as he's making the big media rounds to sell the PPV. Plus how fun was Shaq who wanted to playfully wrestle everyone at some point grabbing his co-hosts comically.

I'd agree, at the moment NXT needs as much ammunition as possible now that they're in the front lines of the Wednesday Night wars.
That said, it's somewhat mitigated by WWE main roster stars like Finn coming down to NXT. So NXT isn't quite as screwed in the past as they were when they did call ups.
I don't agree we won't see call ups anymore. Nxt is more than just a developmental, but it's still a developmental. Its an important for new talent before they debut on the main roster.
But I do think call ups will be handled differently, with the msin roster giving back to some degree.

Woods is up!
If you believe the gossip rags, a lot of NXT guys are unhappy. They aren’t making main roster money and now it looks like movement up to the main roster is even slower—heck ppl have been coming back down. And WWE keeps signing new guys all the time. The NXT roster is bloated they have around 90 people and not enough time for all of them. There have been signees like Chelsea Green who you think would be TV-worthy who have yet to have a TV match while some signed to developmental deals for 6-7 years who are still barely used.
Full Gear kicks off soon
WWE is now in a comical WCW position from the 1990's. Bischoff would sign and raid anyone basically. WCW's roster had grew to 240+ workers and it helped sink them at one point. There was only so much TV to place guys on from Saturday Night's Main Event to Nitro , Worldwide and Thunder. A big reason that they tried the NWO spin-off brand at one point (Thunder or Nitro would become the NWO show) was due to how much talent they had under contract and could use the brands.
I have to wonder just exactly how many talents are under WWE contracts ? Are we looking at near WCW numbers. If the NXT brand has 90 people there...how much do RAW and Smackdown have ?

So, anyone got any predictions for Full Gear's results?
