Official NXT Thread for 3/9/2010: It'll get higher ratings than Impact.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

So, it'll be interesting to see If Daniel Bryan gets a match in his home state.

[Jimmy Cones]

Finally, only 5 mins to go. I was wondering when this would be made.

[Innovator]

WE ARE WILD AND YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUNG

[Jimmy Cones]

I was wondering if the chat was being moved, there was a thread on it yesterday.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I know nothing about the chat. I just made the thread because no one else did.

[Droford]

Wade Barrett's gonna go to work on somebody.

[Juan]

Miz/Bryan vs. Truth/Otunga

[Droford]

how much longer til they give the rookies their own entrance themes?

[Jimmy Cones]

they should have to win a difficult match to earn their own song, just to get a song that the pro picks for them

[jerichoholicninja]

Will we get a Survivor style vote with confessionals and everything?

[Droford]

I guess with the time difference, this is actually live?

[Jeritron]

Love this show

[Providence Peep]

So, will our votes actually be counted when we're voting for which rookie should go pro? Or, is that just a ratings ploy?

[Juan]

TRUTH AND OTUNGA ARE ROLLING

[Juan]

So, will our votes actually be counted when we're voting for which rookie should go pro? Or, is that just a ratings ploy?

From what I understand, the Pro's will be doing the voting.

[Jimmy Cones]

I guess with the time difference, this is actually live?

They used the spaceballs technology to put it on tv before they even started filming it.

[AngryMidjit]

how long is this "competition" supposed to last anyway? and what happens when the season is over? do they get a new batch rookies to not push?

[Droford]

DINOSHARK!

[Jeritron]

lol dinoshark

[Droford]

Cole cant get the names right! shock

[Droford]

Sonic the Hedgehog fan is not impressed!

[AngryMidjit]

what a crappy save

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Between some of his clotheslines and the shoulder block from earlier Otunga looks stiff as all fucking hell. Would hate to get hit by that dude, he's thick as shit and looks like he hits hard.

HUGE missile dropkick!

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Um, there are some moves WWE needs to just let be finishes. A heel hook is instant game over, like... 2 seconds into a move it really is snap or tap and they just let it go. :meh:

[Jeritron]

big points for the pool

[Droford]

that was a fun match really

[AngryMidjit]

and do these NXT guys do house shows?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I mean, if WWE is going to start using major MMA moves, they have to treat at least some of them with respect. A heel hook is scary shit to get caught in.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Miz flintched

[HeartBreakMan2k]

lol at Daniel punking Miz :D

[HeartBreakMan2k]

:lol: Miz flintched

Dude Miz didn't flinch, he jumped like 3 feet.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Absolutely fucking hate Heath Slater. Major Xpac heat.

[Innovator]

Can't wait for Dragon is beat the shit out of the Miz, loving this so far

[Droford]

Heath Slater is about to blow his mind!

umm

[Jimmy Cones]

heath might be my least favorite

[Innovator]

Heath Slater is about to blow his mind!

umm
Are we sure Pat Patterson isn't his mentor?

[Loose Cannon]

I actually like Heath Slater.

[Droford]

heath might be my least favorite

The dude from South Africa with the Futuristic ring attire is my least fav, but to be fair that was the first time last week that he got decent tv time so..

[Vastardikai]

I mean, if WWE is going to start using major MMA moves, they have to treat at least some of them with respect. A heel hook is scary shit to get caught in.

Seriously, as long as that hold was locked on, Otunga's ligaments should be ribbons.

[Loose Cannon]

Miz is going to be World Champion some day

[Nark Order]

Miz is going to be World Champion some day

I tend to agree. I've heard rumors that he isn't well liked backstage but I'm not sure how true it is. I really hope he takes the next step in a couple of years and takes home the big one. He's got my support for sure.

[Droford]

YEAH. This is awesome.

[Innovator]

There is so much accent going on in this promo

Carolinan, South African, Canadian, English

[Nark Order]

Wade Barrett and his ridiculously manly voice.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I dunno, Miz is one of those guys who absolutely SHOULD be a world champion world day, but won't... Jake Roberts and all that jazz.

Anyway, Gabriel just needs to stop sucking Matts dick and vise versa. Buddy buddy combinations are good, but MAJOR overkill.

[Poit]

Captain Charisma is here!

[Droford]

Its like International House of Wrestlers

[Nark Order]

Good one, Matt. "He is going to beat you."

[Loose Cannon]

I'm sorry, Wade is just leagues above the other guys right now minus Danielson. He should of been called up ages ago.

[Jimmy Cones]

"my guy is gunna beat your guy. do you understand what I am saying to you right now"

wtf matt?

[Innovator]

I think my chest hair grew an inch just listening to Wade's voice

[KIRA]

Wade Barret should do the voice of God in a religious theme film someday....I just need that to happen

[Loose Cannon]

well not ages ago, but he's ready

[Droford]

1.9 on the BADASS SCALE

[Loose Cannon]

Gabriel looks like he is trying to remember his lines when he speaks.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Seriously, as long as that hold was locked on, Otunga's ligaments should be ribbons.

That's what I'm saying. I mean, I'll give them moves like triangles, and chokes, even those a fighter can fight out of, but a heel hook is locked in and two seconds like your quiting. Even a guy like Big Shows leg would be ripped up if he were in a hold for that long.

[Vastardikai]

Could Matt have sound any MORE robotic?

[Nark Order]

I don't think I'll ever be comfortable reading my future children bedtime stories now after listening to Wade Barrett speak.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

"i mean tell me Matt, is there anything you would have done differently"

"yeah, I would have walked around bow legged and been a huge prick"

By, Matt is a huge dick every time I've ever seen him anywhere. Fuck him.

[chieflikeanindian]

Dude looks like a damn bull fighter

[Jimmy Cones]

They need to make a Wade Barret voice modulator so we can all sound like him. I wonder how many woman he gets.

[loopydate]

I'm sorry, Wade is just leagues above the other guys right now minus Danielson. He should of been called up ages ago.

Agreed.
Otunga's got a great personality, but his in-ring work isn't there yet.
Gabriel's a tremendous flier, but he doesn't have much personality.
Slater's a decent all-rounder, but doesn't have anything that defines him.
Tarver is way too green (although he's got a great look).
Sheffield is a decent big man, but has the most annoying mannerisms I've seen in years.
And Young... well, he looks like black Cena. That's about all I know about him.

Daniel Bryan and Wade Barrett are there. They are ready. They could have been brought straight to the main roster and had their spots given to guys like Johnny Curtis and Joe Hennig.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Slater is going nowhere fast.

[KIRA]

I'm actually for Carlito on this one

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Argh, Matthews is right. Slater SHOULD be a lifelong member of the WWE universe... not roster. Hate that guy :mad:

[chieflikeanindian]

What's the 1.9 for?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I think Bryan and Wade are going to benefit tremendously from being on NXT though. Wade is going to get over huge, and Bryan is essentially getting a built in mid-card feud with the US champion. Chances are, the way it's being built, Bryan will also get a victory over the Miz in the future.

[HBPunk]

Skip Sheffield - nxt wwe champion, hes awesome

[Nark Order]

Huge Carlitobomb

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Agreed.
Otunga's got a great personality, but his in-ring work isn't there yet.
Gabriel's a tremendous flier, but he doesn't have much personality.
Slater's a decent all-rounder, but doesn't have anything that defines him.
Tarver is way too green (although he's got a great look).

Daniel Bryan and Wade Barrett are there. They are ready. They could have been brought straight to the main roster and had their spots given to guys like Johnny Curtis and Joe Hennig.

Yeah, but who do you look for next 'seasons' NXT if you bring those guys up instead.

Tarver has huge potential to me. Seriously. He needs work, obviously but he could be the next Taz tye gimmick. He's got a solid base, could be good for suplexes, but even beyond that, he has a look that just screams "big fight" and he's got his fathers lineage. Even without headlining he could be your serious fight guy like a Taz, like a Vader, like a Brock Lesnar.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

What's the 1.9 for?


He can knock you out in less than 2 seconds.

[Droford]

uh..yeah

[What Would Kevin Do?]

You know, if they're going to play up Tarver and this 1.9 thing, maybe he should punch someone.

3 weeks, and this guy has done nothing.

[Juan]

Nice little match

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I think Bryan and Wade are going to benefit tremendously from being on NXT though. Wade is going to get over huge, and Bryan is essentially getting a built in mid-card feud with the US champion. Chances are, the way it's being built, Bryan will also get a victory over the Miz in the future.

Bryan is building his feud, but he def needs the interaction with Miz. I mean honestly, Miz is the only guy getting over by personality alone in WWE right now aside from Truth.

Wade is there, very much there.

[Droford]

Skip Sheffield - nxt wwe champion, hes awesome
Yep Yep Yep

lol..not really

[HeartBreakMan2k]

WHOOO I fucking love when Young is on cause it means Punk time!

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Bryan is building his feud, but he def needs the interaction with Miz. I mean honestly, Miz is the only guy getting over by personality alone in WWE right now aside from Truth.

Wade is there, very much there.

Definitely, Miz has insane personality. However, he's actually not bad in the ring either.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

And is he black or white? Seriously...

[Nark Order]

Evil Cena gets air time.

[Loose Cannon]

ROFL Punk

[KIRA]

if slater stops doing his lil dance after matches I'll be sooo happy

[HBPunk]

Bryan is building his feud, but he def needs the interaction with Miz. I mean honestly, Miz is the only guy getting over by personality alone in WWE right now aside from Truth.

Wade is there, very much there.

Aside from Miz and Truth who else gets to talk? Not incl. HBK, HHH, Cena and other household names. Jesus even a few short words every week for Evan, Carlito, Ryder etc and they would get over too

[Juan]

wooo Justin Angel!

[chieflikeanindian]

Pretty sad this show already showed more wrestling than what raw and impact have showed in the past month.

[KIRA]

Darren Young forgot to add SSJ Goku to his list of heros

[Juan]

Johnny Cash :heart:

[HBPunk]

Slater stole TBK's awesome dance

[Nark Order]

Slater's dance made me punch my girlfriend in the face. Now the cops are coming. Thanks Slater, you fucking prick.

[Emperor Smeat]

Darren Young forgot to add SSJ Goku to his list of heros

:lol:

[Droford]

Ive got a bad feeling they put Gabriel over Barret to try and get him "established" with wins vs a pro and a top Rookie.

[Innovator]

Darren Young should be awesome if he can tap into the awesomeness of Punk

[Loose Cannon]

Aside from Miz and Truth who else gets to talk? Not incl. HBK, HHH, Cena and other household names. Jesus even a few short words every week for Evan, Carlito, Ryder etc and they would get over too

bullshit. Being able to say words to an audience does not mean you'll get over. They give Miz the mic because the guy knows how to work a crowd. Evan Bourne is not even close to Miz. They've given Carlito plenty of mic time before and he's never been as over as Miz ever. I don't know anything about Ryder, so can't comment there

[KIRA]

Anyone notice Otunga was still fairly distant from R-truth after their victory

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Aside from Miz and Truth who else gets to talk? Not incl. HBK, HHH, Cena and other household names. Jesus even a few short words every week for Evan, Carlito, Ryder etc and they would get over too

Evan can't cut a promo for shit, and Carlito has had the opportunity to work a mic, and it did not get him over very much.

And Ryder, well... he could get over off the mic... but, it would be a a goofball.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

bullshit. Being able to say words to an audience does not mean you'll get over. They give Miz the mic because the guy knows how to work a crowd. Evan Bourne is not even close to Miz. They've given Carlito plenty of mic time before and he's never been as over as Miz ever. I don't know anything about Ryder, so can't comment there

LC I fuckin love you

[HBPunk]

They've given Carlito plenty of mic time before and he's never been as over as Miz ever. I don't know anything about Ryder, so can't comment there

Evan Bourne hasn't even cut a promo yet so maybe give him a chance first, Carlito WAS over already when he did talk but he dropped the ball and WWE lost faith, bullshit to you sir

[chieflikeanindian]

Just face it people the miz really is awesome

[HeartBreakMan2k]

And is he black or white? Seriously...

And seriously... someone... anyone?

[HBPunk]

LC I fuckin love you

Ye shud teabag eachother after NXT guys

[Loose Cannon]

Evan has had plenty of mic time, so I don't even know what you're talking about. What do you want him to go out to the ring and actually cut a promo? There's a reason he's not out there doing that

[Vastardikai]

The list of people currently on NXT with more speaking skills than Matt Hardy:

The Miz
William Regal
Carlito
Chris Jericho
Christian
CM Punk
R-Truth
Wade Barrett
Daniel Bryan
Skip Sheffield
David Otunga
Serena
Luke Gallows

[Droford]

The question I have is this:

Are the Pros really working with the Rookies the other 6 days or is that just a gimmick?

[Jeritron]

I'll assume Edge, Jericho, Batista, Punk, Christian, Orton, Dibiase, etc arre counted in your list.

That's a lot of guys. There's only so much time, regardless of their being 2 main shows. I think the balance of guys getting a chance to talk and getting a chance to wrestle is pretty good right now

[HBPunk]

Evan has had plenty of mic time, so I don't even know what you're talking about. What do you want him to go out to the ring and actually cut a promo? There's a reason he's not out there doing that

Yes i do, I want him to actually say human words insteada standing backstage smiling and looking excited

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Evan Bourne hasn't even cut a promo yet so maybe give him a chance first, Carlito WAS over already when he did talk but he dropped the ball and WWE lost faith, bullshit to you sir

Carlito has never truly been over, he's never been someone the fans got behind as a face or heel. He was over for spitting an apple and having big fucking hair. You know what, if I spit an apple in someones face it would be over too because it's punking someone. People eat that kind of shit up. And huge hair is awesome too. Hell, the first season of american idol some guy almost won because he had huge Carlito hair.

[Droford]

The list of people currently on NXT with more speaking skills than Matt Hardy:

The Miz
William Regal
Carlito
Chris Jericho
Christian
CM Punk
R-Truth
Wade Barrett
Daniel Bryan
Skip Sheffield
David Otunga
Serena
Luke Gallows

Matt Striker

[Juan]

Yes i do, I want him to actually say human words insteada standing backstage smiling and looking excited

Did you ever hear Evan talk in ROH and ECW? Some guys just aren't cut for it.

[Nark Order]

Don't get how Dancin Dave said that he did what he did to prove to all the people that he's better than Cena but then directly afterward he said he didn't care what the people think.

[Emperor Smeat]

The list of people currently on NXT with more speaking skills than Matt Hardy:

The Miz
William Regal
Carlito
Chris Jericho
Christian
CM Punk
R-Truth
Wade Barrett
Daniel Bryan
Skip Sheffield
David Otunga
Serena
Luke Gallows

Can't forget about Josh Matthews either even if he's just an announcer.

[McLegend]

Nobody does better Video packages then the WWE :y:

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Yes i do, I want him to actually say human words insteada standing backstage smiling and looking excited

That's all he's capable of though. It's the EXACT same reason why Brock Lesnar didn't say a word for his first two years and never should have. He's not capable of coming across well.

[Nark Order]

Evan Bourne is the main reason why there are managers in professional wrestling. Why managers aren't being utilized in the WWE I'll never know.

[HBPunk]

Carlito has never truly been over, he's never been someone the fans got behind as a face or heel. He was over for spitting an apple and having big fucking hair. You know what, if I spit an apple in someones face it would be over too because it's punking someone. People eat that kind of shit up. And huge hair is awesome too. Hell, the first season of american idol some guy almost won because he had huge Carlito hair.

Carlito was getting over on his vignettes alone, and he was moved to Raw because he was so popular.. nobody remember that?

[chieflikeanindian]

I cant take cena serious no more with his toddler outfits

[Vastardikai]

"Be Yourself" by Audioslave?

Way to keep it current...

[Juan]

Carlito was getting over on his vignettes alone, and he was moved to Raw because he was so popular.. nobody remember that?

Yes, but Carlito being lazy and not doing anything else to improve himself is not WWE's fault.

[Jimmy Cones]

Evan Bourne is the main reason why there are managers in professional wrestling. Why managers aren't being utilized in the WWE I'll never know.

Speaking of which, that's my dream job. How do I get into this?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Carlito was getting over on his vignettes alone, and he was moved to Raw because he was so popular.. nobody remember that?

Because of his look and spitting in peoples face! Not because promos. Once the fans realized that's all there was to him, They stopped giving a shit.

-edit below-

And then WWE Stopped giving a shit.

And then Carlito stopped giving a shit.

And now WWE never will give a shit and he's jobbing to fucking Heath Slater.

[Nark Order]

Alright guys, I may start not making any sense soon. 5 beers deep now. Just a warning.

[Vastardikai]

I cant take cena serious no more with his toddler outfits

You took him seriously BEFORE?

[Loose Cannon]

Best Mania in years.

[Innovator]

JERICHOOOOOOOOOOO

[Innovator]

I still mark for break the walls down

[chieflikeanindian]

Hey its Chris Jericho and a bullfighter?

[Nark Order]

Cowering in Wade Barrett's manliness right now.

[HBPunk]

Yes, but Carlito being lazy and not doing anything else to improve himself is not WWE's fault.

Yes but my point was that he was over and popular and could talk, i dont doubt hes a tit backstage, sure flair and carlito had a program thinly based on his shit attitude

[Providence Peep]

Wade Barrett is walking to the ring ala Regal circa 1995.

[Innovator]

THE HIGHLIGHT REEL!

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Best Mania in years.

By far.

[Xerzes]

Every time I look at Heath Slater, I see King Slender. Also I hate him.

[Vastardikai]

Worst FF commercial song: XIII or X-2?

[Droford]

Best Mania in years.

Something is gonna be a let down.

[HBPunk]

Anyone else think that Audioslave song ages very very badly? its sounds so old, they shuda used slow ride

[chieflikeanindian]

You took him seriously BEFORE?

Yes just for a short period and i was also smoking a bunch of wacky tobacky during this period

[Loose Cannon]

By far.

off topic, I heard UFC was coming to Charlotte. Not a PPV. like one of the Fight Nights

[Providence Peep]

Speaking of which, that's my dream job. How do I get into this?

In case you haven't noticed, "managers" aren't used much anymore.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

off topic, I heard UFC was coming to Charlotte. Not a PPV. like one of the Fight Nights

Yeah, I think that's where Gomi and Florian are fighting.

[HBPunk]

I hope Vince brings back K-Fed to feud with Cena again

[Vastardikai]

Anyone else think that Audioslave song ages very very badly? its sounds so old, they shuda used slow ride

Yes.

[Providence Peep]

From what I understand, the Pro's will be doing the voting.

That's what I thought too, but tonight Cole said the pros will be "voting alongside the WWE Universe." Maybe they haven't quite ironed out all the details yet.

[Jimmy Cones]

In case you haven't noticed, "managers" aren't used much anymore.

Not in wwe, but realistically I wouldn't be good enough for "the show" anyways

[HeartBreakMan2k]

off topic, I heard UFC was coming to Charlotte. Not a PPV. like one of the Fight Nights


Yeah, they sent out an email about a month ago. Should be a pretty good card.

Did you see they're going to start running PPVs in movie theaters live?

[McLegend]

off topic, I heard UFC was coming to Charlotte. Not a PPV. like one of the Fight Nights

Lot of drunken hicks in the crowd that night.

[HBPunk]

Not in wwe, but realistically I wouldn't be good enough for "the show" anyways

If you look like that little bloke under your name i dont think you'd get over :)

[Innovator]

I can't fucking wait for Vince/Bret/Austin

[chieflikeanindian]

Looks like Austins gonna be the guest ref for that match

[Droford]

not much time for this..boo

[KIRA]

Now I'm curious what does a PG Austin sound like

[Innovator]

Lot of drunken hicks in the crowd that night.
They show up at UFC fights, even in Jersey

[Vastardikai]

Thank god they got rid of the worst shirt EVER.

[HBPunk]

Now I'm curious what does a PG Austin sound like

Randy Orton during his face run

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Lot of drunken hicks in the crowd that night.

Meh, more than likely a very heavy military crowd honestly.

[Poit]

Worst FF commercial song: XIII or X-2?

X-2. Not only was the song bad, it got stuck in your head easily.

[Providence Peep]

Sorry to get OT here, but since the matches on RAW this Monday will all be WrestleMania re-matches, don't you think Corporal Kirchner vs. Nikolai Volkoff would be a hell of a match? :shifty:

[Providence Peep]

Michael Cole is a toolbox

[Juan]

Love Justin Angel

[Droford]

So Cole is gonna be a mark for Barrett?

[Innovator]

Crowd chants for USA, crowd loving the ref

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I like Gabriel, but I want Paul Heymen being his manager... really just any good mouthpiece. I like his ring work alot, but he's bland as fuck on the mic. Use his accent in VERY small doses because it's got a charm that could get him over, but he should never do the brunt of his own promo.

He actually would have been a perfect annoying heel for Jim Cornette to manage now that I'm thinking about it..

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Crowd chanting USA and no one in the match is from America...

[Loose Cannon]

fucking stupid crowd chanting USA

[Poit]

Are the USA chants supposed to be for the South African guy?

[Nark Order]

lol USA chant

[Emperor Smeat]

so the rose Barret wears really does have a meaning. Whole time I was unsure if it was just for appearance or for some other reason.

[KIRA]

X-2. Not only was the song bad, it got stuck in your
head easily.

I wanna cast my vote for "other" other being the song from The Kingdom Hearts commercials

[Innovator]

YES WADE BARRETT

I love when heels kick the head of the face in a sunset flip pin

[HeartBreakMan2k]

So Cole is gonna be a mark for Barrett?

Nah, Cole only remembers to be entertaining and have a character when pertaining to Daniel Bryan.

[Juan]

lol Jericho

[Innovator]

MAYBE I SHOULD

[Droford]

love Jericho yelling commentary

[Vastardikai]

Shades of Bobby Eaton with that slingshot back breaker.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

so the rose Barret wears really does have a meaning. Whole time I was unsure if it was just for appearance or for some other reason.

Yeah, that whole explanation Cole gave was actually from Wade's blog on wwe.com. Good read actually.

[Juan]

YESSSS

[Droford]

fuck

[Innovator]

Jericho is the fucking man, even Darren Young and Wade Barrett face off, Punk and Jericho's awesomeness might cause an implosion

[Poit]

450 from out of nowhere! Wait, nowhere?

[Nark Order]

Barrett takes the loss. :(

[Droford]

I called it though..but fuck..

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Is Jericho beating him with his jacket?

[Loose Cannon]

LIONTAMER

[Juan]

ASK HIM

[Innovator]

LIONTAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HeartBreakMan2k]

LION TAMER BABY!! Whooo!

[Providence Peep]

So Justin Gabriel and Evan Bourne have the same finishing move?

[Poit]

The return of the Liontamer is one of the best parts of NXT.

[Droford]

so apparently Jericho only does the Liontamer to rookies.

[Emperor Smeat]

The return of the Liontamer is one of the best parts of NXT.

:yes:

[HeartBreakMan2k]

So Justin Gabriel and Evan Bourne have the same finishing move?

Is Bourne not still using the Shooting Star Press?

[KIRA]

Its offical Jericho saves the Liontamer for NXT

[Poit]

So Justin Gabriel and Evan Bourne have the same finishing move?

No. Bourne's finisher is a Shooting Star Press. Gabriel's finisher is a 450 splash.

[Loose Cannon]

ASK HIM

LOL

Does he still do that?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Its offical Jericho saves the Liontamer for NXT

Or guys who are actually smaller than him... so yeah, 2 parts of NXT

[Providence Peep]

No. Bourne's finisher is a Shooting Star Press. Gabriel's finisher is a 450 splash.

I hate showing my ignorance, but those moves are similar, right?

[Jimmy Cones]

backflip vs frontflip

[HBPunk]

I hate showing my ignorance, but those moves are similar, right?

well you have eyes, what do you think?

[Providence Peep]

backflip vs frontflip

Thanks

[Juan]

LOL

Does he still do that?

lol yeah

[Vastardikai]

According to Gabriel's words: He has a European style mixed with a strike heavy style.

Accroding to Kai's eyes: He's a fucking spot monkey.

[Juan]

According to Gabriel's words: He has a European style mixed with a strike heavy style.

Accroding to Kai's eyes: He's a fucking spot monkey.

Have you seen him wrestle before NXT started???

[HBPunk]

According to Gabriel's words: He has a European style mixed with a strike heavy style.

Accroding to Kai's eyes: He's a fucking spot monkey.

Who the FUCK is kai??

[Nark Order]

Is everybody that has a top rope finishing move a spot monkey now?

[HBPunk]

Is everybody that has a top rope finishing move a spot monkey now?

To newbie fans they are yes sadly, these guys grew up in the Cena era(thats not what this will be called is it??)

[Vastardikai]

No.

I'm basing it strictly off of what I'm seeing. He really has done little to prove that. Even the little highlight reel he had on his promo was spot monkey-ing.

No.

I'm basing it strictly off of what I'm seeing. He really has done little to prove that. Even the little highlight reel he had on his promo was spot monkey-ing.

orrrrrrr you could watch ufc if you want constant tickling on the mat

[Vastardikai]

Who the FUCK is kai??

Kai is short for "the 'Kai", which is short for "Vastardikai."

Is everybody that has a top rope finishing move a spot monkey now?

No, but most of what he did seemed to have no rhyme or reason. Barrett seems to understand Ring Psychology 101. At least the finish seemed to make sense.

The only thing I could possibly see going with this is that Matt is telling him to "Be Jeff."

orrrrrrrrrrrrrr you could go teabag a bear trap. :D

[loopydate]

Yeah, but who do you look for next 'seasons' NXT if you bring those guys up instead.

Johnny Prime - Use the footage from a year or so ago when Cena saved Prime from the Conglomerate and introduce Cena as his mentor.

Alex Riley - The Miz would have been a perfect mentor for him, but I'd rather not recycle people, so maybe somebody like Shelton Benjamin, playing up their similar collegiate backgrounds.

Bo and Duke Rotundo - Cryme Tyme takes their fellow fun-loving tag team under their wing

Alberto Banderas - Chavo Guerrero?

Titus O'Neil - MVP?

Jimmy and Jules Uso - Legacy?

That's just based on guys who are in development now. Focus on the tag division with the Rotundos and the Usos, both sets of second-generation workers. Otunga and Young didn't spend much time in FCW before getting the NXT call-up, so there's a distinct possibility there will be a couple of better candidates that slide in in the meantime.

Don't get me wrong, I totally get why they put Bryan and Barrett on NXT. It gives them breakout stars to prove that the show works, plus it lets them get the rub from Miz and Jericho. I'm just saying that - if there were no NXT - those two would have made the leap pretty easily themselves.

Kai...you are very cool.
If he becomes jeff, well good stuff cos we just lost a jeff to TNA

Utterly ridiculous, id never walk balls-first through an unknown heavily wooded area. its balls suicide

[Providence Peep]

If you threw John Cena, an Oompa Loompa, and one of those little Trolls with the spikey hair in a blender... you'd get Darren Young.

So is Darren Young - look closely. You have eyes, right?

[Poit]

Well, last week Matt & Gabriel did two modified Hardy Boyz moves.

[HBPunk]

So is Darren Young - look closely. You have eyes, right?

Yes, i have two eyes approx. ah there's a pic of Darren now, hmmmm if im not mistaken, yes it seems Darren Young is a black man

[Providence Peep]

No, he is orange. Look more closely.

[Vastardikai]

How dare you leave off the man known as LOW KI

[HBPunk]

How dare you leave off the man known as LOW KI

The name Low Ki makes him sound lame and kinda like the dork at the party who eyes up the hot girl all night, tries to smell her hair, gets slapped and ends up drunk in bed at midnight jacking off over the image of his sister and dad kissing

[Providence Peep]

:love: im gonna dream about you tonight. mmmm providence deep in my ass

You wish.
Go to bed now - it's past your bedtime.

[HBPunk]

[Juan]

[HBPunk]

[Juan]

Go read a book.

[HBPunk]

Hope thats Daniel Bryan's new catchphrase. and reading is just not fun

[Nark Order]

When the WWE pros found out that there was going to be a rookie from South Africa, I wonder how many of them walked up to Darren Young and welcomed him to America.

[Skippord]

I'd like to see Wade Barrett and Low Ki feud

The promos would be the manliest thing ever

[Dark One]

More Wade Barrett awesomeness from Twitter:

Random dude: "so @WadeBarrett looks like if ed norton and sean penn procreated. thus, i'm proposing a gimmick change to a gay, retarded neo-nazi."

Wade Barrett: "@tittybutts I'm not sure that works in a PG company."

[parkmania]

So, if there's to be 3 "seasons" in a year and 8 rookies per season, how long can NXT go until everyone who's even REMOTELY television ready is used up?

Or do you think the format will soon change to be that only some of the NXT guys each season get the call-up? Then what happens to the ones that don't "make it"? Do they get invites back for next season, or do they end up repackaged/endeavored?

[loopydate]

Like Danielson and Barrett, he's ready. Wouldn't need the show

[viO]

The final cable rating for the Tuesday, March 9th edition of WWE NXT On SyFy came in at a 1.0.

NXT is now officially where ECW was in the ratings when the company decided to shut the brand down.

Just thought I should post this considering the thread title.

Was the format from the beginning. Stated that only two of them get to go up to the main roster. Most of the others (I forget if it was three or five) stay on the show for the next "season". The rest go to hell or FCW, whichever is closer.
