Official NXT Thread- Will Daniel Bryan mutilate any cattle?

[Indifferent Clox]

Starts soon

[Xero]

THE CHAMP IS NXT!

[Innovator]

Daniel Bryan 3:16

[dronepool]

I can't believe that I like NXT. I thought it would either suck or be "alright" but it's actually not half bad at all. I usually skipped ECW half of the time in 2009 or haven't really cared if I was missing. But NXT actually makes me want to check it out if I'm at home at this time.

Cool.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I hope they don't blow the Daniel Bryan/Miz match on NXT unless it's the season finale or something.

[Indifferent Clox]

I want to see Daniel Bryan school someone this week sooooo bad

[Droford]

I bet Bryan loses again.

[Anybody Thrilla]

WE..ARE...WIIIIILD..AND...YOUNGGG

Speaking of Young, here comes Darren.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Record keeping, nice.

[Droford]

Neato..we're keeping track of records.

[RatedGSuperstar]

A show that starts with Punk can never turn out to be bad. I'm pumped.

[AngryMidjit]

it's marlon wayans!

[Droford]

The rookies should probably not be on needles..

[Jeritron]

They're doing elimination? I thought it was just a thing where the vote was made at the end

[Anybody Thrilla]

I wish CM Punk would have slapped the shit out of Savannah.

Also, it's nice to see that Justin Gabriel isn't dressed like a huge faggot this week. Can't say the same for Matt Hardy, though.

[AngryMidjit]

lol Fatt Hardy sign

[The Franchise]

I don't get NXT here and was wondering if they keep it strictly to the pro/rookie stuff or do other storylines too. Would Punk interact with Rey on this show?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Not that it really matters at all, but I hope Danielson picks up a win soon.

[Poit]

Poetry in Motion :D

[AngryMidjit]

wow, faces wearing white and heels wearing black

[Droford]

I didnt think Punk was gonna tag in

[RatedGSuperstar]

I don't get NXT here and was wondering if they keep it strictly to the pro/rookie stuff or do other storylines too. Would Punk interact with Rey on this show?

No, but the pros might interact with their rookies on their "home" show. I think I remember Gabriel accompanying Matt to the ring an episode of Smackdown or two ago.

[AngryMidjit]

i like punk looking like he doesn't give a shit

[Anybody Thrilla]

No, but the pros might interact with their rookies on their "home" show. I think I remember Gabriel accompanying Matt to the ring an episode of Smackdown or two ago.

Daniel Bryan even went as far as to cost The Miz his match on Smackdown.

[AngryMidjit]

ffs 8 minutes in and a commercial break

[Droford]

There should be some sort of incentive for the Pro of the Rookie that wins..

Though that would not be good for Punk

[Jeritron]

Not that it really matters at all, but I hope Danielson picks up a win soon.

I would love it if he kept dominating every match, but never got the win thanks to The Miz and other nonsense.

Maybe even have The Miz cost him the match that is key in determining the winner of the whole show.

Then, if he finally got a match for the US Title against The Miz and pulled off the huge victory it would be awesome

[blak23]

bryan is a definite to win. i pretty much see everybody able to make it other than tarver and regal's guy

[Anybody Thrilla]

Darren Young is growing on me for some reason.

[Droford]

ouch

[Jeritron]

Did Michael Cole just say Jeff Hardy?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Michael Cole is such a douche on this show...love it, though.

[Droford]

is Punk hurt?

i guess not

[Anybody Thrilla]

That was a fairly entertaining match.

I like how the bell rang before the ref signaled for it, though.

[Emperor Smeat]

lol Young thought he was finally friends with Punk

[Droford]

hahah

lol at the kid in the background going "WHAT!!!"

[Anybody Thrilla]

That Darren Young ridiculous hair do has got to be leading to him eventually joining the SES one day, right?

[Anybody Thrilla]

The best wrestler in the world vs. the worst wrestler in the world

[Droford]

That Darren Young ridiculous hair do has got to be leading to him eventually joining the SES one day, right?

then he becomes the Black Cena

and lol..Bryan vs Kahli..wtf?

[Jeritron]

lol wow. I can hear the IWC already

[RatedGSuperstar]

Well, if Bryan mutilates any cattle he'll just make Khali angry.

[Anybody Thrilla]

To answer the question in the thread title, I don't think we'll be seeing any Cattle Mutilation tonight.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well played, RatedG.

[Droford]

0-3..soon to be 0-4

[Droford]

omg lol at the dudes dancing to kahlis music

def will be be a gif of them

[Anybody Thrilla]

Those black guys were gettin' jiggy to Khali's theme song.

[Emperor Smeat]

lol Cole making fun of Bryan

[Anybody Thrilla]

It really is a catchy tune, though.

[Juan]

I hope Daniel Bryan destroys Khali

[RatedGSuperstar]

Never knew Punjabi music was so big in urban LA. Look at those guys rock out.

[Loose Cannon]

god I love Michael Cole right now

[Droford]

I hope Daniel Bryan destroys Khali

I think you're about to be disapointed

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Heel Cole</font> :love:

[Indifferent Clox]

what an awful choice of opponents

[Anybody Thrilla]

If Daniel Bryan goes to bed at 8 and they have a west coast NXT taping, does he automatically fofeit his match?

[AngryMidjit]

khali on his knees is almost as tall as bryan :shifty:

[Loose Cannon]

Epic Fail

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Daniel Bryan is going to win NXT despite never winning</font> :love:

[RatedGSuperstar]

WWE is just toying with the IWC right now.

And now the Big Show for the scraps?

[jerichoholicninja]

Bryan gets the Collin Delany treatment.

[Loose Cannon]

everybody come out and give Danielson your finisher night

[Anybody Thrilla]

I was thinking it would have been nice to have a dominant heel in that match instead of Khali, but I couldn't think of who else to put in there. Fucking Big Show. Miz's tag parter. Duh.

[Poit]

Never mind.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Should be epic when Bryan gets that first win against The Miz, at least.

[Loose Cannon]

Mr. Barrett is next

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I'm guessing the Bryan wins by getting all the faces to vote for him, plus Regal.

[Nervous Ferret]

what the hell@ Daniel Bryan

[Anybody Thrilla]

Mr. Barrett is next

No, Mr. Barrett is last. They said that's the main event.

[Loose Cannon]

Would you please shut the hellllllllll up

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think we're due for a Michael Tarver appaerance this week.

Do you think there'll ever be a week where Daniel Bryan doesn't see action?

[dronepool]

Daniel should cost ShowMiz the belts at WM.

[RatedGSuperstar]

I'm guessing the Bryan wins by getting all the faces to vote for him, plus Regal.

It definitely feels like they're building up to something like all the faces saying, "You know what, The Miz is a little prick. I'm voting for Bryan."

I wonder where Wade Barrett's voice fits on Bryan's manliness scale.

[Droford]

Wade needs Regals old music

[Anybody Thrilla]

Daniel should cost ShowMiz the belts at WM.

I like that to continue the feud, but I don't like that to give R-Truth the rights to appear on each show.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I would like to point out that I called the fact that Bret was faking the broken leg to lure Vince into a match as soon as it happened. That should be bonus points for Tipsters.

[Indifferent Clox]

at least he almost beat him

[Innovator]

SPEAR

[Droford]

why is cena wearing his john deere hat in that shot? Shouldnt he be wearing the NY Mets hat?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Otunga's kinda the man too. I think I like all of the rookies besides Heath Slater.

[dronepool]

I like that to continue the feud, but I don't like that to give R-Truth the rights to appear on each show.


Indeed, such a dilemma. :rofl:

[Innovator]

Yeah Heath Slater isn't working for me

[Anybody Thrilla]

I called the Tarver appearance too.

Anyway, why are there like 53 people in the wrestling forum and so little action in this thread right now?

[Jeritron]

Tarver has 0 shot of winning anything

[Indifferent Clox]

Daniel Bryan just put on a decent match with khali though, pretty much carried it

[RatedGSuperstar]

I hope Otunga comes out with a shirt that says "Google Me." someday. That's the second or third time I've seen that bio vid and it's still not old.

"You know who also went to Harvard Law School? THE PRESIDENT!"

[Loose Cannon]

Pete Rose/Kane again :nono:

[Poit]

THAT'S PETE ROSE!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Best chances of winning NXT IMO:

Daniel Bryan
David Otunga
Wade Barrett
Justin Gabriel
Heath Slater
Darren Young
Skip Sheffield
Michael Tarver

[RatedGSuperstar]

List looks spot on, ABT.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Tarver's gonna win this match, though.

[Innovator]

There couldn't be any less fitting music than Michael Tarver using Carlito's music

[Innovator]

AAAAAND Josh owns Cole again

[Anybody Thrilla]

Do you think Michael Cole feels like he's the 'pro' and Josh Matthews is the 'rookie'?

[RatedGSuperstar]

Did Slater steal a pair of The Miz's tights?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did Slater steal a pair of The Miz's tights?

Daniel Bryan was giving them away to get back at The Miz.

[Nark Order]

Feeeeeel good stories

[Anybody Thrilla]

Shows what I know.

[Poit]

Did Slater steal a pair of The Miz's tights?

Be Slater.

[Innovator]

WOOO TBONE TAZPLEX!

[RatedGSuperstar]

Tarver = NXT jobber.

Isn't he the one Otunga dropped in about a minute the first week?

[Anybody Thrilla]

If Tarver can knock any man out in 1.9 seconds, maybe he should try throwing even one punch in his match.

[Poit]

Tarver = NXT jobber.

Isn't he the one Otunga dropped in about a minute the first week?

I thought that was Young?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Tarver = NXT jobber.

Isn't he the one Otunga dropped in about a minute the first week?

That was Darren Young.

[Emperor Smeat]

Tarver = NXT jobber.

Isn't he the one Otunga dropped in about a minute the first week?

That was Young I believe.

[Loose Cannon]

I'm going to be talking a lot about Michael Tarver in the office tomorrow

[Innovator]

ain't no grave

[Emperor Smeat]

If Tarver can knock any man out in 1.9 seconds, maybe he should try throwing even one punch in his match.

I'm a bit surprised WWE hasn't bothered to give him a Mike Tyson style character based on his background and history.

He could be like The Sandman and have him face a jobber who's name happens to be Little Mac :shifty:

[Nark Order]

Being Carlito's rookie... well, you know.

[Anybody Thrilla]

ain't no grave

That song fits that match perfectly.

[RatedGSuperstar]

I thought that was Young?

That was Darren Young.

That's right...my bad. Probably not a good thing for his chances that he's really the only guy on the NXT roster I can't remember seeing.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like the "T" Tarver does with his arms, but I can't find much more to enjoy outside of that so far.

[Indifferent Clox]

anybody got a bryan danielson torrent of his best matches?

[Juan]

HOF spoiler?

[Anybody Thrilla]

anybody got a bryan danielson torrent of his best matches?

I'm surprised you don't. You seem to be his biggest fan.

[screech]

I like the "T" Tarver does with his arms, but I can't find much more to enjoy outside of that so far.

Agreed. Like many, I really can't see him going anywhere.

[Nark Order]

Feeling less manly now.

[Nark Order]

HOF spoiler?

Are you talking about Stu? They announced it on RAW.

[Nervous Ferret]

That is what William Regal looks like now wtf

[Nark Order]

If Skip Scheffeild was cross-eyed, it would be perfect.

[Indifferent Clox]

He is my favorite wrestler. I just love his style, i bought his ROH dvd, but that's like all his early stuff, I'd like a bunch of stuff from his whole career, pwg roh, japan, etc.

[RatedGSuperstar]

I'm surprised Regal hasn't tried to trade Sheffield to Jericho for Barrett yet.

[Emperor Smeat]

lol loving Jericho randomly interrupting the announcers each week.

[screech]

:lol: Jericho is great

[Indifferent Clox]

oh jericho

[Innovator]

That was the first time i've busted out laughing from WWE in a while

[Juan]

lol Jericho

[Poit]

I think Jericho had a hard time keeping a straight face during that tirade.

[RatedGSuperstar]

"Talk about Barrett!"

"We are!"

"Do it more!"

:lol:

[Nark Order]

Red Rose of Lancashire

[Nervous Ferret]

LOL Jericho was smiling and laughing to himself after that last interruption

[Poit]

Vintage Skip Sheffield!

[Juan]

lol nice burn by Cole there

[Anybody Thrilla]

Haha, Cole/Matthews for feud of the year.

[Innovator]

SLOBBERKNOCKER!

[Poit]

Matthews is awesome tonight.

[Nark Order]

lol Regal

[RatedGSuperstar]

And the night is capped off with a look from Regal that rivals any look has given Darren Young. :lol:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I'm guessing the Bryan wins by getting all the faces to vote for him, plus Regal.

CM Punk too, as I think Bryan is straight edge.

I almost expect them to have Bryan snap at one point and "injure" one of the rookies. Also, if they did that, someone who gets "voted off" could come back.

Wade needs a better finisher.

[Nark Order]

Awful finishing maneuver btw

[Emperor Smeat]

King needs to take lessons from Matthews on how to interact with Cole since Cole sounds much better as an announcer when his partner is also interesting compared to his "meh" quality on RAW.

[Vastardikai]

After Week 4:

Daniel Bryan: Vs. Khali this week? Seriously? He shows heart in the loss. True enough that Kobashi lost matches for over a year straight and got over. But that's Japan. I don't know if it works here. And a Chokeslam from Show. What. The. Fuck. The blow-off better be huge.
David Otunga: The original promo again. Not bad... Nothing new.
Darren Young: Young is starting to show a level of hostility. I am liking it. And Punk drops Young after the fault.
Skip Sheffield: The bit with Regal was nice. He seems a little over-enthusiastic, which will work for him. Crowd was dead for this match. Unfortunate to be honest.
Michael Tarver: Well, he's finally wrestling this week. Slater wins, but Tarver gets the heat. Tarver is slightly better in the ring than Otunga, but he looks like a skinny D-Von Dudley.
Wade Barrett: Red Rose this week. This guy is a good worker. He had a good match, but the crowd was dead. That's unfortunate. Good win with that slam.
Justin Gabriel: Gabriel seems to only have 1 move. He can sell well.
Heath Slater: Decent match. Nice Corkscrew Tope. He doesn't impress me, though. He gets the win, but doesn't really seem to have a finish.

[Volare]

Jericho made the main event...god that was hillarious.

[Vastardikai]

After Week 4:

Daniel Bryan: Vs. Khali this week? Seriously? He shows heart in the loss. True enough that Kobashi lost matches for over a year straight and got over. But that's Japan. I don't know if it works here. And a Chokeslam from Show. What. The. Fuck. The blow-off better be huge.


Something from the Wrestlecrap board kind of puts this in perspective:

He has put up a hell of a fight in all of his losses (including not getting pinned in his third). Hell, he actually took Khali down. Most guys who face Khali DON'T. He had a chance against Jericho. He had a chance against the sloppy goof. He was injured against Barrett.

[Jeritron]

They're definitely playing the whole losing streak thing while still making him look strong. Most of his losses are a result of Miz or whatever holding him down.
Either way, it's all going to lead to a fued with Miz where he'll likely pull out the huge clean victory and win the US strap.

None of this is a guaruntee, but it seems pretty likely that this is what they're building towards

[Jeritron]

I really think they can build Danielson into the intense, sawed off badass character that Benoit was for them for years.
What he lacks in flash, he makes up for in the ring and the fans can really get behind this. Even the casual fans who aren't way into that stuff can take notice to this and get behind it. It has worked before.

Of course, I think Danielson has even more skill on the stick.
He's not as intimidating looking, but that can help him get over more as a babyface.

[roach21]

No, but the pros might interact with their rookies on their "home" show. I think I remember Gabriel accompanying Matt to the ring an episode of Smackdown or two ago.

Matt: "Come on out here to the ring with me boy and let me show you how to do a job."
