Official NXT Thread, airing 6/15/10 (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

[Anybody Thrilla]

Victory is mine.

Percy Watson for life.

[Xero]

Congrats.

[parkmania]

Not sure if I'll be awake for it tonight or if I'll have to watch on tape in the morning. Haven't gotten much sleep the past couple days and have a huge headache atm.

[XCaliber]

Doubt he will win the whole thing but I'm rooting for Alex Riley.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I hope Kaval wrestles tonight. Michael McGillicutty, too.

[thecc]

There needs to be some double stomps tonight

[Razzamajazz]

wade barret will somehow get himself into this season and win since he was "fired" last night

[Anybody Thrilla]

And what pros would vote for Wade Barrett?

[Xero]

The Miz.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Definitely will be tuning in.

If they force the NXT2 guys to once again watch what NXT1 did last night, it'll definitely hint that NXT2 is gonna get involved in this angle at some point (either joining with them or going against them).</font>

[thecc]

things looking bad for the Celtics.

[Anybody Thrilla]

45-27? Hot damn.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>WE ARE WILD AND YOUNG</font>

[Anybody Thrilla]

The baby's falling asleep RIGHT NOW. Perfection.

[teamXtremist]

lets do this

[Droford]

iGot Lucky

hmm

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>No Miz?</font>

[teamXtremist]

wheres miz

[teamXtremist]

break it down mvp

[Anybody Thrilla]

MVP is slightly less annoying than he was like six months ago or so.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Kaval is one lucky dude.

[Savio]

layla said she wanted to kiss him lol

[teamXtremist]

lets go hennig clap clap clap clap clap

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>WOOOOO KAVAL</font>

[teamXtremist]

kaval v riley next woot

[Innovator]

KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[Innovator]

INNO WANTS A DOUBLE STOMP

[thecc]

DOUBLE STOMP!!!!!!

[thecc]

FUCK EM UP KI, FUCK EM UP

[teamXtremist]

FUCK EM UP KI, FUCK EM UP

should be a good match up :y:

[Anybody Thrilla]

They should at least mention the lack of Miz, yes?

[teamXtremist]

hes cute hes cuddly and hell kick your fucking ass kaval

[Ermaximus]

If Kaval doesn't take Danielsons place with the NXT1 guys, he's useless with the NXT2 guys. Him with Laycool is just a joke.

[Droford]

They should at least mention the lack of Miz, yes?
Maybe he's been Carlito'ed

[Innovator]

I missed his kicks

[Anybody Thrilla]

Where. Is. The. Miz.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I love Laycool, for the record.

[Providence Peep]

What do you guys think the pros are writing up there on the stage?
Maybe the script for next week's Raw?

[teamXtremist]

kaval is fucking nice

[Ermaximus]

Was that a Mongolian chop?

[Droford]

Jericho made Wade Barrett when he did commentary.

Lay Cool will break Kaval on commentary. They're annoying. *MUTE*

[Anybody Thrilla]

Maybe he's been Carlito'ed

As the US champion?

[Savio]

Maybe they can help Cole become a better commentator.

[Innovator]

What do you guys think the pros are writing up there on the stage?
Maybe the script for next week's Raw?
I imagine lots a penis sketches

[Providence Peep]

I imagine lots a penis sketches

By Cody, anyway

[Droford]

By Cody, anyway
nah, he's drawing triforces

[Anybody Thrilla]

Took forever to mention The Miz, geez. I was worried.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yep, Kaval is still awesome.</font>

[Ermaximus]

Mark Henry is just figuring ways to make himself look stupid as 7 NXT rookies run past him after he gets a 10 second head start on the chase.

[Johnny Vegas]

Nah, in a cool way, its kind of different with "Kaval" and the girls. He still has good matches and it makes him look more a "in cool, you're not".

[Ermaximus]

nah, he's spooging his trunks over Skyward Sword for the Wii

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like this match a lot so far.

[thecc]

DAAMMMMMMM

[Providence Peep]

BTW, referring to Boston College as Boston College University is *not* incorrect.

[teamXtremist]

shit

[Ermaximus]

If Kaval DOES NOT win this season, I'll be quite shocked.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Kaval </font>:(

[Innovator]

dammit

[jerichoholicninja]

Looks like Kaval will get the Danielson treatment.

[teamXtremist]

what was that finsiher

[Anybody Thrilla]

That should have been the main event.

[McLegend]

Low-Ki kicked that guys ass for 10 mins.

Awesome.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Looks like Kaval will get the Danielson treatment.

That's one match, and he dominated most of it. Quiet you.

[Ermaximus]

At least their going to call it the Warrior's Way still.

[teamXtremist]

lol@riley

[McLegend]

Can the last 30 mins of NXT be Low-Ki kicking everyone in the chest?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LOL Ryder</font>

[Ermaximus]

LMAO

[jerichoholicninja]

I hope this Cottonwood kid goes somewhere.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cottonwood is a fruitcake.

[teamXtremist]

yes hennig time

[Innovator]

Can the last 30 mins of NXT be Low-Ki kicking everyone in the chest?
I'd imagine at least a 5.6 rating

[Providence Peep]

Cottonwood is a fruitcake.

With nuts

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Cottonwood might wind up being the oldest rookie since The Boogeyman. Dude turns 36 later this year.</font>

[Ermaximus]

I hope this Cottonwood kid goes somewhere.

He will. Back to FCW.

[Vastardikai]

I hope this Cottonwood kid goes somewhere.

He shouldn't talk, he should wreck people.

[Anybody Thrilla]

With nuts

I didn't check for those.

[Loose Cannon]

kind of feel bad for Kaval having to deal with these rookies when he's pretty much done 1,000 x more then these guys.

I liked that Cottonwood promo.

[Providence Peep]

I didn't check for those.

:rofl: LOL!
I wonder if Michael Cole did.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Raw was really good last night.

[Ermaximus]

GTV on NXT.

[Savio]

cole looks so gay

[Anybody Thrilla]

GTV on NXT.

I thought that was a weird place for a camera too.

So far, this season feels a lot more 'authentic' than the last. I like it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like Husky Harris, too.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I like Husky Harris</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>WOOOOO Hennig Jr!</font>

[Ermaximus]

I like Joe Henning.

[Vastardikai]

<font color=goldenrod>WOOOOO Hennig Jr!</font>

Hennig III. ;)

[legendkillerRKO]

lets go McGuili-Perfect!

[Providence Peep]

Since they're telling us who their fathers are, why aren't they letting Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty use their real last names? That would seem to make sense.

[XCaliber]

Ziggler should have been Double M's pro. :shifty:

[teamXtremist]

Since they're telling us who their fathers are, why aren't they letting Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty use their real last names?

thats the million dollar question

[teamXtremist]

Ziggler should have been Double M's pro. :shifty:

iam perfection!!!

[Vastardikai]

Interesting little Please Do Not Try This At Home segment, with the Do Not coming out two seconds late.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Since they're telling us who their fathers are, why aren't they letting Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty use their real last names? That would seem to make sense.

From a kayfabe standpoint, maybe they want to get big on their own without relying on their fathers.

[Providence Peep]

From a kayfabe standpoint, maybe they want to get big on their own without relying on their fathers.

Fine, but then why tell us who their fathers are?

[teamXtremist]

beautiful drop kick

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol what the fuck. Cannon survived getting hit with a beam and was in a coma. McGillicutty can tie his shoes in a second.

Kinda hope the guys with dumb names/stories wind up joining up with NXT1, agreeing with their notion that WWE Management treated them like shit</font>

[legendkillerRKO]

Fine, but then why tell us who their fathers are?

because WWE wants u to vote for them based on their father because they want to be able to actually say the fans vote counted...even though they will prolly throw out the 50% if they dont like it anyway

[Vastardikai]

The dropkick?

Shit, the Selling is great, as well.

[legendkillerRKO]

WWE where you have 50% of the power! Unless of course we don't like the guy you vote for...then we stretch the truth a little!

[teamXtremist]

The dropkick?

Shit, the Selling is great, as well.

almost perfect :D

[Ermaximus]

<font color=goldenrod>lol what the fuck. Cannon survived getting hit with a beam and was in a coma. McGillicutty can tie his shoes in a second.

Kinda hope the guys with dumb names/stories wind up joining up with NXT1, agreeing with their notion that WWE Management treated them like shit</font>

So all of NXT2 except Riley, Kaval, and Watson?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Fine, but then why tell us who their fathers are?

To advertise their pedigrees. They're all characters at the end of the day. I don't think it really matter if they use their real names.

[teamXtremist]

apparently mcgullicutty is his moms maiden name

[Evil Vito]

So all of NXT2 except Riley, Kaval, and Watson?

<font color=goldenrod>Well, if it turns out that WWE Management gave them those characters, Percy Watson could easily shed the gimmick. Kaval could be pissed cause they paired him with Lay-Cool. That leaves Riley, who could join NXT1 simply because he's a dick.

But yeah, if the plan is to eventually make this a full on WWE vs. NXT storyline, NXT's gonna need to have more than 7 guys to go up against an entire roster</font>

[teamXtremist]

how many shoulder blocks u got kid

[legendkillerRKO]

we want Beulah!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>McGillucitty and Cannon are both pretty good</font>

[teamXtremist]

yes 1-0

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wow, nice neckbreaker. Good match again.

[teamXtremist]

Wow, nice neckbreaker. Good match again.

that was sick

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol apparently Kofi wrestled on Superstars immediately after the NXT taping. Guess that explains why he didn't do anything this match</font>

[teamXtremist]

does cody have a nose ring jesus

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cody...you do realize that...you have a nose ring, right?

[teamXtremist]

who win the masses

[Vastardikai]

New twist on the Spinning Neckbreaker, never seen that version.

[James Steele]

It is a nosestud, and yes it does make him look incredibly gay.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hahaha, Cody may as well have been talking about Mark Henry there.

[Droford]

The guys who win make more money than the guys who lose..and I should know that better than anybody because I lose..a lot..

[James Steele]

MARK HENRY ROCKIN' THE MIC!

[teamXtremist]

no one can face captain lisp

[James Steele]

Striker is such a fucking tool.

[Savio]

Cody...you do realize that...you have a nose ring, right?
Wow he has the girl style nose ring.

[legendkillerRKO]

awww Cawdy! somebody gon' get day wig split!

[James Steele]

THE UNCOMMON SON OF A COMMON MAN!

[Savio]

he missed him

[teamXtremist]

lmao cya striker

[Droford]

FIRE HIM!

[teamXtremist]

FIRE HIM!

lolo

[Anybody Thrilla]

Matt Striker has been getting punked a lot lately.

[James Steele]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! I <3 Cody! I knew he had greatness written all over him when he and his brother inducted Dusty into the HoF.

:shifty:

[Ermaximus]

Rhodes going oober dick heel?

[James Steele]

WHIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[James Steele]

ROFL

Giving him water. LOL he barely got hit.

[legendkillerRKO]

this will inevitebly lead to matt stryker having enough of being punked and taking batistas place as the new monster heel!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol Striker's about to quit his job as NXT host soon</font>

[Providence Peep]

Oh, no! A cheap shot by Cody Rhodes on Matt Stryker! Quick, somebody get him a bottle of water!
And then Stryker looked at the bottle of water and looked up and was like, WTF am I supposed to do with this?

[XCaliber]

I'd like to be the first to wish Cody's nose stud well in it's future endeavors.

[Providence Peep]

So, no stupid "rookie challenges" this season?

[Schlomey]

NXT was fucking topps tonight fellas

[nrt4]

NXT was fucking topps tonight fellas

"We're sorry about giving everyone crappy names, We'll make up for it with good matches"

Seriously though you're right. I'm looking forward to seeing McGuilicutty vs. Kaval when/if it happens

[Providence Peep]

Kaval :drool:

[Schlomey]

I wanna see Urkel vs Cottonwood

[Anybody Thrilla]

So, no stupid "rookie challenges" this season?

If you recall, the stupid challenges didn't start until a few episodes in for season one. HOWEVER, there's a small chance (from a kayfabe standpoint) that the season one rookies complaining about the challenges being stupid will be enough for them not to do them this season, as to not have these rookies turn out the same as the last ones.

[Vastardikai]

Week 2 analysis.

In Ring:
Kaval: He's as good as advertised. Looked really good in his match against Riley. He looked like a threat. And he got over with his brutality.
Riley: Still not feeling him, but he's good in the ring. He does get good heat, despite no one knowing who the fuck he is. His finish is good.
Mcguilli-Hennig: He did the Lion's Share of the work in his match. Everything he did was great. And he did something I did NOT think possible: create a neckbreaker variation I had never seen before.
Cannon: He really is this season's Lance Cade... I mean Heath Slater. He couldn't be more bland if his name was Vanilla. He comes off as really green, and though he did alot of work in the match, he was just there.

The Promos:
Har-Rotunda: Interesting Story. He comes off like a modern splotch-less Dusty Rhodes. And that is a good thing if he can get over with this crowd.
Cottonwood: I don't feel like he should talk much. He should just say enough to make people think he's a dangerous man, and then back up those concerns with brutality.

[Skippord]

this episode of NXT made me realize I can never book a wrestling show

[Vastardikai]

Why's that?

[Skippord]

I would just book Kaval to win every match on every episode of NXT

even ones he's not involved in in any way

[Vastardikai]

makes sense. I would say he looked really strong even in defeat. And Riley needs the rub slightly more.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I loved NXT this week. Everyone got a chance to be developed, when you think about it. To get 16 guys doing something in an hour and not make it feel like TNA is pretty impressive.

The opening segment was neccessary after last week. It established why things went down as they did, and explained how the rookies and pros can be back on the same page. This led to Alex Riley vs. Kaval, which was a great match. Kaval is intense, and people will get into him and his kicks. He looked more dominating than Riley, so it made sense to have him lose the match. Riley needs a chance to show himself off -- I mean, he doesn't exactly have a pro that people will get behind.

I think Riley could be a star. He can really talk, and he carried himself well in the ring. The WWE have been looking for a way to get him involved on RAW for a long time, and it looks like they've finally found it. I'd like to see his relationship with The Miz keep going past NXT 2. He could be a huge factor in The Miz's success in his second reign as United States Champion.

Michael McGillicutty's name was finally explained. It's actually growing on me, even though I still think it's stupid. I liked the construct of the main event. On one hand, Lucky Cannon took a beating, so we are meant to like him -- but resourceful McGillicutty came out of nowhere to win the match. I must see his shoe-lace tying. Sounds so Mr. Perfect-ish. Also, I think McGillicutty should have a perfect record.

I'm actually looking forward to Cody Rhodes vs. Lucky Cannon next week. Rhodes will win that match, but both Rhodes and Cannon are solid ring hands that I don't think people expect much from, so they will surprise.

[Vastardikai]

Season 2's class is better than Season 1's, based solely off first impressions.

I was only really impressed by AmDrag, Barrett, and Sheffield from Season 1 off the bat. And even then, I felt Sheff's character needed a mean streak.

I rib the hell out of Watson for looking like a cross between Urkel and Lamont (sp? The gay guy from Revenge of the Nerds), but he's got personality. Cottonwood, I think we all know how I feel on him. Kaval is kind of a duh. Harris is better than given credit for. Riley, apart from stealing Rick Steiner's Jacket and fucking it up, is good at everything. And Hennig is great at everything.
