Official WWE NXT Thread for 02/23/10 - Admit it, you're watching for Danielson

[Splaya]

I'll be honest, I just turned this on, missed the Danielson thing but saw the Christian match, but I love this show already. So good, and with Christian pinning that one guy, and Danielson facing Jericho on night 1, it leaves the door open for any rookie to beat any pro on any night of NXT

[RawRocks]

The personalities certainly dont match... seems like Daniel Bryan should be with CM Punk and Darren Young should be with Christian

[Xero]

Honestly can't tell if this guy is black or overly tanned.

[Nark Order]

lol Otunga. THE PRESIDENT.

[Droford]

The Black Christopher Nowinski!

[Jeritron]

I mentor Luke Gallows and Serena

[RatedGSuperstar]

"Google Me." :lol:

[Blitz]

lol Young really does look like black Cena.

[Nark Order]

God, Truth. Ugh.

[Skippord]

wait, who's wrestling this match?

[blak23]

The personalities certainly dont match... seems like Daniel Bryan should be with CM Punk and Darren Young should be with Christian

i think thats the point to set up feuds

[Loose Cannon]

can we just have Punk talk for 15 minutes instead?

[KIRA]

Darren young looks like he popped out of a CAW randomizer

[Jeritron]

I really don't even know why I'm here

[AngryMidjit]

sheamus vs young at wrestlemania

[Favre4Ever]

The one dude looks like Rodney Mack sort of, if Mack was a gay stripper.

[Droford]

Its Orlando Jordan 2 vs The Black Christopher Nowinski

[blak23]

wow

[Emperor Smeat]

well that was quick

[legendkillerRKO]

wonder if pros will trade...like punk could trade his guy for a more serious guy

[Xero]

lol wut

[Jeritron]

I mentor Luke Gallows and Serena.

[Nark Order]

Awful looking spinebuster.

[Blitz]

lol that was quick.

[Splaya]

Wait what

[Droford]

and now its over.

Punk is even less impressed.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think I might go straight edge in hopes that I can one day be as awesome as CM Punk.

[Xero]

lol Punk just leaves.

[blak23]

bad bump

[Loose Cannon]

this guy needs to be saved

[RatedGSuperstar]

Calling it now: Otunga will beat Danielson to "win" the show, and the Internet will explode.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol Darren Young's gonna be awesome by the end of this</font>

[screech]

Awful looking spinebuster.

It was indeed horrendous.

[AngryMidjit]

daniel bryan is a mongoloid

[Blitz]

I'm gonna say Otunga will be positioned as the number 2 guy on the show.

[Poit]

That was way too quick.

[Loose Cannon]

is Punk really this amazing every week?

[Vastardikai]

That was a shit match.

[Blitz]

Top heel, at least.

[Droford]

I like how we totally ignore Jericho's rookie tonight.

Yeah.

[Anybody Thrilla]

is Punk really this amazing every week?

Yes. He really and truly is.

[Splaya]

Shocked that that was so quick but its going to serve a purpose. Punk is obviously going to convince him to become straight edge

[Xero]

is Punk really this amazing every week?

Yes.

[dronepool]

I'm gonna say Otunga will be positioned as the number 2 guy on the show.

Agreed.

[DaVe]

lol loving this so far

Punk has been hilarious.

[screech]

is Punk really this amazing every week?

:yes:

[Favre4Ever]

this guy needs to be saved

Saved by Punk AND Jesus.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like how we totally ignore Jericho's rookie tonight.

Yeah.

I TUNED INTO NXT TO SEE WADE BARRETT, DAMN IT! :mad:

Shut up, Droford.

[Nark Order]

lol yeah. That Punk thing was pretty rofl overall. "No idea why I'm even here. Who's Darren Young?"

[Jeritron]

They obviously had the match end that quick so Punk's level of disgust with the guy can raise.
They're building storylines here folks. I love how critical everyone is

[RGWhat316]

Punk pulled off the "why am I here" bit perfect.

[McLegend]

I love Darren Young.

[KIRA]

CM Punk... even his lack of expression is priceless

[legendkillerRKO]

They obviouslly had the match end that quick so Punk's level of disgust with the guy can raise.
They're building storylines here folks. I love how critical everyone is

the quick match didnt bother me...its that the dude cudnt take a spinebuster lol

[jerichoholicninja]

so much money wasted on commercials for the stupid census

[blak23]

im definitely interested to see if guys change characters by the end of the show maybe otunga lightens up, that other guy gets serious, and danielson becomes a ruthless guy

[James Diesel]

Bryan's really getting a push. I hope he wins this.

I'd also like to add that I want to be CM Punk so that Serena would be all over me, as well as Lita

[Loose Cannon]

here you go Juan

[Loose Cannon]

that's 2 or 3 replays?

[Nark Order]

Well, we couldn't go a night without Cena, could we?

[screech]

They obviously had the match end that quick so Punk's level of disgust with the guy can raise.
They're building storylines here folks. I love how critical everyone is

I really liked what they did with the match. I'm definitely looking forward to the pairing.

I guess I just didn't expect that sloppy of a finisher. He is a rookie, though, so I'm not totally surprised.

[Xero]

Punk is unreal. He plays everything so perfectly and naturally.

[KIRA]

Cena beatdown replay no.1

[Jeritron]

the quick match didnt bother me...its that the dude cudnt take a spinebuster lol

The whole point of this show is that these guys are rookies. Expect botches, and don't get bent out of shape when mic skills aren't up to par yet.
It's not the Wrestlemania main event. If these guys were ready to be on regular WWE programming, they would be.

[Xero]

Well, we couldn't go a night without Cena, could we?

We just saw evil Cena job in ten seconds.

[Nark Order]

I have a feeling Darren Young is going to be a constant source of laughter throughout all of this.

[Jeritron]

By the way, I don't get personally upset by botches. Especially when it's involving two guys I've never seen before in their first ever television match on a program about learning how to wrestle.

[Vastardikai]

Maybe Barrett will blow our mind?

Slater seems bush league.
Otunga is impressive but sloppy. Monty Brown 2.0
Young is like what the fuck.
The other guy is kind of meh.

[legendkillerRKO]

We just saw evil Cena job in ten seconds.

so black cena = evil cena? LOL

[Nark Order]

LOL so wishing they had Goldust as a pro.

[Xero]

so black cena = evil cena? LOL

Neither can grown facial hair.

[Skippord]

easily the gayest wrestlemania song ever

[blak23]

so black cena = evil cena? LOL

fucked up

[Jeritron]

I made it. I made it

[Blitz]

Maybe Barrett will blow our mind?

Slater seems bush league.
Otunga is impressive but sloppy. Monty Brown 2.0
Young is like what the fuck.
The other guy is kind of meh.
You're judging Young and Otunga based on one match that I don't think went 2 minutes?

[Favre4Ever]

LOL so wishing they had Goldust as a pro.

haha I'm surprised Finley isn't one.

[Jeritron]

So this is getting 15 minutes? Damn.

[legendkillerRKO]

miz replaced jericho...and now jericho is fighting miz's rookie? will there be an awkward miz jericho altercation?

[Splaya]

Think about it. Punk's rookie was like the "Party boy" of the South. Punk is so disgusted with him that he just wants this all to be over, when in all actuality, he will save his rookie and have him join the SES

[Xero]

We're about to see something special with this much time left.

[Blitz]

Wait are Punk and Danielson getting like 15 minutes, or is Barret wrestling?

[Jeritron]

lol at this guy's cape. Wearing a cape takes balls. It could work out for him

[Nark Order]

Why am I even here? Who's Darren Young?

[KIRA]

looks like Jericho and Barret could be the BFFs of this show

[Xero]

Wait are Punk and Danielson getting like 15 minutes, or is Barret wrestling?

Jericho/Danielson.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It's Jericho/Danielson.

[Droford]

The interwebs are about to explode

[Splaya]

easily the gayest wrestlemania song ever

2nd gayest. the gayest would actually be that theme from I think it was Wrestlemania 2000 and would later become Linda McMahon's theme song

[Skippord]

I like this Barret guy

[Anybody Thrilla]

Actually, it's Jericho/Bryan.

[Vastardikai]

You're judging Young and Otunga based on one match that I don't think went 2 minutes?

I'm not so much "judging" as I am offering my first impression. The lift was sloppy as fuck. I am saying what the fuck based off of the whole look. It's not necessarily a bad thing. He'd be a good low card comedy face perhaps.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like this Barret guy

All he has done is wear a coat to the ring with a look on his face like he has to fart.

Having said that, I like him too.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wait are Punk and Danielson getting like 15 minutes, or is Barret wrestling?

Nah, it's Jericho vs. Danielson. Also, LMAO @ the white rose or whatever that Barrett had on his jacket. Kinda looks like he could be billed as like the "forgotten" (i.e., never-used) member of the F.B.I. or something.

[RatedGSuperstar]

So I'm guessing we won't get to see the guy that was described as a cross between Adam Lambert and Johnny Damon tonight?

Edit: There we go...next week.

[Jeritron]

Wearing a cape is a high risk venture. I mean, very few can pull if off well. If not done right, you can crash and burn.

But look at those who have succeeded. Batman, Dracula, Lando Calrissian. I admire this guy's balls thus far, but I worry about him.

[Blitz]

I'm not so much "judging" as I am offering my first impression. The lift was sloppy as fuck. I am saying what the fuck based off of the whole look. It's not necessarily a bad thing. He'd be a good low card comedy face perhaps.
I would say it was more Young's fault than Otunga.

[Skippord]

Barrett is going to prom after this

[McLegend]

OMG two Internet hero's wrestling each other.

The World is going to explode.

[Droford]

Is that DJ Gabriel with a makeover?

[legendkillerRKO]

lol @ hardy mentoring an african american!

[blak23]

im actually interested in seeing gabriel

[Blitz]

Actually really like Barret's look.

[Xero]

He has a stuffy nose I suppose.

[Nark Order]

HOLY SHIT @ this guy's manly voice.

[KIRA]

WHOA!

[Splaya]

God that title looks fucking heavenly around Jericho's waist

[Skippord]

Mushmouth

[Loose Cannon]

Wade Barrett is going places. bet

[legendkillerRKO]

needs to get the balls out of his throat

[Blitz]

Think Barret and Jericho are gonna work well together.

[blak23]

i like barret

[Jeritron]

I got my hopes up about them getting so much time. It was too good to be true though. It doesn't make sense that they'd allow Danielson to take the world champion to 15 minutes in his first ever match. I mean, lets be realistic. He has to pay some dues

[screech]

All he has done is wear a coat to the ring with a look on his face like he has to fart.

Having said that, I like him too.

:lol:

[Triple Naitch]

#1 Foigh-a

[RatedGSuperstar]

LOL...Danielson bumping Miz out of the way for his intro.

[McLegend]

Woah Wade Barret has an actual gimmick.

[Droford]

Lets make up our minds.

aberdeen washington or Las Vegas

[legendkillerRKO]

where is the big show to settle the miz jericho "im the big shows friend" catfight!!!??

[Jeritron]

still pumped about this match

[Splaya]

See, did you see that. Miz was walking out and Danielson bumped him out of the way and ran out in front of him.

GOD I LOVE THIS

[James Diesel]

Still booked from WA. Home state respect:y:

[McLegend]

God damn another commerical

[Cool King]

Everyone in the chat on the stream I'm watching are all bitching about not being able to understand what Barret is saying. :|

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wow, these commercials are fucking ridiculous. Is WWE hurting for money or something?</font>

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I already like Barret.

And I loved Bryan knocking Miz out of the way in his entrance.

I fully expect Miz to set up a Danielson vs Big Show match in the next few weeks.

[Jeritron]

Next week, Cheech and Chong guest host RAW as Team Legacy goes UP IN SMOKE!

[Droford]

I dont see how Cheech and Chong are going to work.

[Innovator]

Damn blue balls

[legendkillerRKO]

:wtf:Next week, Cheech and Chong guest host RAW as Team Legacy goes UP IN SMOKE!

[Loose Cannon]

Team Legacy EXPLODES

[RGWhat316]

So Jericho has Brutus Magnus that he is mentoring?

[Droford]

Team Legacy EXPLODES

more like Implodes

[legendkillerRKO]

lol @ farewell to bret!

[Jeritron]

They are stupid characters who spout lame catchphrases like a third rate Bill & Ted, or Cheech & Chong.

They're fucking clown shoes.


Fuck Jay and Silent Bob. Fuck them up their stupid asses.

[Vastardikai]

Barret is a decent talker with a great voice. If nothing else, he could be a ring announcer or a commentator.

[RatedGSuperstar]

The stream I'm watching just had an ad for Colt Cabana's stand up act in Baltimore. Heh.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I'm guessing legendkillerRKO has never seen Up In Smoke, or any Cheech & Chong film. For shame. :n:

[Blitz]

Fucking stream is chugging like Mike Stima on a Saturday night :rant:

[Jeritron]

I, for one, am boycotting this movie.


*everyone join's Spartacus' boycott

[Jeritron]

He calls himself MagnoliaFan

[Emperor Smeat]

Wearing a cape is a high risk venture. I mean, very few can pull if off well. If not done right, you can crash and burn.

But look at those who have succeeded. Batman, Dracula, Lando Calrissian. I admire this guy's balls thus far, but I worry about him.

It worked for Darth Vader wearing a cape and being a bad guy. Then again Darth Vader was also the "rookie" for the Emperor.

If Jericho came out with a cape/emperor's robe it probably would look awesome.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Christ, the past ten minutes have been commercials.

[James Diesel]

According to this commercial, Mick Foley and Colt Cabana are at a Baltimore Comedy Club....hmm

[Jeritron]

Cold-Spot Hunters is what it should be called

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Come the fuck on enough with the Raw/WM packages. GIVE US WRESTLING</font>

[legendkillerRKO]

I'm guessing legendkillerRKO has never seen Up In Smoke, or any Cheech & Chong film. For shame. :n:

no i have lol

[Londoner]

Just started watching this online, just in time for the maaaaaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnnn event i see!

[RatedGSuperstar]

Jericho: "Do you know who I am??" :lol:

[Jeritron]

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

[thecc]

Jericho doesn't respect the code of honor

[jerichoholicninja]

Is Colin Mockerie reffing this match?

[Droford]

I love how they're taking shots at the internet early and often on this

[Jeritron]

he breaks codes

[Cool King]

Barrett hasn't been on TV for 15 minutes and he's already holding the World Heavyweight Championship. :shifty:

[Blitz]

lol at them acknowledging Cole hate.

[Loose Cannon]

is the hand shake always part of his thing?

[RatedGSuperstar]

Cole: I never heard of him before NXT.
Matthews: You've never heard of a lot of things.

[Skippord]

lol Michael Cole is being such a little bitch

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LOL mid-match interview</font>

[Blitz]

lol interview mid match.

[legendkillerRKO]

interview during match...wtf!!

[KIRA]

lol @ cole being a heelish little bitch commentator

[Londoner]

'JERICHO IS QUALITY' Daaaammmnn right!

[Londoner]

I like that mid match interview thing, good idea.

[Nark Order]

Wade Barret is looking great in the charisma dept.

[Blitz]

Jericho botching a Dragon Screw?

[Skippord]

Michael Cole is having some sort of panic attack here

[Jeritron]

lol at Cole vs the internet

[legendkillerRKO]

lol at cole bein a mark

[Droford]

I like Wade Barrett. Picking him to win.

[Nark Order]

LOL @ Cole burying Danielson

[Jeritron]

lol the dirtsheets. I'm loving this

[RatedGSuperstar]

LOL...Cole's on a tirade right now.

I keep waiting for "LISTEN, FUCKFACE!"

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This Cole commentary is making me uncomfortable. It's like they basically told Cole to shit all over the IWC.</font> :lol:

[Xero]

Michael Cole is having some sort of panic attack here

lol

[Blitz]

lol what is this Cole internet hatred gimmick?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Cole.

Could this be the start of Cole becoming a heel or he really is this dumb?

[Splaya]

Whoa, I never thought I would say this.

I love the way Michael Cole is treating Danielson

[Skippord]

HE'S NEVER BEEN ON TELEVISION BEFORE!!!!!!!!!

[James Diesel]

Why is Cole being a fucking dick?

[Blitz]

Oooooohhhhhhhh fuck that looked painful.

[dronepool]

THAT was nice.

[Droford]

ouch

[Nark Order]

ouch

[jerichoholicninja]

think jericho botched that a little.

[Splaya]

Sick spot on the announce table

[legendkillerRKO]

HE'S NEVER BEEN ON TELEVISION BEFORE!!!!!!!!!

cole doesnt get hd net!

[Jeritron]

Wow this is great

[dronepool]

damn

[Loose Cannon]

wow, cool move.

Cole is being awesome right now. I dunno what is going on here

[Innovator]

LIONTAMER!

[legendkillerRKO]

the real walls!

[Londoner]

HE TAPPED!!!!!!!

[Blitz]

Proper Walls!

[Jeritron]

LIONTAMER

[Loose Cannon]

old school LINO TAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Xero]

LIONTAMER!

[Nark Order]

YES. The ACTUAL Walls of Jericho.

[Loose Cannon]

YES LINO

[Poit]

Liontamer!

[Blitz]

Excellent match for what it was. Made Bryan look like a million bucks.

[Skippord]

Liontamer

[Londoner]

bah gawd what is goin on here

[Nark Order]

LOL @ MIZ

[Splaya]

YES CLASSIC WALLS OF JERICHO


Smackdown > NXT > Raw replay on Universal HD on Saturday nights > RAW on Monday nights

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Even though this is a "competition" I thought I had read that everybody winds up on the main roster. Certainly, it's looking like more than one guy should end up on the main show, at least.</font>

[Loose Cannon]

I bet Danielson told Jericho he wanted to take the Linotamer the proper way

[Jeritron]

I get the feeling we may get a Miz/Daniel match as early as Wrestlemania

[SOCCER LEGS]

i think i figured it out.... NXT was created for all the internet marks and "smart" fans

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Really love Matthews being the advocate of the dirt sheets while Cole is being the voice of WWE.

[Xero]

Why is Cole being a fucking dick?

During the Danielson match is the best place to do it.

[Favre4Ever]

that was a wicked move Danielson snapped on him.

[Xero]

Danielson looked awesome here.

[McLegend]

You can't go wrong with the Lion tamer. Good stuff here.

Cole has never been better btw.

[Nark Order]

What in the hell is going on here? Is Cole heel on NXT?

[jerichoholicninja]

everyone was on top of their game tonight. styker, miz, danielson, jericho, matthews and what about cole!

[Loose Cannon]

woah, Striker sounded like Joey Styles there

[Xero]

They should have had Punk come into the shot and stare at Young's hair.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Fantastic show, I thought. Can't wait for next week.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I really dig how well Matthews is doing but I can't help but think of how much better Joey Styles/Michael Cole would be...

[Skippord]

did Daniel Bryan fuck Cole's wife or something

[Droford]

nxt post wrestlemania-esque recap video!

[screech]

Excellent match for what it was. Made Bryan look like a million bucks.

:y:

[Blitz]

Really good show. Definitely gonna follow this. How long is the "season", anyways?

[Loose Cannon]

Miz and Show vs Danielson and Morrisin for the Titles at Mania :yes:

[KIRA]

WWE executives: Okay Cole the IWC hates you

Cole:They do?

WWE executives: oh yea they make fun of you constantly and insist that you are a glass closet homosexual

Cole: I'll show them!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I love NXT</font>

[What Would Kevin Do?]

IWC hates Cole, so Cole hates Danielson.

[Cool King]

I've never heard Cole shit all over someone like he did with Danielson.

[dronepool]

Daniel's going to be pretty successful in the near future, hopefully.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Also, would like to point out the 1 hour NXT show did more in ratings than Raw.

[Londoner]

Interesting to see the flashback of what happened, i'll give it a go when its on tv here for sure. Promising start.

[Xero]

Really good show. Definitely gonna follow this. How long is the "season", anyways?

16 weeks I think.

[Vastardikai]

That's the direction Cole needs to go seriously.

Danielson's in ring charisma > Danielson's mic skills. Holy fuck on that back first slam into the announce table. And the Heel Hook was a thing of beauty.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Assuming they don't do some sort of tournament with the rookies, I could see them holding off on Danielson vs Miz until the end of the season.

[Indifferent Clox]

WOW WOW OMG WOW

[Nark Order]

I think the break out star of NXT tonight was Michael Cole.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

This was the absolutely perfect pairing. Miz and Bryan was perfect..

[Jeritron]

lol wtf is this shit on SyFy right now

[Splaya]

We took this thread to more posts than the RAW thread?

[Londoner]

16 weeks I think.

That's abit short!!

[DarKCentaur]

16 weeks I think.

Yeah, I heard 16 weeks, but they're planning on doing 3 seasons a year.

[Emperor Smeat]

Also, would like to point out the 1 hour NXT show did more in ratings than Raw.

It also did longer for a thread than yesterday's RAW as well.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

It also did longer for a thread than yesterday's RAW as well.

That's actually what I meant :o

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Punk/Goku
Miz/Daniel

Fucking love it.

[RGWhat316]

That was a solid show, with a great main event. Hard to believe the NXT is almost getting talked about more than RAW, SD, and ppv's combined. Cole was pretty funny, and definitely anti-IWC. And Danielson looked great out there. I have high hopes for this show now.

[Londoner]

I also enjoyed the camera angles, dunno what everyone was bitching about them for.

[McLegend]

Punk/Goku
Miz/Daniels

Fucking love it.

Wait what is that his indy name? Or did you fuck up?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Nah, he just looks like Goku to me. That's all.

[McLegend]

Nah, he just looks like Goku to me. That's all.

Fair enough

I was hoping for a fuck up though.
