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

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

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

WE ARE WILD AND YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUNG

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

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

Wade Barrett's gonna go to work on somebody.

Miz/Bryan vs. Truth/Otunga

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

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

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

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

Love this show

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

TRUTH AND OTUNGA ARE ROLLING

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

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

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?

DINOSHARK!

lol dinoshark

Cole cant get the names right! shock

Sonic the Hedgehog fan is not impressed!

what a crappy save

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!

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:

big points for the pool

that was a fun match really

and do these NXT guys do house shows?

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.

:lol: Miz flintched

lol at Daniel punking Miz :D

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

Absolutely fucking hate Heath Slater. Major Xpac heat.

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

Heath Slater is about to blow his mind!

umm

heath might be my least favorite

Are we sure Pat Patterson isn't his mentor?

I actually like Heath Slater.

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..

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

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.

YEAH. This is awesome.

There is so much accent going on in this promo

Carolinan, South African, Canadian, English

Wade Barrett and his ridiculously manly voice.

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.

Captain Charisma is here!

Its like International House of Wrestlers

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

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

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

wtf matt?

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

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

well not ages ago, but he's ready

1.9 on the BADASS SCALE

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

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.

Could Matt have sound any MORE robotic?

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

"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.

Dude looks like a damn bull fighter

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

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.

Slater is going nowhere fast.

I'm actually for Carlito on this one

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

What's the 1.9 for?

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.

Skip Sheffield - nxt wwe champion, hes awesome

Huge Carlitobomb

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.

He can knock you out in less than 2 seconds.

uh..yeah

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.

Nice little match

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.

Yep Yep Yep

lol..not really

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

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

And is he black or white? Seriously...

Evil Cena gets air time.

ROFL Punk

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

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

wooo Justin Angel!

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

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

Johnny Cash :heart:

Slater stole TBK's awesome dance

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

:lol:

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.

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

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

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

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.

LC I fuckin love you

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

Just face it people the miz really is awesome

And seriously... someone... anyone?

Ye shud teabag eachother after NXT guys
