NXT Thread for 3/30/10
 

Who'll be watching tonight? I'm looking forward to seeing how the voting works. I wonder if the writers have even figured it out yet. :)

an actual thread this week! yeah

I was a little reluctant to start it and wasn't sure how it'd go over, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

I think last week got jobbed because it was more or less a WM Hype show and it was taped the night before.

Tonight is the biggest night in the history of NXT!

To those who would rank Daniel Bryan Danielson miles and miles ahead of his NXT competition: Would you still rank him so highly if all you knew of him was what he's done in the WWE?

this is actually the first i've ever seen him, and i already think that based on his first match with jericho

You? Reluctant to start a thread?

Although I haven't seen any of his pre-NXT matches, I don't doubt for a second that Daniel Bryan Danielson is an incredibly gifted athlete. I know a lot of you are strongly behind him, and I'm sure there's a good reason for that. I actually hope he does very well in the "competition," and that he gets the push so many people are saying he deserves.

All I'm saying about him is that so far, based only on what he's been allowed to show us on NXT, he doesn't seem to be the standout on the show and doesn't seem leaps and bounds ahead of the other "rookies" at all. Again, I'm not doubting he has incredible talent, and I'm sure there's a lot more to him than what we've seen on NXT, but I mean right now he seems like a guy with an ordinary body and bland mannerisms who doesn't have any offense we haven't seen before.

There's a group of guys on the show who have great potential - Justin Gabriel, Wade Barrett, Bryan, David Otunga and even Skip Sheffield are in that list. I'm just wondering how many of you would still be high on Daniel Bryan Danielson if all of you knew of him was NXT.

I dunno man, he's done some crazy shit, remember that guilliotine to an arm bar thingy?

But the other guys have been impressive too, and some of them seem to have more personality. I just don't see how, based only on what he's been allowed to do on NXT, people can think Brian is better than anyone else.

Pumped for this as always

I can see your point. But am entirely to biased to agree with it in anyway

i actually like what they are doing with daniel bryan he's over without winning a match no way he is eliminated. David Otunga and Justin Gabriel seem to be good too. everyone else isnt really getting it done in my opinion

Daniel Bryan will be the next underdog champion

Suppose you never saw anything he did before NXT (as I haven't).
Would you look at what Daniel Brian Danielson has done so far on the show and still think, "he's the best one in this competition"? That's the point I'm trying to make. He doesn't standout on the show (yet).

I still hate Heath Slater. Damn King Slender-looking jerk.

Is anyone actually going to be eliminated tonight?

<font color=goldenrod>It sounds like nobody gets eliminated in this contest...my guess is the Pros just vote (I'm assuming ranking everybody from 1-8) and then a score is added up over time.</font>

wondering the same thing

Hopefully someone'll cap Michael Cole's ass.

I see what you're getting at Providence Peep, but there's a chance Bryan's being made to 'turn it down' a tad until his real push starts rolling.

I love NXT, by the way.

They've said nothing about what the vote will mean.

So is someone going home?

there should have been a quick NXT battle royal at WM

Darren Young is intriguing. I just don't understand where the fuck he's supposed to be coming from. I like him, though.

i think the opposite he stands out at least to me more because he is the only guy that actually has a storyline that develops and will build to something

Disagree. In kayfabe terms, guys who haven't even proven that they belong in WWE definitely don't deserve a spot on Wrestlemania.

"This is the most important night in the history of <s>our sport</s> NXT!" lol

Heath Slater just said he was 4-0, but his graphic said 3-1.

Tarver with the counterfeit wwe merchandise!

Does Otunga have headphones in? :lol:

Darren Young is last! oh no

How could Tarver be ranked above anyone?

john cena lose?

Whaaat? Otunga got screwed.

Look at them in the ring. Daniel Bryan does not look like he stands out.

DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON!

Boo for Barrett #2

YESYeYs

I'm marking out for nothing at all right now, what is going on with this show?
