The new NXT Class

Honestly, after seeing some of the matches on the internet, I'm very impressed with this list of people. Very diverse in the effort to become a true global brand. The resumes of these people are stellar.

Not sure of this new diva debuting. Seems like Vince would be high on cause of his love of bodybuilding.

Uhaa coming in is cool. Magno has been on TNA a few times.

Sesugh Uhaa (formerly knownn as Uhaa Nation)
* Jessica McKay
* Cassie McIntosh
* Nhooph Al-Areebi
* Axel Tischer
* Oscar Vasquez ( formerly known as Magno)
* Radomir Petkovic
* Peter Howard
* Kenneth Crawford
* Thomas Kingdon
* Levis Valenzuela Jr.

I don't know anyone outside of Uhaa.

NXT needs to do NXT World Takeover where they have some kind of world cup thing

That's kind of TNA's thing. What WWE is doing is really good. Have Trips recruit for NXT and reveal a recruiting class every year to try out.

I have high hopes for Cassie, trained by Lance Storm you know she's good in the ring.... give Emma someone to either feud/partner with in NXT.....

Once again NXT is putting the divas on blast. These rookies have some talent. AND on top of that, they are marketable.

But then again, they are doing the diva search, I swear, if ANY of the current NXT divas end up on the diva search, I will be royally pissed off.

Seen Levis Valenzuela Jr a few times, he wrestled at the shows I go see locally, can not wait to see how he does up there

I've been saying the WWE should give KC Cassidy (Cassie McIntosh) and Jessie McKay a look for a while now. It's been years on Jessie's end. Cassidy is fucking gorgeous, and McKay is one of those girls who has that "girl next door" kind of vibe. I can see her playing quite a good bitch-heel too. Odd to think there are three Aussie girls in the WWE at the moment. A stable around Emma where KC is groomed to be the break-away babyface could be pretty cool. I had no clue Jessie had been signed, to be honest.

I hope they do a better job than what they did with Dana Brooke.

That was brutal. Almost like Goldberg William Regal.

Dana was whoring it up like Aksana used to. It seems out of place on NXT, but I guess that helps her stand out. It was her first time out there, so I'll give her time to really strike that right chord.
