I really enjoy Johnny Curtis. Right from the start, he's been my favourite NXT rookie, so I'm not really going to critique the guy. I think he's by far the best worker in this competition, and he's not bad on the mic. His charisma is quieter than that of Bateman's, but we're in an era of scripted promos. Curtis will thrive just fine in the WWE.
Also, keep in mind that this is the WWE -- shit is staged here. Derrick Bateman is going to get over based on being a pure force of entertainment. Brodus Clay is going to get over by being a bad-ass enforcer for Alberto Del Rio. Johnny Curtis is going to need the most help, so the NXT 4 win going to him helps him greatly.
I can't see the WWE derailing the The Corre's momentum anymore, so I don't see Truth & Curtis as Tag Champs, but I could see Curtis turning on Truth because "he wasn't there for him, and doesn't deserve to benefit with Curtis." Perhaps JC could even end up as a fifth member of The Corre on SmackDown!? Weirder shit has happened.
