I definitely hope they pair Danielson with Michaels, as it would go a long way in getting him crazy over. I don't think that's entirely realistic, but I can hope.
Sounds interesting, to say the least. Hopefully this isn't another idea that sounds good but is lacking in execution. |

Got this from a local page...
The following pairings for the WWE NXT show were announced on the final ECW on SyFy show this evening… * Chris Jericho will be mentoring Wade Barrett * Matt Hardy will be mentoring Justin Gabriel * MVP will be mentoring Skip Sheffield * Carlito will be mentoring Michael Tarver * The Miz will be mentoring Daniel Bryan * Christian will be mentoring Heath Slater * CM Punk will be mentoring Darren Young * R-Truth will be mentoring David Otunga As previously reported, the show will feature teams of eight (4 rookies and 4 coaches per team) and be split by who are the heels and who are the faces. So the teams would be… FACE TEAM: * Matt Hardy * Justin Gabriel * MVP * Skip Sheffield * Christian * Heath Slater * R-Truth * David Otunga HEEL TEAM: * Chris Jericho * Wade Barrett * Carlito * Michael Tarver * The Miz * Daniel Bryan * CM Punk * Darren Young |

Said this in the ECW thread.........but I definitely think out of the guys listed, Bryan/Miz is likely to be the most contentious mentor/teacher relationship. I can definitely see it being used as a springboard for Bryan to enter right into a feud with The Miz when the NXT season ends

I don't know, I've heard they're actually going to try to use Bryan as a heel. At least if he's heel, we should get his "I've got til 5 referee."
Also, I really hope at some point on NXT, Miz says "I'm awesome" only for Bryan to say "I'm better." |

Never heard of any of those guys, but if you guys say they're good, I'll take the word for it.
How does this mentoring thing work? |

So far, I really like the concept of the show. I wish Kaval was involved, and I don't like that Brett DiBiase isn't in there, either. But whatever. I'm sure both guys will find it onto the roster. Wade Barrett with Chris Jericho is interesting. I wonder if they will get along, and if this will be a massive mid-card heel push for Barrett (who I actually know nothing about). Maybe Wade and Jericho will clash, and Barrett could earn some fans by turning on Jericho, or something? Darren Young/CM Punk and Heath Slater/Christian interest me, too. "Christian-Slater" as a future face alliance? |

David Otunga will be a star, by the way. I say that without even seeing him in the ring. Being black and married to Jennifer Hudson will carry him a long way.

I'm intrigued by this concept. And that is something that I've not been able to say about WWE programing for a while.

He does look like he has a better look than some of the other guys on the show, though, so it's entirely possible that they do push him to the moon. I just don't know how well he works. |

I don't know how well he works, either. He sounds like he has a love for the business, though. He's genuinely a smart guy, and if he's banging Hudson, he must have some sort of charm or charisma about him.
It'll be cool to see an African-American wrestler in the WWE without a "street" gimmick. Right now, I think Shelton Benjamin and Mark Henry may be the only two. |

This might be a dumb question but will NXT have matches ? I dont remember if tough eneough had matches or if it was just training for moves.

Tough Enough didn't have matches, but I think that this NXT show will. It may only be one or two, though.

Miz: This is how you do a hammerlock...
(demonstrates a hammerlock on some jobber.) Bryan: Seriously? Miz: You think you can do better? (Bryan does some complex chain wrestling, ending with Cattle Mutilation) Miz: Hold on a minute. (Miz gets on the phone.) Miz: Hello, Vince. I think there needs to be a change of plans. Can Bryan mentor ME? Last edited by Vastardikai; 02-17-2010 at 02:59 PM. |

from PWInsider
The cast of WWE NXT, as announced officially during the final ECW on SyFy: *Chris Jericho mentoring Wade Barrett. *Matt Hardy mentoring Justin Gabriel. *MVP mentoring Skip Sheffield. *Carlito mentoring Michael Tarver. *Miz mentoring Daniel Bryan (aka Bryan Danielson) - No, really. *Christian mentoring Heath Slater. *CM Punk mentoring Darren Young. *R-Truth mentoring David Otunga. ------ Pretty much everyone's thoughts |

Someone mentioned on another site that Darren Young is one of the guys Punk shaved recently. True?
It did seem that in the graphic of him (Young) the hair and headband were digitally added. |

Ugh... so this will be a scripted wrestling reality show? Just for the record, I hate every single reality show there so if that's the case, I'll give it a chance but I'm willing to bet that if there's no wrestling and just bullshit training with drama-rama- I'd rather watch the news than NXT.

I'm open minded about most things, but not about reality shows. I can't stand them. I watch TV for entertainment to escape from reality, why watch stuff I'm not interested in on TV? Like I said, I'll give it a shot- but If it's anything like most reality TV- I will hate it.
What's it going to have? Segments of WWE guys encouraging the new guys to train hard if they want to get in their place in the future? And then have segments of the new guys talking all emotional about how they want to make it? I don't see that as entertainment at all. Not to me, anyway.

In a perfect world, the Miz/Danielson pairing is going to show signs of tearing apart during the show, due to Miz's ego and Danielson wanting nothing to do with it. Then, after weeks of tension, Danielson graduates from the show, and he chooses to be on the RAW brand to take the Miz's championship and shut him up. He eventually does and the "American Dragon" nickname can make a bit more sense with the US title and maybe get him a nice t-shirt.
Ok, I'll wake up now. |

It's the same thing as Tough Enough really, except there's no real "competition", and the "contestants" aren't complete rookies.

I'm bummed that Kaval, DiBiase, and Hennig didn't make the first roster but you can't put all your best guys in the first season. I'm guessing they're saving them for season 2 so we don't have to deal with a bunch of scrubs the next go-around.

Outside of Henning and DiBiase missing, I was a little meh to the idea of verbally stating their personality types. I think it would have been better suited to actually take the time for the kids to show what type of character they are, rather than tell us up front. But either way, i admit I'm a little excited for this. |
