Jason Bateman and Johnny Curtis are a new era for WWE, total cheese, totally hilarious.

Tyler Rekks and Curt Hawkins vs The Uso's on the latest episode was really good. Rekks and Curt are money, so are the Uso's. (I know their not technically part of NXT but whatever)

I agree with Regal that Trent Baretta is one to watch for sure, his offense is great.

Percy Watson has "it" in the making. I wish he'd just use the Heisman as his finish, it has great creditably to me, looks like it hurts.

Heath Slater really needs a hair cut and a more serious gimmick and I think he'd get over well. He's great in the ring.

I don't even mind Titus O'Neil's cheesy promo style, it's wrestling after all and he is coherent and kinda talented. They kept him around for a reason and I see it. He is good in the ring, but I don't like his finisher. His in ring style is so stiff and realistic looking, so obviously I like that. Maybe that's just him being green i'm not sure but i'm watching.

Overall NXT is a very refreshing show that really is showcasing some good wrestling, and it's interesting to see a crowd not give a shit at the top of the show and get into the love angle with Johnny and Derek and Maxine, or fall for Percy Watson, or bite into Titus, and especially how the Uso's and Rekk's/Hawkins got them worked so loud in their match this week.

Watch NXT if you don't it's very refreshing.

Never realized how much they shit on Brodus during Season 4. He's actually trying to win a fucking competition and Dibiase/Maryse are just constantly fucking around. Cole even tried to help him out and he still got fucked over. And then like every show it was Brodus watching Dibiase have a match. So far I've seen three Brodus matches and there's only 4 guys left

I haven't been watching NXT in ages. S&G's (well, more like a missed click from catching up on the last couple of weeks of wrestling) made me watch this.

One thing stuck in my head, though:



minus



=


(This is Sticky Fingaz, for suckas who don't know.)

I, for one, think they should capitalize on this. He can come out to "SLAM" and wear a "BACKDAFUCUP!" t-shirt. PG and modern-day relevance be damned!

Oh, I get it. They shit on Brodus so that he could switch to ADR. Shows how much I cared about NXT. Can't wait till it gets out of control and the points are completely useless

Percy needs the "Showtime" gimmick back. He was great during Season 4, he's nowhere near as entertaining now.

I like that they are making reference to being "stuck on NXT" and seemingly making an angle of getting to the Big Leagues.

With that in mind, I'm hoping that the "agreement" between Maxine, Bateman and Curtis is that, despite their differences, they will team up in an effort to escape NXT.

I'd call bullshit if they just ignored the fact that Curtis fucked up the "marriage plans" and just saw the whole thing as water under the bridge.

Think of the "Bigger Picture" (not Nexus' Bigger Picture mind you), Jimmy.

They set aside their issues to help each other get to the promise lands of SmackDown (where they will be seen by approximately 200 more people) and it gives WWE another tag team to "use".

And watching season 4, I'm coming down on my hatred of Bateman. When he's being heel-ish or in a serious storyline he's just annoying and out of place but laid back and playful Bateman is alright. I'm afraid this is the only environment where he could work out though.

Johnny Curtis on the other hand is all around amazing.

I have no clue why they turned Bateman heel. He is actually really terrible in the role.

Also, I'm not a fan of Titus O'Neil. I just cannot get into him. Percy Watson has shown moments of brilliance, but other times he is just "there." Also, I really hate how NXT is out of control. It makes no sense and it really bothers me. I miss the old competition format.

I loved Bateman during season 4. I feel he was cheated out of the win. And he helped Bryan show a little character. However as we come to a close on Season 4 let's see how well Brodus and Johnny run this finale.

I guess the longer this shit drags out, though, the more of a splash of fresh water it'll be when one of the contestants goes onto NXT Season 6 with a choice of their own Pro against a sea of fresh faces and established WWE Superstars.

Curtis was always my pick for winner. He was, in my opinion, the best all-round competitor in the season (second would have been Byron Saxton, in my opinion), and he would have gotten a lot from a proper victory. But then they decided to randomly push R-Truth and dropped the idea of him and Curtis teaming.

Is it just me or does WWE speed up the episodes of NXT on YouTube? I noticed during some parts that every sounds like it's coming at you way too fast.

I think the older seasons were a little short while obviously this one is too long. As long as it stays in competition mode, I would love 6 month seasons with the competition part just stretched out and the eliminations going every couple weeks over the last half. Maybe have a divas edition every few seasons.

The seasons going by too quick means too many winners getting put on the main brand and there was a danger of that becoming a problem until the season that never ends came along.

Yea I prefer competition style, especially since it exposed to several new faces that we need to see. I just hope this bullshit that's going on now gets figured out cause even the insiders have no idea what the fuck's going on anymore

I liked the competition aspect, just not the competitions. Some of them were soooooooo cringe-worthy.

I also couldn't understand how/why Curtis won Season 4 but his vignettes before his SmackDown debut sold me on him. The fact that he lost in a squash match to Mark Henry after weeks of build up still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

That last video I posted should give you an idea of why Curtis won. The guy is likable, fun to watch, he's got a good look and he doesn't seem to be the slightest bit nervous.

And now he's doing a 180 by being horribly creepy and being amazing at that too. He's money.

Curtis is all-round good. He just hasn't stood out yet. Personally, I would not mind it if the dude aligned himself with The Miz and helped him deal with R-Truth -- given that Truth bailed on his partnership with Curtis. Johnny could be a great mid-card heel on RAW.

As long as it stays in competition mode, I would love 6 month seasons with the competition part just stretched out and the eliminations going every couple weeks over the last half. Maybe have a divas edition every few seasons.

The seasons going by too quick means too many winners getting put on the main brand and there was a danger of that becoming a problem until the season that never ends came along.
The Divas season was pretty terrible, and that's because none of the girls had any real talent or ability to carry a show. It really upset NXT's flow, in my opinion. NXT has used hot women successfully in the past -- from ring announcers to co-hosts and girls hanging out with the Pros they are aligned with.

You could have a competition where the winner receives his own valet to help him stand out. Sort of like how Wade Barrett was meant to get entrance music in season one, but they just sort of dropped it. Instead of giving away "immunity points," perhaps have one competition for immunity, other competitions to get you some new ring music, your own spots on RAW and SmackDown! (which has been done before) and all that. So essentially, even during the course of the show, the rookies become Superstars before your eyes.

Also, when a guy is eliminated, there's the possibility that you don't need to kick them entirely off the show. They could stick around and just no longer be eligible for the grand prize, which is a title shot of your choosing. So, for example, Titus O'Neil could have been eliminated in season two first up, but instead of just disappearing, O'Neil could have stuck around with Zack Ryder, who would claim that the WWE Universe made a mistake. But O'Neil takes issue with Ryder's antics eventually (Ryder was a heel doing nothing at the time), and beats him on NXT to establish him in people's minds.

I mean, the idea is that a lot of the rookies end up on main television after the show, right? You might as well keep them around. In addition to Matt Striker as host, you could have Santino Marella on the show as some sort of "scout" for SmackDown!, and Mick Foley doing some scouting for RAW.

If you did have enough female talent to bring onto the show -- you could have different "divisions" so to speak. Perhaps even one for tag teams. You'd only have maybe four women, in addition to the eight men and maybe four teams; but you could split time between them and such. But that could become just as chaotic as it is now.

But basically, I think Triple H, John Laurinaitis or Matt Striker really needs to (kayfabe) step-in and clean NXT up. The active competitors (Bateman, O'Neil and Young) are put into a final round, and the winner (let's go with Derrick Bateman) goes on to the sixth season with their choice of Pro (let's go with Daniel Bryan -- who wants nothing to do with Bateman).

If the WWE was actually against doing that, and they want the traditional sort of WWE show, then I'd still go with a reset, except I'd have everyone cleared off except Matt Striker, Josh Mathews and William Regal. NXT becomes its own WWE brand, with an entirely fresh roster of guys.

* Abraham Washington
* Andy Leavine
* Antonio Cesaro
* Big E. Langston
* Bo Rotundo
* Calvin Raines
* Comacho (who hasn't technically made an in-ring debut just yet)
* Damien Sandow
* Dean Ambrose
* Eli Cottonwood with a new masked gimmick (so he's essentially a new character)
* Kenneth Cameron
* Leakee
* Leo Kruger
* Mike Dalton
* Peter Orlov
* Ricardo Rodriguez (officially entering the WWE as a competitor, as well as Alberto Del Rio's personal ring announcer)
* Richie Steamboat
* Rick Victor
* Seth Rollins
* Xavier Woods

There's twenty male competitors -- enough for over two serious seasons of NXT. But essentially you just have them on a brand, run by Matt Striker "teaching" them how to be WWE Superstars. Occasionally, you can have visiting Superstars come in, like Primo & Epico, for example. They can compete for an NXT Championship, which is simply a marker used to determine who is the best in the brand, which will obviously give them attention from the RAW and SmackDown! General Managers. They can even run angles where a Dean Ambrose threatens to leave NXT with its championship, ala CM Punk when he signed with the WWE and did the original "Summer of Punk" angle. Eventually, if there are enough teams formed, you could have the NXT Tag Team Championship introduced.

Throw in some Divas:

* Caylee Fox
* Juliet Cortez
* Saraya Knight
* Shaul Guerrero

Now, I think that concept could work. It'd need to be promoted by the WWE well, and it is essentially FCW on WWE TV, but it could serve a great stepping stone for getting people invested in new talent. I guess you could have your Derrick Batemans and Usos back -- but if that's the case, then I'd like them to become "NXT exclusive," until they graduate and then join RAW or SmackDown! permanently.

Well we saw what happened to the last NXT guy to help Miz. He ends up back on NXT. The only upgrade is he'd get to dance with (and be squashed by) the guy he beat to win NXT.

Forgot about Season 2 for some reason. Going back and watching it before I continue on with Season 5. Striker was fucking on one prior to the newer seasons.

lol. I'll take "He hasn't stood out yet" as "He is stuck on NXT"

Because that's really the only problem. He stands out on NXT like a motherfucker. But it's NXT... not like you're gonna become a household name there even if you're a million times more unique that everyone else.

I didn't really notice. He's ridiculously good at his job though. Even if he does tend to lose patience with the rookies on occasion.

I dunno. I don't even think he stood out in NXT. Still, I think he was the all-round best. NXT stand-outs, in my opinion:

* Daniel Bryan
* Wade Barrett
* Alex Riley
* Percy Watson
* Kaval
* Kaitlyn
* AJ
* Byron Saxton
* Brodus Clay
* Derrick Bateman

Johnny Curtis is in that Justin Gabriel sort of zone -- where he is obviously very good, but it's just not entirely going for him.

Haha, back on Season 2 they debut Ashley the ring announcer. The first match: Tag match. Alex Riley/Miz vs. MVP/Percy Watson. Apparently Riley and Miz make a combined weight of 244lbs. while MVP and Showtime make a combined weight of 248lbs.

Great start, princess

He's definitely a work in progress, but he does have the potential to be an annoying heel. That stupid guitar thing he did after drop kicking Clay in his match was hilarious.

Watching Kidd v Barreta on NXT this week I considered whether they could benefit from changing the format to an all Cruiserweight League with it's own title. How would people feel about that?

It's honestly the only show I watch every week due to the time and day it's on. I wouldn't mind all Cruiserweight, although I kinda like it the way it is.
