WWE NXT Show Weekly Discussion

        Here's a link for the match, it starts at about the 2 min mark, runs for 7 mins.

 

        The only other match, Riley Vs Cannon, was a total squash, and was more a spot for Miz than the rookies. Lucky said kind words about is absent Pro, Henry, and threw kisses to the audience, then Riley wiped the floor with him in under 2 minutes lol.

        Only other fun spots, were Harris doing the obstacle course they set up as this weeks contest. Also, Kaval getting kissed and hugged by Layla was hilarious. Kaval was pretty funny and animated in his promo spot, and is obviously enjoying himself with Laycool.

1. Hennig

2. Kaval

3. Riley

4. Watson

5. Cannon

6. Harris

7. Cottonwood (eliminated).

 

      The 3 matches this week were Watson vs Ryder, Hennig vs Cottonwood, and Kaval vs Harris.

      Watson vs Ryder was a 'wtf match' as Ryder jobbed out to Watson bigtime. I'm not a fan of Watson, but he'll do ok in WWE i think.

      Hennig vs Cottonwood was pretty good, as the biggest guys in the comp put on a pretty good show i thought. Lots of high impact and power moves and I though Cottonwood did look pretty menacing in this match - which i didnt get from his previous bouts. Hennig win of course, but worth a watch and better than the first match.

      Kaval vs Harris was the most fun of the three matches, cos i like watching both these guys work and like their relationships with their Pros (surprise surprise). Good power display from Harris and Kaval no less awesome than usual. Harris win (but only because Layla and McTaker got injured ringside).

      Yeah, with the vote, I knew it'd be Cottonwood, although I was hoping it'd be Cannon lol. Cottonwood just hasn't had any real presence when on mike or camera - just coming across as a big guy wrestling but nothing for the fans to relate to personality wise. I think WWE will keep him about as a monster replacement and he has the licks to the job if schooled and scripted right. Sure, nothing flashy about his style, but at least he can move about the ring lol.

       Overall best show since the season started i thought.

     

 

1) Michael McGillicutty.

 

2) Kaval.

 

3) Alex Riley.

 

4) Husky Harris.

 

5) Percy Watson.

 

6) Lucky Cannon.

       The kissing competition was train-wreck TV. I couldn't look away it was so politically incorrect but hilarious. The show starts with Lay-Cool getting in the ring with the rookies, and a kissing competition organized. WWE thinks it would be hilarious to get the fattest plainest girl around to be the one getting kissed. Of course all the boys ham up the horror of having to kiss the 'fat chick'. Hennig licked her face - no idea what that was about lol. 10/10 for the woman who got in the ring to do this and carrying the whole thing with good humour despite the fat and ugly jokes.

        The first match between Kaval and Harris was the best of the 4 for me. Impressive show from both these guys, and Harris' speed continues to amaze. Match would have been better if they'd given it another 5 minutes though. The trouble with short matches like this is that the loser always looks weak to get flattened so fast. Harris win but great show from both.

        Hennig v Cannon. It was over before it even got started and Cannon looked like a total jobber to Hennig (who is obviously getting pushed big time in this show). Cannon probably up for elimination next week.  

        Watson v Riley. Umm...Riley won lol. Only noticeable thing about this match was how flat MVP was. The guy didn't smile the whole time, or give any nod to the fans - that was spooky.

        Miz v Hennig. Inevitable that Miz would win this one to keep him looking strong for his RAW angles. i.e. if he can't beat a rookie, why is he fighting Orton? lol Both Hennig and Miz put on a good show, but like the other matches, suffered bigtime for lack of match-time.

        Next weeks elimination pole, i think will come down to Watson or Cannon being booted.
