  1. The problem is with Cesaro is that they brought him in with no real hype or fan-fare. He did very little then won the US Title out of nowhere. If they want to get him over big-time they need to give the fans a reason to invest in him. Being an ex-rugby player or a USA hater is very 1995 and really won't get over nowadays. I think WWE have devalued the mid-card titles so much that the US belt especially is worthless now. If I was WWE i'd unify the US and IC titles together to at least add a little prestige. Give Cesaro and Kofi long reigns with the belts now up until Mania then have a unification match. Winning at Wrestlemania would give Cesaro a huge boost.

  2. NEWM, I have a challenge for you. I haven't watched NXT since NXT: Redemption kicked off and I found the neverending concept so dull that I bowed out. Can you summarise what's happened since?

     

    I'll try. Redemption started in March of last year. It started with the usual system of pros and rookies:

     

    Darren Young and Chavo Guerrero

    Byron Saxton and Yoshi Tatsu

    Titus O Neil and Hornswoggle

    Lucky Cannon and Tyson Kidd

    Jacob Novak and JTG

    Conor O Brian and Vladimir Kozlov

     

    For the first like 3/4 months it followed the usual format of challenges and eliminations.

     

    In order the following were eliminated:

     

    Jacob Novak (Week 11)

    Byron Saxton (Week 13)

    Lucky Cannon (Week 15)

    Conor O Brian (Week 17).

     

    Then after that it slowly turned from NXT as we knew it to basically a re-hashed superstars with some storyline archs. The pro's were slowly forgotten....Chavo and Kozlov were future endeavoured and the other 4 stayed around.

     

    Matt Striker became the host and "match creator" of NXT and Maryse disappeared as co-host. There's been several different commentary teams intermingling William Regal(who has since become the "match creator") Josh Matthews, Michael Cole(on occasion) Matt Striker and Jack Korpela(before he left WWE).

     

    Then randomly Derrick Bateman also came back to NXT when it came down to the final 2.

     

    There's been several heel and face turns with Young, O Neil and Bateman all turning at some point. There have been a few notable feuds including:

     

    Tyson Kidd and Yoshi Tatsu feuding over Kidd breaking Yoshi's action figure- Also led to Yoshi's change in appearance with part face paint and mask

     

    Young and O Neil feuded for a while but they are now a team who are kinda feuding over Tamina's affections.

     

    There was the relationship with Derrick Bateman and Maxine "Betamax" and Johnny Curtis's involvement made Maxine go back and forth between both men countless times.

     

    Some good matches to check out from NXT:

     

    Any of Kidd vs Barretta's matches.

    Gabriel vs Slater

    Mcgillicutty vs Kidd

     

    Current Roster....Kinda:

     

    Tyson Kidd

    Michael Mcgillicutty

    Titus O' Neil

    Darren Young

    Derrick Bateman

    Percy Watson

    Alex Riley

    Yoshi Tatsu

    Michael Mcilligutty

    Maxine

    Kaitlyn

    Natalya (Occasionally)

    The Usos

    Johnny Curtis

    Curt Hawkins

    Tyler Reks

    Tamina

    JTG

     

    Current feuds:

     

    Tyson Kidd and Michael Mcgillicutty have been feuding over Little Hennig believing Kidd isn't a Hart. They've had 3 great matches now.

     

    Hawkins and Reks recently "kidnapped" Matt Striker and are involved in a feud with Regal and kinda with Maxine and Johnny Curtis.

     

    Similarly Curtis and Maxine are feuding with Bateman and Kaitlyn.

     

    Darren Young and Titus O Neil are soon seemingly going to feud over Tamina.

     

    That's a very brief summary of the last year or so. I'm sure NEWM can do better but still.

  3. Homer: BERSERK IS RIGHT!

     

    (after Grampa says he's going to the outhouse)

    Lisa: Wait a minute, we don't have an outhouse...

     

    Similarly to that one, The Simpsons are staying at a family members house.

     

    Homer: I'm going to use the outhouse

    Man: Outhouse? Oh my God my recording studio!

  4. I'm a huge fan of NXT purely for Tyson Kidd. The guy deserves to be on TV way more but until then i'm happy with him on NXT. He's been great as a face thus far and seems to be getting over. No match this week on NXT but there was a backstage segment with Mcgillicutty in which Kidd ended up kneeing him in the gut leading up to a future match.

  5. I love this quote from "Mobile Homer"

     

    Homer: You can't enjoy money when you're dead so why not have fun now!! Marge: Don't you think you've had enough fun? Last year you spent $5,000 on donuts, $2,000 on scalp massages, $500 on body glitter. Homer: Hey, I earned that money. While you lounge around here doing laundry and putting up drywall, I'm at work busting my hump. Marge: Oh, please. From what I hear you waltz in there at 10:30, take a nap on the toilet, then sit around Googling your own name until lunch. Homer: (gasping) Who told you that?! Marge: You shouted it while we were making love!!
