WWE.com: WWE NXT: April 11, 2012

Skip to around 30mins in for McGillicutty vs Tyson. Match went around 10 minutes and it was a really good.

The match received rave reviews from people backstage including "Road Dogg" BG James

[AZUCAR!]

Is Maxine on the show?

 

[Dale]

I skipped through but saw her in some awful backstage segment with Hawkins & Ryder.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Yeah, Hawkins and Reks have 'kidnapped' Striker and are holding him hostage

 

[Chris]

I thought the segments were pretty funny honestly. If you're going to have stupid comedy in wrestling, that's how you do it. The Kidd/McGillicutty match was PPV quality, some great stuff from both guys. Easily the best in their series.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

I'm starting to like Mike more (no idea how to spell his stupid last name WWE gave him). His in ring ability is improving although working with Tyson Kidd really helps. It was a very solid match and enjoyable hopefully these guys can get more of the spotlight on the bigger show.

Hawkins and Reks segments were pretty lame and I'm probably the biggest Curt Hawkins fan on the forum. I wasn't feeling it but this feud is still intriguing with Regal and Striker. It wasn't a good week.

I heard McGillicutty had food poisoning and still worked a great match.

These two should be pushed, also I heard that Curt Hennig and Brock Lesnar were best mates back in the day and they are thinking of a way to push McGillicutty. The promos Kidd & McGillicutty have been doing lately are great, just wish they were on SD or RAW, both guys have a lot of potential

 

[Chris]

Brock and Hennig best friends? Hennig fighting Brock on a plane in 2002 was the reason Hennig was fired from WWE.

But yeah, McGillicutty had food poisoning and still put on a great match.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Maxine looked hot too :wank:

 

[Dale]

To be honest, I don't think his problem has ever been his in-ring work as he was easily amongst the top workers with Kaval and Husky. His letdown was that he didn't really have a gimmick and his mic work was piss poor, but the last few weeks i've seen him his micwork seems to have improved drastically and even though he doesn't seem to have an actual gimmick, he seems to show attitude which is working for him. The stuff with Tyson has been great on NXT and it's just a shame that something like this can't get any coverage on SmackDown for instance.

Dark Match:
Damien Sandow defeated JTG via submission with a chicken wing. Before the next, Sandow cut a promo on the crowd saying that they were suffering from ignorance.


WWE Superstars (Airing Thursday on WWE.com):
Kofi Kingston defeated Curt Hawkins (w/ Tyler Reks) with Trouble In Paradise.
Kelly Kelly defeated Brie Bella after hitting a stinkface.

​

Pinned after a stinkface. JESUS CHRIST

 

[Andrew]

It's Brie Bella and she isn't re-signing to WWE therefore they'd embarrass the Bellas the way they did to Morrison.

 

[Chris]

I watched the match, and if you want to get technical, I guess it was "after" the stinkface, but the stinkface was followed by a bulldog, then Brie fighting back, only for Kelly to win with a pinning combination. Very misleading spoilers. Kofi/Hawkins match was alright, expected more, but it wasn't bad. Don't think I'll watch Zeke vs Mahal.

Just watched NXT, fuck I love McGillicutty & Kidd. Both of these guys are better than half the roster no lie. I've grown on McGillicutty a lot lately and that submission move Kidd did was OMFG, that was a sick manuever of the Sharpshooter and if he continues to use it that'd be epic.

I love how McGillicutty has been using a Sharpshooter as well lately.

So I'm the only one that marked when Titus did the Martin Lawerence - Jerome reference and stance" - "I'm a playa from the Himalyas"?

Really

I love the new wwe.com as I can watch NXT on the ipad and hook up the av cable to out put it to the tv. Haven't seen Superstars since it came on WGN and I used to watch every week. May have to catch up on that, but as it stands right now I'm trating it like I did Velocity on wwe.com, barely following while I always watched Heat(and do NXT)
