NXT Season 5

[Troy]

Damn I didn't realise that. That just makes the prize even worse. On Season 4 didn't they have it where for one of the immunity challenges the prize was being able to switch pros? Now the season prize is the equivalent to an immunity challenge which is pathetic.

Chavo would be the best choice.

 

[Deezy]

Because Chavo couldn't have any advice for any up and coming wrestler?

C'mon Doz, fuck this kayfabe crap. Chavo would be an awesome coach.

Byron Saxton 1W 3L (4 redemption points)
Conor O'Brian 3W 1L
Darren Young 2W 4L (7 redemption points)
Jacob Novak 1W 4L (2 redemption points)
Lucky Cannon 2W 3L
Titus O'Neil 5W 0L (13 redemption points)

Titus O'Neil is clearly the stand out for the season. Undefeated so far and seems destined to be the winner although if I was him I wouldn't want to win because it means you are stuck on NXT for another season.

 

[Troy]

Jacob Novak was eliminated this week and was the first to be eliminated from this season of the show. I can see him being released from WWE since he has had two shots at NXT and still can't connect with the audience.

 

[Troy]

Byron Saxton was the second rookie to be eliminated. Doesn't seem like WWE want to use him as a wrestler and maybe they could have him work as a manager or commentator which he has done before.

Can't believe how long this season has been going for and only two rookies have been eliminated.

 

[Troy]

Big update, the two finalists are Titus O'Neil and Darren Young. But WWE then brought back Derrick Bateman and he is part of the final three now. Shows that WWE don't care for the show, stupid adding another member and dragging this on even longer. It has been going on for over four months.

Just end this show, WWE ECW was a much better show, created more stars and received a better rating.

 

[TheZig]

Sadly i've had enough spare time to keep up with this season and its been even more painful than usual to watch. They have had Bateman back on the show for the past 3-4 weeks and i don't understand why this series is still going, Usually we would have had a winner by now.

 

[Deezy]

Keeping this show on so others would have shit to do when they are not on Superstars.

 

[Troy]

They should just release some guys rather than continuing to throw money at this. Surely the international contracts for NXT must be running out soon so they can finally end the show.

 

[Andrew]

Agreed Deezy.

Kidd/Tatsu feud when both on Smackdown, they use NXT for it.

I wish NXT would just go already, it's been a massive season. Just put these guys on Superstars, throw another belt there or have something where if the superstar proves to be good they get a choice. RAW or Smackdown.

 

[PegasusKid]

I am over NXT period, I dont think even WWE know where they are going with this anymore because they clearly dont use the winners correcty. Curtis and Truth title shot? Kaval realeased. Nexus was the best thing to come off that show but even that is stale now. WWE needs to cut there losses and put money into developing superstars as a viable show to display younger talent.

 

[Aniking]

I don't really like the fact Otunga and McGillicutty still wear the Nexus merch. Just let it all die.

I watched every episode of season 1, 2 and 4 (refused to watch the Diva's one as I knew it'd be shit) and for a while I watched all of season 5, but I've not watched NXT for the past 3-4 weeks. It's really getting ridiculously boring and repetitive, even going as far as creating lame feuds between Kidd & Tatsu and also JTG & Kozlov.

I just want somebody to be announced as the winner and move onto season 6. I'm keen for season 6 as the talent that will be used is apparently better than seasons 4 & 5 as the WWE intentionally left it until now. Hopefully it can spark the show back up.

Also, is anybody as pissed off as I am whenever Matt Striker and Maryse ask the WWE Universe to judge the winner of basically every fucking challenge? It's so obvious that Titus O'Neil will be cheered, and it's just painful at how rigged the challenges are.

 

[TheZig]

I caught NXT tonight and it had three solid matches on the card, Though i don't understand the concept of the show anymore with it feeling like another Superstars. Its like what Velocity was to Heat but with some underlying structure which isn't made clear, Ofcourse theres the whole the winner goes into the next season of NXT blah but when?

The best match of the show was Tyson Kidd vs Justin Gabriel, Im not sure why this match took place but if you get a spare approx 15 minutes its a good match.

 

[Andrew]

TheZig. With Kidd & Tatsu's feud seemly over now. Gabriel's the next face and I missed NXT but once NXT Season 5 is over... Perhaps, these feuds will happen on Smackdown.

I managed to read results and someone tell me why the fuck Matt Striker is wrestling again?

Unless Striker's back to wrestle under the teacher gimmick then I'm all for it.

I didn't watch that NXT, but I did read the results as well, and it just sounds like he was needed to make up numbers. Bateman and Young are teaming up against O'Neil, so Striker (being the host and a former wrestler) was thrown into the mix. As lame as it is, it makes sense.
