Rank NXT Rookies

[Airfixx]

Slater sucks so bad.... What the fuck's with the "One Man Rock Band"crap? What; is he gonna play heavy metal out of his arse as his finisher?

...And that arem waving business he does when he's playing to the fans is puke-inducingly lame.


@ XBA: "Rapist hair"?????

LOL, but please elaborate.

Wade Barrett is really the only one I like. The rest I don't really care for but maybe they just need to grow on me.

That's the tall Brit that wears the different coloured roses, yeah?

...Made me laugh when Cole brought that up last week. Reminder me of SoulPower's 'Benoit Facts ' thread where it says Benoit's tights colour dependind on his mood.... Red: Angry, Blue: Angry, Yellow: Angry etc. :

...But "meh" - If they wanted another bruitish Brit they should have kept hold of 'The Ripper'

Darren Young's working on Justin Gabriel gave him heat. Did you watch the match? Punk wasn't even in the ring when the crowd was booing the hell out of him. You could hear the "HARDY!" chants all over and Gabriel was feeding over that

Did Just Gabriel get a match last night, or something? I missed the show on account of Lost being on, and being infinitely better than NXT. I ask, because all I've seen of him was a tag match with Matt Hardy, in which he didn't do much at all besides clean up with a 450 splash. If he's getting good rankings because of that, then, uh....

 

[Airfixx]

He won a singles match last week... Haven't seen this week's show yet.

Yes he did have a match, w/matt hardy vs punk & the one with the weird hair, they lost but I think he is still 3-1 now.

Because the fans like Gabriel, that's why they were booing Young when he was working on him. The Hardy chants came up when Gabriel was beat down and going for the hot tag. Gabriel gets good reactions by himself. Young was barely getting anything. Why was he getting so much this week? Because of Punk.

Ok then. Punk had nothing to do with that. Heat is heat bro and Young got it by himself. The fans were chanting Hardy in the first 3 min of the match.

Young's gonna get fired soon anyway so get over it.

1. Daniel Bryan (without a doubt, the best)
2. Wade Barrett
3. Justin Gabriel
4. David Otunga
5. Darren Young
6. Heath Slater
The rest I could not care less about, Tarver and Sheffield don't appeal to me one bit. Slater is close to being in this category, but he is at least trying. The gimmick is a but over the top silly.

[Charismatic Edge]

I don't think it matters where anyone ranks them. The show may not make it past one year. I just don't understand what the ultimate goal is. To put them all on the roster? To cut some of them?

I think after next week's NXT, only four will remind. These are my 4 in no particular order.

1. Daniel Bryan
2. Justin Gabriel
3. Wade Barrett
4. David Otunga.

Frankly, I hate Otunga. I think his wrestling skills suck and compared to Wade Barrett, his mic skills sucks. Wade Barrett can be an awesome commentator. Just check out his FCW work. Also, I think Darren Young sneaks in by joining the SES.
