Grash Says…

I’ve written about the pecking order, who has what redemption points, ect. ect. At this point I’m not going to bother with it as we’re not dealing with an elimination situation at all. Again tonight, we got only one challenge. After that we had all of the rookies in action tonight. On top of that, we have storylines going on at the same time as well. This is a big change for NXT from other seasons, as the show now looks more like a traditional wrestling show now.

Our Challenge tonight was laughably bad. Most NXT Challenges are, what a surprise. If you’ve been following NXT then you’ll find some gold. Chavo writing “Trash Man” being one of them.

If you notice the recap this week, I’ve started to calling Darren Young, Darth Young. His storyline is all about his fall. It started with Titus beating him. Swaggle being a distraction. Now the next step is Darren turning on the one man who is trying to help him, Chavo. Some of you are why? Well, Up till this point Darren Young has been presented as a babyface. Even in the original Nexus, he was hesitant as a heel. This storyline is to build in to Darren why is he is a Heel. And In short, it is the fall of the Hero.

Our next storyline is how Novak is getting repackaged into Wigger Novak. I am going to repeat something I said a few weeks ago. This worked for John Cena. Cena started off heel, but as time went on he got turned face cause everyone was cheering for him. It’s cause as a heel he had swagger. When
Cena turned face, he kept that swagger. For a few moments the crowd cheered for him. That’s cause he’d getting swagger. Plus character wise, he’s got a huge pair of balls to go after Regal. This has set up the match for next week between Novak and Regal. Expect a good match next week! Tell your friends Regal is getting in the ring!

Our last story line has been the “Maryse” angle. There are three new things that took place tonight. First, we’ve seen Saxton step up in his role in this story. This is best seen at first when he tells Yoshi that he wished he spend half of the time on him as he did getting Maryse. Second, we saw Yoshi lose all common sense in anything regarding Maryse. This ends up DQ’ing Saxton and this becomes the tipping point between the two. We will see the aftershocks of this for the next few weeks. The third development is in Maryse herself. Uptill the end of the match, Maryse has had the look of complete disgust for lucky Cannon. After Lucky took out Saxton to stand victorious in the ring, Maryse had a look of a mix attraction and disgust. In short, she is now a confused character. This is where I’m curious to what you think. Whom does Maryse fit better with – Yoshi Tatsu or Lucky Cannon?

My biggest fan wrote that now that Tough Enough is on, it’s time to put NXT to the pasture. What he doesn’t understand that the NXT guys are all FCW Developmental guys who are a step or two away from the main rosters. The Tough Enough kids are trying to break and get that first step to get at least a developmental deal. When you put an NXT Guy next to one of the Tough Enough Kids, all of kids look as bad as Miss America. They may look the same, but they are two different beasts.
