NXT LD is destroying shit and whipping people on 6/8

NorCal, I'm a mark for Morrison and I'll concede that every bit as fun as he is to watch in the ring, he is equally bad on the mic (though I think he has the Jeff Hardy sort of charisma (i.e. it's there he just cant talk for smack)). I'll also freely concede that he should be more over. However, you can not use the crowd reaction in this case to say whether or not MVP is more over than Morrison in general. Home town crowds are anomalies, and 'local boys' will be more over than normal. If this happened in Canada, Christian would have outpopped half the roster. In LA, Morrison would have outpopped MVP. That's the way local crowds react, local boys = bigger reaction.

The fact that Morrison dominated that poll would suggest that he is over. But then, maybe I'm reading so far into it because of my Marksist tendancies.

As for my NXT predictions:
  • This it will be a good show.
  • Titus O'Neill, Lucky Cannon, Percy Wattson, Husky Harris and Kaval will be over
  • Alex Riley will get heat
  • Eli Cottonwood and Michael McGillicutty will get no appreciable reaction.
  • Alex Riley, Lucky Cannon, Kaval and Michael McGillicutty will be good in the ring
  • Husky Harris and Eli Cottonwood will be bad
  • Titus will be so green that he will be mistaken for a leaf
  • Percy will jump high and be flamboiant.
  • Lucky Cannon's pop will be more high pitched than normal and will be the top babyface.
  • Alex Riley will be damn, damn good.
  • Titus and Husky will never be this over again throughout the duration of NXT.
  • The Raw Rebound will be FUCKING EPIC
 
If Eli has a Lennie from Of Mice And Men gimmick, I will enjoy him.

Percy Watson better be like Disco Kid. No Darren Youngs allowed.
 
His initial promo made him seem like Eddie Murphy combined with Disco Kid combined with sheer awesome.
 
Lucky will be more over than him though. His gimmick wont get annoying as quickly and is just better.
 
Tonight will be interesting. I wonder if Striker will even show after being annihilated last night, same goes for Cole. Something tells me the Pros may recieve a beatdown tonight at the hands of the nXTWo
 
Well I'll be watching NXT for the first time tonight. Hopefully the season 1 rookies will make an appearance.
 
I'm writing a thread on that actually, but then I noticed a different thread in the section and I'm waiting word on whether the two topics are distinct enough to warrant another thread or if I should just post my thread in that one.

I'm sure you can tell by my sig what I want to happen. ;)
 
I think it should only be a very small part of the show, at the very end. You need to use this to introduce the new guys. Titus O' Neal, Alex Riley, and Luck Cannon look like future stars.
 
I'm actually reasonably high on Titus. Higher than Cottonwood. Unlike Otunga, he knows how to use his physique, since he was in football. I foresee a lot of tackles and slams. Kind of like a Big Zeke style moveset with very painful-looking attacks. I haven't seen a lot of his FCW videos but that looks to be what we'll see.
 
If Cottonwood is even remotely viable, he will have a monster heel push somewere. Its tough finding guys that huge that are even remotely athletic
 
You know what I'd like? Barrett on commentary. He can be there to 'scout for potential recruits' (or similar bs), it keeps the invasion in the minds of everybody, he can talk (or not) about what he did, and be awesome. he's commentated before and did a damn good job in FCW, and could do a rehashing of a FCW storyline by leaving the booth to lay the smackdown on some unsuspecting babyface, before ending the show in chaos ala Raw.

And NorCal, Cottonwood isn't even the best giant in FCW imo. That's probably Joe Doering/Drake Brewer.
 
Can someone who watches FCW confirm or deny that Cottonwood has that Lennie gimmick where he doesn't know his own strength?
 
That will be a good pairing, could lead him down the frankenstein path. Morrison is all gorgeous and popular (with girls, not being actually over, I mean) while Cottonwood is this monsterous freak, building hatred. Definately could work.
 
Can someone who watches FCW confirm or deny that Cottonwood has that Lennie gimmick where he doesn't know his own strength?

Well when I was watching he didn't have that gmmick. In fcw he was in a storyline with this girl name Akasana and basically the storyline was sorta like the Abyss and Lauren thing and she got kidnapped by a guy name Black pain and then they had a feud.
 
FCW has like 3 or 4 7 footers.

And Drake's not so much athletic as he is methodical and dominant. Sort of like Wade Barrett but 30 pounds heavier with a stiffass style honed in Japan.
