My Views on WWE NXT for the week of Dec 15th 2010

Yes I know I'm still a week behind.

We opened with a... karaoke challenge.   That's my kind of challenge. 
#1-Conor O'Brian  went first and had to sing Sheamus' song.   Oh MY!  my ears are bleeding.  Dude, more Cher less Axl Rose.

#2- Derrick Bateman sang Miz's song. All I have to say is that Tom Araya is not exactly sweating or anything.

#3- Jacob Novak sang Dolph Ziggler's song.  Cats are covering their ears right now. 

#4-Brodus Clay sang Cody Rhodes.  He sort of spoke it and not even tried to sing it.

#5- Johnny Curtis  sang Randy Orton's song. The crowd went nuts when that was announced. Um dude, just cause you're singing Orton's theme does not mean you need to pretend to be him, though I'm sure your little snake dance on the canvas took some energy.  At lest he didn't take himself so damned seriously as a few of the other guys did. 

#6- Byron Saxton sang HBK's song.  He's got a voice.  Too bad they gave him that song. It was the wrong key but... the dancing was not needed.

I have a feeling there are alot of Pantera fans in that list of Rookies.   Bryon Saxton won this one.

We had a tag team match,   Chris Masters/Bryon Saxton vs DiBiase/Brodus Clay.   Ironically, DiBiase was looking decent in this match.  Maybe DiBiase has been reading what fans have been saying and actually gone back to training?  DiBiase got the win for his team.

The obstacle course was the second challenge. It was worth 2 points. 
  • Jacob Novak  ran it in 37.9 seconds
  • Byron Saxton ran it in 1.02 minute
  • Conor O'Brian ran it in 42.7 seconds
  • Derrick Bateman ran it in 5.7 seconds
  • Johnny Curtis ran it in 34.8 seconds  and was disqualified  for falling off the beam
  • Brodus Clay was also disqualified for tossing the stuff around and putting his hands on the ref
Johnny Curtis was given a second chance and ran it in 31.4 seconds and won it getting 2 immunity points.

We then had a match between Albert Del Rio vs Derrick Bateman.  Alberto Del Rio won with his cross armbreaker.

Okay, I have to say this,  I like the idea of Dolph Ziggler being unsettled over the idea of Jacob Novak hanging around Vicky.   I just wish Vicky would get a new necklace.
