NXT for the week of Jan 13th 2011





We opened with another of the Rookie challenges.  The Slingshot challenge.  The Pros stood in the ring and had to use an 8 foot slingshot to shoot balled up tee shirts to their Rookies, who would catch them. 

  • Johnny Curtis = 0 
  • Bryon Saxton = 1
  • Derrick Bateman= 2
  • Brodus Clay = 0
  • Conor O'Brian = 1
This gives Bateman the win.

Match #1 was Bryon Saxton vs Conor O'Brian.   O'Brian got the win.

Wow, Dolph Ziggler came to the ring wearing... jeans and a sweater. Damn, he's hot in clothes.  I know odd thing to say, but when you see these wrestlers all the time in their gear, seeing them in actual clothes is a ... well the same effect that you would have from seeing an average guy in clothes all the time then naked... 

Second challenge was the Superstar Password.  Each Rookie had to get their Pro to say the name of another Superstar without using key words.... dude the challenges on today's show were more lame then usual.
  • Johnny Curtis got 2 points
  • Byron Saxton got 2 points
  • Derrick Bateman got 3 points
  • Brodus Clay got 1 point
  • Conor O'Brian got 1 point
Myrase was answering for Brodus Clay and purposely causing him to run out of time. Where as Alberto Del Rio and Conor O'Brian were having a bit of a giggle fest and ran out of time.
Bateman won this round as well.

Match #2- Johnny Curtis vs DiBiase.   Curtis took the win.

Next week is the second round of  eliminations.  I have to say too, that I am thinking Conor O'Brian must be doing better then most, as I'm loving the storyline that's happening with him.
My prediction is that ...Brodus Clay will be the next to go. Let's see if I'm right.
