NXT for the Week of Jan 27th 2011

We open with a bit of a soap opera admitting that yes, Derrick Bateman did cheat last week.   See, I told you. 
This then moved swiftly into their first challenge of the night.  Out Think the Fink.  Each Rookie had 30 seconds, other then Bateman who only had 20 seconds, to get more points then the Fink in a trivia game.
  • Johnny Curtis= 1
  • Derrick Bateman =1
  • Byron Saxton = 1
  • Brodus Clay =0
Nobody won this round as the Fink had a total of 2 points.
Seriously, only giving him 20 seconds isn't much of anything.  He shouldn't have been allowed to part take in this round at all.  Mind you, no one could get many answers given Matt Striker was so frealing slow on the mic.

Match #1 was DiBiase vs Daniel Bryan.  DiBiase won this one.  I know I'm amazed too.

Match #2 of the night was a fatal four way elimination match.  It also happened to be the second challenge of the night.   The winner could switch out his Pro if he wanted to.
  • Brodus Clay pinned Derrick Bateman. Bateman was eliminated
  • Johnny Curtis pinned Byron Saxton.   Saxton was eliminated
  • Brodus Clay pinned Johnny Curtis.   Curtis was eliminated
Brodus Clay won this challenge/match and decided to switch out his Pro.  DiBiase for Albert Del Rio.
Fine choice if I do say so myself.  I'm still pissed about Conor O'Brian having been voted out the other week. I'll not forgive anyone for that one.
