This was an elimination week.
We open with a weird recap of the last few weeks of both Smackdown and Raw Rookie storylines because of it being and elimination week.
The challenge this week was How Well Do You Know Your Pro?
Which was suppose to be worth 4 points.
- Johnny Curtis = 0
- Byron Saxton = 0
- Derrick Bateman= 3
- Conor' OBrian= 0
- Brodus Clay = 2
Josh Mathews was asking Todd Grisham about the show tonight, when he had his production notes in front of him. Grishamn pointed that out to him. Makes you wonder if they were just killing time or if the script got changed and no one updated Josh's copy?
Match #1 was Saxton vs Chris Masters. Masters won this with his Master's Lock
Match #2 was a tag match between DiBiase/Clay vs Daniel Bryan/Bateman. Clay left his pro to suffer letting Bateman get the win.
Match #3 was Conor OBrian vs Ricardo Rodriguez. Yes, you read that right. Alberto Del Rio's Rookie vs Alberto Del Rio's sidekick. Rodrieguez won. WHAT?????? How did that happen?
Actually, it was a funny two minutes, that served it's purpose. It gave all 3 men some extra air time, was an extra match for the show and helped to introduce Rodriguez to the ring.
Then Elimination was up. Derrick Bateman had immunity this time around.
I seriously don't understand that one. He's got the talent and the mic skills. From the way they've been using him on Smackdown and with the whole feud against Rodriguez, I thought for sure he was going to be in the top two. I'm not happy at all. Bring him back damn it!!!
