Wrestling WWE IX: A Solid B+

[BeastieRunner]

"Hi. We're going to show Americans what real wrestling is."

So far, five NXT wrestlers have been let go today. Most of them haven't been on TV, but one was a Rosebud.

The one that I was surprised about was Shaun Ricker. I'd seen him a little bit right before he got signed (and he was working with Percy Pringle), and he seemed to be a complete package for WWE. I was just wondering the other day why he hadn't started on NXT's show yet, I guess this is why.

Who else was let go?

Here's the list of NXT talents: Travis Tyler, Garrett Dylan, Slate Randall, Mac Miles and Dani Jax. Garrett Dylan was the only one I'd seen. I was more amazed that the WWE would give someone a name as generic as "Slate Randall".

Speaking of NXT, does anyone else think that the Tyson Kidd storyline is building to a Tyson vs Natalya match?

Haha, no, not in this era.

If they were, it makes Tyson look horrible win, lose, or draw. He's not Jericho, Eddie, or Angle in the charisma department. I think that would totally end his career.

Thanks for the name list, BTW! Jaxx had some sweet moves and looked different for a Diva.

No one they were using, every cut made sense.
In fact, the guy working as a rosebud had already been fired once this year.

I liked Miss Jaxxx. Or Jaxxxxxxx. I forgot how many x's you are supposed to put.

he was my favorite of the WWE signees.

Ok wrestling skills, perfect look and good on the mic.

It would be the first Husband vs. Wife match in history wouldn't it? This storyline has to end up in a gimmick change for both of them though.

I do think that we are heading towards a Fandango vs. Summer Rae & Layla match somewhere down the line though. (Or he needs a new valet)

Kayfabe or not? I think Goldust and Terri/Marellawhatever her gimmick was did? I can't remember. I think Linda pinned Vince once. But neither were actual matches.

I still think it would end Tyson's cred. He has Lance Storm levels of charisma ... he can't come back from it.

Nothing that happens on nxt counts.

I'm sure the whole locker room won't forget it. I'm also sure a match like that will get brought up in a certain political election or share holder meetings. It's so out of the norm for the current product. I can't see it ending well.

Well since Tyson is on his way down rather his way up, I thought it might be the kind of match he loses before he's released (or takes on a backstage role).

That's the other problem. Although (unfairly) I'm sure there would be far fewer complaints if Tyson lost than if he won.

No, i ment his cred ending.
Tyson has no cred outside nxt.

He was supposed to be masked and even bought new ring gear for it so ... maybe ... I just don't see him getting cut.

I totally agree about it being unfair. Sad world we live in ...

Ah, I understand. It definitely wouldn't help him get any!
