NXT SEASON 2 FINALE
The match:
Alex Riley beats Michael McGillicutty and Kaval. REACT: McGillicutty was impressive here, especially with his missile dropkick. I didn't like how both announcers high-fived The Miz. Kaval also had a decent showing. It was smart to have Riley win, as WWE was trying to get him a few more votes.
The first elimination:
Alex Riley. REACT: Still the best one in Season 2. Too bad he didn't even make the final two.
Lucky Cannon:
Heel turn? REACT: This might help him some.
Five who were cut vote:
McGillicutty gets two votes and Riley gets three votes. REACT: Kaval getting no votes was the sign of the beatdown at the end.
The promos:
McGillicutty. REACT: I liked how he mentioned Kaval taking 13 years to get here. But the "flute" comment was worthless.
Kaval. REACT: Decent middle-class angle promo. Better than McGillicutty's promo.
The future:
Alex Riley, Kaval and McGillicutty. REACT: These three were clearly the best on the show. I still say Riley has the brightest future. Having Kaval in an underdog role will serve him role. McGillicutty will be much like Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr. -- decent.
NXT SEASON 3 PREVIEW
Five episodes by Oct. 1 because Syfy-WWE contract ends. REACT: That's a lot in a little time.
Here are the rookies, with pros listed first, in the order I expect them to finish.
Primo Colon and AJ Lee (April Jeanette), current Queen of FCW. REACT: Along with Knight, one of the favorites to win.
Kelly Kelly and Naomi Night (Trinity McCray). REACT: The current FCW Divas Champion is the most athletic of the bunch. The former Magic dancer will get extra votes out of Orlando.
Vickie Guerrero and Aloisia (Isis The Amazon). REACT: 6-foot-9. Need I say more. Expect her to make the final three. Without having seen her wrestle, I can't say yet if she will win.
Goldust and Aksana (Zivile Raudoniene). REACT: Lithuanian has the voice and an exotic look, but I don't see her winning.
Alicia Fox and Maxine (Karlee Perez or Liviana). REACT: I don't know much about her.
The Bella Twins and Jamie Keyes (Brittany Beede or Kevin Nash's Brittany). REACT: Longest shot to win.
LATEST HEADLINES AND MY REACTS
WWE
Slim chance of Team 3D coming back because many do not like Brother Ray. REACT: He does speak his mind.
Officials said Divas in California had "too much drama." REACT: There's a shocker.
WWE to hold unification match for women's titles and may unify all the titles in the next year. REACT: About time. It would make the world-title match at WrestleMania mean a lot more.
John Cena said he is not fan of UFC and mixed martial arts. REACT: I find it hard to believe he doesn't watch it.
TNA Wrestling
Shannon Moore/Christina Von Eerie vs. Okada & Cookie (Becky Bayless) is being called by some "the worst dark match in history." REACT: I'd love to see that one air.
