WWE NXT 5/11/10

As a fan of the WWE, I started watching NXT because I was curious about the concept and well I like wrestling so what the hell? The show has had it's ups and downs but last night was it's first elimination night so it was bound to be a special night.

The wrestling matches were alright but that wasn't the story out of last night. It was the eliminations.

I, much like alot of people were expecting ONE elimination based on the pro poll. Well when the show went on the air Striker broke it to us that were surprises in store.

First came Micheal Tarver. The one who I said was going home no matter what happened. He had won only one match and practically walked off on every competition that was held over the course of the show. But what I didn't expect was they booted him off because he said last week that he should be the one to go home. That's fine by me. I didn't like him and him going home was not a shock at all.

The shocker came next. Daniel Bryan is my personal favorite. I followed him since I saw him, Bryan Danielson, at a ROH show last year was very impressed. He was ranked #1 and despite going 0-10 in NXT matches, I figured he was safe no matter what. Well, he said the same thing that Tarver did last week, so that sent him home too. I will admit, I was totally stunned. But I did BIG TIME love what he said during the his exit interview. He revealed that he is Bryan Danielson, and that I hope is the sign that he will be back soon on Raw or Smackdown as the wrestler and person I expected to begin with.

Finally, the pros poll came out and Skip Sheffield, honestly not a surprise at all, went home. Not much to say on that except, I wonder what would have happened if they actually did the real pro poll before the surprise double elimination at the beginning of the show.

Overall, I will say the whole thing caught me off guard. It seems like they are now rushing the show by. It might be the low ratings, or it might be the fact that Smackdown is moving the SyFy in October and the show has to be over by them so they don't have two wrestling programs on the same channel. Either way, I'm very curious what they are going to do next, but I won't be shocked at all if at the end of all this it comes down to David Otunga and Wade Barrett.
