"We are wild and young and we have just begun."-American Bang
That line is from the NXT theme song, which really does tell the story of this season.
Last night was the season finale of NXT, something very strange because typical wrestling doesn't have seasons, and they were going to announce the winner.
First I would like to say that I thought it was very cool that they did the show 100% live last night. It was good because it added to the intrigue and suspense of the night. I found out that they actually stopped Smackdown tapings right in the middle, just to make sure that the show as live. Well done WWE.
Second, they announced last night that next week will start season two of NXT. That now explains why they sped up the first season so that they could churn another season out before October when Smackdown moves to SyFy. I think the other thing is that they hope that it will pick up in the ratings.
Now onto last night's show. It was very nice to see all the pros there for once, as well as the eliminated rookies. That added alot to the show for me.
The one match that they had was a three way dance between Barrett, Otunga and Gabriel. It was an okay match, Mandy said it perfect "I hope these guys improve because I'm bored." I think that statement actually explains all the wrestling on the first season of NXT. Barrett won the match, pinning both guys and you can see where this is obviously going.
Daniel Bryan was asked who he thinks is going to win and his answer was a perfect summary of the night. "Otunga can't wrestle, Gabriel can't talk, so that mean Barrett should win."
That being said the obvious choice won, Wade Barrett won NXT and will get a title shot of his choosing at a PPV. I figured he would have announced on the show but he didn't.
That's it for season one of NXT, it was fun. It wasn't the best show in the world, but I definitely enjoyed it. I hope they just continue to improve into the next season because the last few weeks were the best of the whole season by far.
