Last night the latest NXT rookie poll came out and the latest elimination went down. Overall, I wasn't surprised at all but said elimination but I will give my latest opinions on the rookies and where I think they will end up as we go on in the competition.
1. Michael McGillicutty
This cracked me up this morning because they made this big deal out of him winning the immunity last week and he ended up not only not needing it, but ended up jumping to the #1 spot. It doesn't really surprise me, he is undefeated and word is finally getting to the fans that he is Curt Henning's son. He deserves to be here.
2. Kaval
Former #1, dropped down a spot. Weirdly I don't mind him dropping because it adds major realism to the ranking system. He's my personal favorite and the dark horse for this competition. I just wish he'd win more often.
3. Alex Riley
Ah, Michael Cole's favorite rookie. The guy that alot of people have ranked to win the show. I give this guy credit because he had a near-death concussion three weeks ago at FCW and is still not only wrestling but putting on very good matches. I won't be surprised if he becomes a major force to be reckoned with.
4. Percy Watson
Showtime is so entertaining. The problem I have is that he tries WAY too hard to get his gimmick over. He's a good wrestler and great on the mic, he's just got to turn the energy level down a tiny bit. Being too over-the-top might turn off alot of people at home and lead to an earlier exit than expected.
5. Lucky Cannon
The only issue I have with Lucky is the fact that he's boring. He doesn't have a great personality or even that good in the ring. I hope he improves but right now he has no chance to even be a dark horse.
6. Husky Harris
I was sooo hoping he was going home this week. I don't like this guy. He tries to be the "everyman". He says he's overweight and not in shape as part of his gimmick. I think it's pathetic. Also he's extremely sloppy in the ring and he's going to really hurt someone one day.
7. Eli Cottonwood
If Husky wasn't going to go home, I'm glad it was Cottonwood. He doesn't belong in a WWE ring. Go back down to FCW and get better please. He's sloppy in the ring, he can't talk and he's just blah. I'm happy to see him go and I'm glad the fans are realizing we have to start trimming the fat and getting to the GOOD wrestlers, not the crappy ones.
