NXT Finale Preview

This season of NXT has been a different kind of season and the finale approaches tomorrow night, unlike last season, there is clear winner. Which is why I'm going to talk about the top three, who I think should win, deserves to win and needs to win.

Kaval (my official pick)
If this truly is voted on by the fans and the internet vote means anything, he will win this show. Does he deserve it? Yes. Does he need it? Definately. I don't think he will last long in the WWE without the NXT winner tag on his chest. I mean, he's amazing in the ring but I don't think the WWE would keep such a short superstar around that's name is not Rey Mysterio if they don't have a reason. The key if he wins, what belt does he go after? Honestly I would say the IC Title vs. Dolph Ziggler, even if you wanted to do at Survivor Series.

Michael McGillicutty
He can win this show, hands down. But does he really need to? No. I mean, he has made a character all his own and deserves to be in the spotlight, but he would have a job either way. He's Joe Henning, Curt Henning's son. I know he hasn't really played that card, but he wanted to he can play the 3rd generation card, team up with Ted DiBiase and will the tag belts. As a matter of fact, if he does win the show, that's what he should do.

Alex Riley
If this was last year's format, there is no doubt he would win. He's arrogant, a pain in the ass and he's Miz's boy, and Miz is the middle of the push of his life. But in this format, I don't think he can do it. He also doesn't need to win. He has the charisma to be a player in the business on his own. But if he does win, I think he'll go after the US Title, especially if Daniel Bryan beats Miz for it at NOC.  

Emmys 2010:Awesome Show...Terrible Picks

Last night was the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmys. First of all, I have to say that Jimmy Fallon did a great job as host. Much better than I expected, while I don't like the Jimmy Fallon show, I thought he was hilarious last night all the way around. Overall it was good show, dragged a bit at times during the mini-series/tv movie categories (they really have to move those to earlier in the show not right before the big two), but otherwise a fun night. Let's see how bad my pick turned out to be, judging how I never watch alot of primetime TV as it is.
