So..what's NXT?! (See what I did there?)

If you will, allow me to step outside my music 'ish for a second and switch topics to that of another love of mine; sports entertainment. Yes, the boy Koffee Blakk is a wrestling fan.

 

Wait for it...

 

"But KB! Wrestling's fake!"

 

Um..no...really? So is 95% of the rap game that you love so much. So is 95% of the so-called "reality television" that you all clamor in front of your cheap TVs for. Get off mah' jock!

 

Seriously though, I've been watching the then-World Wrestling Federation, now-World Wrestling Entertainment since I was a young'n. You can even throw in more than few WcW shows as well, especially since I favored it over WWF at the time. Shoot, back when my Grandfather still had both legs, and would stand in front the only TV that was in the house at the time in his white flannel and boxers. His time was spent hogging the TV and shadow boxing with Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan.

 

Different times eh?

 

Anyway, fast forward to today and I've seen my fair share of live shows for both WWE and TNA, mostly the latter with the mrs, and of course, I've also managed to discover(through the wonderful world of the internet) the world outside of WWF/E. From that point on, I was always interested in upcoming stars to see who would be the first to change the dynamic of the main US promotions that I had access to on my television.

 

Now WWE is giving their "Universe" just that. An oppurtunity to see the latest batch of potential "WWE" stars with their new show "NXT". 

 

The show features of all people PUNK of I Love New York fame, aka David Otunga aka Jennifer Hudson's Baby Daddy, amongst other "Rookies" as they're called. One of which is actually a pretty well known and probably knowelagble of the group, "Daniel Bryan" aka Brian Danielson (Google the guy, he's freakin' awesome even if he is sorta goofy lookin'.). The only other two that I'd say watch out for would be Justin Gabriel (PJ Black) and Heath Slater. They also showed an immense amt. of potential and I hope that when this "season" ends that those 4 at least find their places on the main roster.  I mean, I'd throw Michael Tarver in the mix but since the days of Ken Shamrock and Steve Blackman, WWE really hasn't had much need for the MMA-type even with the UFC yippin' @ their heels. Here's some examples; Sylvester Terkay? Vladimr Kozlov in his early beginnings? Heck, let's go with the misusage of Santino freakin' Marella -- you have Youtube, look it up!

 

Either way, I was impressed with the first episode of NXT enough to post up about it, and honestly, if you ain't doin' jack on Tuesday Nights, then yous hould check it out. I give it the Koffee Stamp of Approval.

 

1ne!
