I enjoyed the final episode of NXT except for being kind of confused as to why Reilly was attacking Watson. I hope Kaval goes to Smackdown.

odd one this....

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/vickiealoisia

WWE Pro Vickie Guerrero has fired her NXT season three Rookie Diva, Aloisia.

Various sources are reporting that Guerrero, the temperamental Official Consultant of SmackDown, had an argument with her 6-foot-9 Rookie Diva over Vickie’s influence over Aloisia.

The news has left WWE NXT season three shaken before it’s even started. But when reached for comment, Guerrero stated she would reveal her new Rookie Diva on the WWE NXT season three premiere this Tuesday night at 10 p.m. ET on Syfy.

Perhaps the powers that be thought her wrestling skills weren't quite up to scratch (they signed her up v shortly before announcing her for season 3, IIRC, and nothing about WWE flying by the seat of its corporate pants would surprise me at this stage) and that she needs some time in FCW. In that case, I can see why they'd try and get some heel heat for Vickie out of the situation.

DM_7 · 04-09-2010 1:20pm

After watching NXT this week I hope the new nxt group is axed. Any credible chance they had went out the window with Alex Riley attacking Percy Watson. Does Riley wear contacts or soemthing? Maybe he didn't know it was Percy. Either way Percy should of bailed out of the ring.

Stupid.

They should just add Husky and Perfect jr into Nexus. Forget the rest of em.

I was thinking that maybe they realised that they'd have to make special arrangements for her transport from show to show. I'm not sure about Khali, but I know Big Show gets limousine transport :pac: Best evaluate her for longer in FCW. She can always be brought in at another point down the road..... I've seen some of her indy stuff, wow she can't wrestle. But give WWE a few months and they could teach her spots so they could just hide it every week on TV.

Aw but I want to hear Josh Matthews mark over an unstoppable giant woman every week.

Jolt2007 · 04-09-2010 7:21pm

Clearly D2D bribed Riley to attack Watson. It's the only explanation since he's far too talented and awwwwesome to have messed up.

Jesus just caught some indie stuff. She's dreadful - you cannot put that sh1te out on TV. I'd say they took one look at her in the flesh and saw she couldn't wrestle for buttons.

If there was any justification in the world it'd be on Television X or the Playboy Channel :pac:

TV.

This series with the ladies is only five weeks, but the next series when SD will be on SYFY, nobody knows. I don't think the channel wants two WWE shows and from all accounts nobody really wants the show as the ratings have been rubbish, so it will probably end up on WWE.Com.

Could they not just put it on a crap network then? Relatively speaking; if NXT was put on UKTV Gold it'd do that channel's best numbers :pac:

I guess they won't 'accept' a much less visible channel; i would suggest Spike but well, you know

D2D · 07-09-2010 10:05pm

Source and Source

- According to PWInsider.com, Lindsay Hayward, the 6-9, 240-pound woman given the name Aloisia for the third season of NXT, was actually dropped from the program due to erotic photos WWE officials uncovered of the giant grappler shortly after her television premiere last Tuesday.

The reported reason of Hayward being pulled from the program due to being deemed 'not ready' is said to be a cover excuse.

A set of photographs depict Hayward in a manner unbecoming to World Wrestling Entertainment's family friendly product.

The storyline reason given for Hayward's hastily dismissal from NXT was that Aloisia had been fired by her Pro, Vickie Guerrero, after an argument over her influence. Guerrero will reveal her new Rookie Diva during tonight's season 3 premiere.

Hayward currently remains under contract to WWE.

As usual, no links for pics

Well, SyFy were promised by WWE that the ratings for NXT would be higher than what ECW did when they signed up to show NXT. That didn't happen so SyFy opted out of signing NXT when they signed to show SmackDown from MyNetwork. I've heard on some podcast (think it was with Dave Meltzer on Live Audio Wrestling) that the WWE have/had offered NXT to BRAVO (the American version) and WGN America, which has Superstars, and many in WWE were supposedly high on having NXT on WGN since having 2 WWE programmes could boost their ratings from their average 0.5-0.6 rating.

bonerm · 09-09-2010 12:42am

Not a big wrestling fan here so sorry if this seems like a stupid question but is this news about Aloisia "real-real" or just part of some storyline? (ie yes I know the pix are real - I think she did them when she was 18 and broke - but is she really Persona non grata at WWE now or just part of some future storyline?).

Seem like a stupid reason to fire someone considering they're going for a job that involves them prancing around in a bikini half the time.

grames_bond · 09-09-2010 8:14am

god thse matches on nxt couldnt have been more botch filled! wwe are going to struggle to keep ratings up over the next 5 weeks if THATS the standards!

D2D · 13-09-2010 7:02pm

Finally got around to see the Season 3 premier. I'm probably the only one who actually enjoyed it. Sure, there was botches galore in it but honestly, since I had such low expectations on it, I really enjoyed the whole aspect to it.

I honestly can't wait to see the next episode:o:eek::D

cena · 29-09-2010 11:48am

Just read that Nxt is too be moved too the wwe website as it has no channel too take it up as the channel has taken smackdown

Read it on the pro wrestling torch app.

WWE has gone PG for real. The reason they give would be valid were it not for the fact that other women they hired since going PG have also modelled for Playboy. So it is a bit hypocritical. It could be a cover for her being beyond awful in the ring. That would not stop them hiring extremely good looking girls that can't wrestle, but Aloisia is, ahem, not exactly going to have 1000 ships launched over her beauty anytime soon

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-11-2010 1:04am

So A.J. was eliminated from the competition this week which means either Kaitlyn or Naomi will be the next 'breakout diva'. Quite harsh on A.J. since she clearly knows more about the business than the other two and actually had the best match of the series with Naomi earlier in the evening.

I suspect all three will end up on TV eventually anyway just like in previous seasons. I voted Kaitlyn to win as even though she lacks in-ring skills she has good charisma. Oh yeah and she's gorgeous.

Cole and Matthews were good again on commentary. Both were texting and playing computer games when the first trivia competition was taking place. Highlight of the show though was Michael Cole going apesh*t, J.R. style, over this move:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqJoYMTc4K4

'THE OCTOPUS! THE OCTOPUS! THE OCTOPUS! THE OCTOPUS! THE OCTOPUS! THE OCTOPUS! THE OCTOPUS! THE OCTOPUS! TAP OUT! TAP OUT! TAP OUT! GO TO SLEEP! DO WHATEVER YOU DO...AJ WINS!

I love Cole.

super182 · 26-11-2010 3:03am

Josh Matthews should replace Jerry Lawler on raw. Him and Cole are brilliant together.

Pentecost · 26-11-2010 1:03pm

Haven't seen much of this. AJ is nice, reasonable in the ring too by the looks of things. I'm sure they'll find room for her somewhere. Kaitlyn will win I'd imagine. Agreed on Cole and Matthews too, sounds like they're enjoying themselves.

Rjd2 · 26-11-2010 1:06pm

Sorry lads Kaitlyn looks like a man.

Aj and Naomi are so much more sexier though.

:)

Pentecost · 26-11-2010 1:16pm

AJ>Kaitlyn> Naomi if I were forced to choose! Surprisingly decent match between AJ and Naomi too I must say.

WWE officials have reportedly discussed having the next season of NXT, the fifth, to feature Rookies with their WWE Legend fathers. Some of the father and son teams WWE could have access to include Brett & Ted DiBiase, Richie & Ricky Steamboat, Bo & Mike Rotundo, among others.

jaykhunter · 16-02-2011 11:21am

This week's NXT is quite enjoyable -- although it's probably only 25 minutes long if you cut out the rock's promo segment recap.

Capped off by an enjoyable match between DB and DB

Part of the reason WWE is keeping NXT around is because they still have international TV clearances for the show. Season 5 will begin this Tuesday night.

starviewadams · 02-03-2012 2:09am

Anybody still watching this?probably my favourite WWE show at the moment,has the perfect mix of storylines/skits and good wrestling matches.Plus William Regal is immense on commentary,and he's the GM now too.

The regulars on the show are all of a decent standard (besides Titus O'Neill who is horrible!)but Johnny Curtis and Derrick Bateman are the two standouts for me,both of them have much more well defined characters then most of the mid-carders on Raw or SD!,and Maxine is more entertaining then just about every other diva on the roster.

A great little show all round,hopefully auld Vince remains uninterested in it for the foreseable future!

DM_7 · 02-03-2012 1:16pm

I stopped watching it as Titus and Young are terrible.

might give it another chance now Regal is even more involved.

Charisteas · 02-03-2012 4:24pm

Yeah I stopped watching ages ago and it's now fallen behind Ring Ka King in my list of priorities, although I can always try and make time for Willy Regal.

Is Regal face or heel? Not that it matters, he's a legend either way.

Why has season 5 gone on for so long. I stopped watching after it stopped series linking on sky one night. I thought it was no longer on sky when it wasn't recording.

I reckon the contract is for NXT, rather than WWE programming. WWE probably dont want the bother of starting a new season with new guys so are just leaving the current one running for as long as they can.
