During the season finale of NXT, WWE revealed the upcoming pros and rookies pairings for season two. They are:
- Husky Harris (Windham Rotunda, son of I.R.S.) with Cody Rhodes
- Eli Cottonwood with John Morrison.
- Percy Watson with MVP
- Titus O’Neal with Zack Ryder
- Kaval (Low-Ki in ROH, Senshi in TNA) with Michelle McCool and Layla
- Lucky Cannon with Mark Henry
- Michael McGillicutty (Joe Hennig, son of Mr. Perfect) with Kofi Kingston
- Alex Riley with The Miz
There’s some interesting talent here. Right away I’m drawn to Low-Ki, who had some excellent matches in ROH and TNA. I’m curious to see how LayCool will try to put him over. Even though Percy Watson proclaims to be a ladies’ man, his character is clearly flaming. Harris and McGillicutty have big shoes to fill (especially McGillicutty).
NXT is actually my favorite WWE program at the moment simply because I don’t know what to expect each week. SmackDown and Raw have become so predictable. Outside of Chris Jericho’s excellent work, the shows are just kind of…there for me now.
Anyway, let me know what you think of the new NXT pairings when you have a chance.
What channel and day of week/time, this sounds interesting.
Damn… the perfect offspring.
I need a new show to obsess over on Tuesdays. Maybe i'll make NXT it.
I miss Lost.
:(
I think he should go by Joe Hennig!
Looking forward to it.
I just looked at the preview for season 2 and these guys look like they have much more potential than the guys on season 1. Why don't Mr. Perfect's son use the Henning name? Micheal McGillicutti is lame.
@RROD
only reason i could think of is that he wants to make it on his own but i agree i would love to see an updated version of a Mr. Perfect storyline.
@Big Blak It's on Tuesdays on SyFy. 10PM ET for you, I believe.
@RRODisHere I think Perfect's son is screwed no matter what he does. I don't see how he can measure up to his dad.
@ RAY
Thanks dude.
@ray
you are absolutely correct sir…mr perfect was the finest wrestler to ever enter the squared circle….
@Raymond Padilla
Agreed. Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase Jr. will never live up the American Dream and the Million Dollar Man either but at least they were smart enough to capitalize on the names.
I'm really interested in seeing Eli Cottonwood in action. Judging from his promo he moves pretty good for a 7 footer, unlike Khali.
I also can't STAND Low-ki!
