NXT
3/2/12
Pre-show: Show squashed Stevens (67); Orton and Rollins put themselves over (69); Slater thinks Williams can beat Bourne YES! (50)
-Match: Bourne v. Williams
Williams isn’t entirely lost out there, but he can’t handle Bourne, either.
Rating: 61
-Barrett and Daivari cut a promo saying that Daivari should’ve been the one to get the MitB opportunity instead of Dutt! Dutt and Parka object to that, but we’ll see.
Rating: 46
-Match: Parka v. Daivari
La Parka with the UPSET WIN
Rating: 52
-Darren Young thinks this season of NXT is STUPID and he or any of his season 1 buddies could beat ANY OF THESE PUNKS and if he can’t then he QUITS. Colt Cabana of all people takes him up on the challenge.
Rating: 56
-Match: Cabana v. Young
Colt beat this guy once, and he beats him again.
Rating: 60
-Match: Dutt v. Barrett
Dutt fights well, but secretly Barrett is a bit more credible as a Pro than Parka.
Rating: 67
-Barrett keeps up the assault after the bell’s rung, and Daivari runs in to help out! Parka makes the save with a chair, but not before Dutt’s been seriously hurt.
Rating: 50
-Match: Orton/Rollins v. Edwards/Mordecai
Hotly contested, but Orton’s experience wins the day.
Rating: 68
Post-show: Young is escorted from the building by security (50); AJ d. Maryse (45)
Overall: 62 LOL ANGLES
Dutt, Parka overused
FROM THE BOOKERMAN
-HOLY CRAP I ACTUALLY LET SOMEBODY GO. I just didn’t see the upside to Young. He’s pretty mediocre, getting too old to improve a whole lot over time, not buddies with anybody, and taking up undercard space I very much don’t have.
-La Parka push is go?
-I am getting tired of this show. >_> Realizing it was never gonna air in the US and get my guys over kinda tanked my interest. It might revert to superstars after this season, because I am up to my ears in talented young jobbers anyway.
NEWSWIRE
-Impact garnered a 78, with a good six-man tag in the ME following a solid Styles/Joe bout.
-Lanny Poffo, Mysterio Sr., and Doink the Clown will be retiring soon.
SMACKDOWN
3/2/12
Pre-show: Gail promos on Beth (70); Hunico/Mordecai d. Usos (58); Rock puts over Ryder and Show as equalizers (91)
-Laurinitis is starting the show by calling out Taker. He asks Taker to reconsider his decision about Wrestlemania, and insinuates Taker is afraid of putting his streak on the line in a handicap match. Taker comes out to stare at Laurinitis, but remains stoic. Laurinitis shows the clip of the attack on Kane, and asks if that makes Taker mad. Taker doesn’t respond.
Rating: 69
-Laurinitis has one more thing up his sleeve, and the tron shows a bedraggled Teddy backstage! Awesome Truth are beating him down! Taker starts to stir a bit, but still doesn’t seem like he’s going to give in. Laurinitis heaps insult upon insult onto Taker, again calling him a coward who knows he’d lose to these two upstarts. Taker finally snaps, and Tombstones Laurinitis into the ground!
