“We are wild…and young!”
A moment in time so incredible that it has both been remembered & forgotten, and then remembered again, over the course of the last 16 years. It’s time for us to head back to the world of NXT, during an era where the WWE just really wanted to make some people look really dumb on television.
NXT Season 2 comes to an end here on this episode, and we get to find out who is the NEXT BREAKOUT WWE SUPERSTAR! They can only be so lucky. Not Lucky Cannon, though. Who in the end did the best keg races, and kissing, and punching a bag, and running around the ring, and cutting a promo?! Will it be Kaval, Michael McGillicutty, or Alex Riley?
During the night, we are also introduced to the participants of the next season of NXT, which is an all divas season.
There is so little wrestling on this show, like really none at all. We get one match, with all of the finalists in a triple-threat contest. Their job is to win the match but also impress the WWE Pros (Cody Rhodes, Zack Ryder, MVP, Kofi Kingston, Michelle McCool & Layla, Mark Henry, John Morrison, & The Miz) that are watching (kinda) on the stage. Of course, all of the losers of this season are at ringside, including Husky Harris (Bray Wyatt), Percy Watson, Eli Cottonwood, Titus O’Neil, and Lucky Cannon (?).
There are some big time moments on this, including Michael McGillicutty’s greatest speech of all time, and the complete disaster of a show-ending angle.
All of that, and SO much more, on this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast.
