NXT Generation | Re-imagining the Beginning

Re: NXT Generation | Re-imagining the Beginning

I'll admit I skimmed that main event. That makes sense. I also assumed face painted super babyface Uso's so I didn't expect that. Mentally I was imagining like 2013-2014 for this since I didn't follow NXT this early. 2011 NXT, got it.

I missed that part as well where they left him.

NXT Generation Wrestling
December 14th, 2011









Opening

We are looking back into the General Manager's office with Dusty Rhodes and William Regal.


Dusty Rhodes: The second week of greatness is here, baby. Welcome back to NXT! Boy, do I have some big announcements for you all here today. Like I began to say last week, I understand NXT will need championships here soon. I have a proposition. I will not be announcing any plans of championships until the beginning of next year, but I do have news regarding championships. There will be a beginning of four championships over the course of the next few years. Regal, would you like to continue?


William Regal: It would be my honor. In NXT wins and losses matter. Starting last week we began keeping tabs on the wins and losses of superstars here in NXT. We want to make sure we are awarding the superstars that are proving themselves day in and out. That is why for our first championship we will unveil next month will not be the World Championship of NXT, but yet something for the superstars here to go after and try to win, like the Intercontinental Championship or the United States Championship on Raw and Smackdown.


Dusty Rhodes: This is the long con, baby. That is why with the wins and losses records being shown, in time the two with the best records will eventually meet in a singles match for the NXT World Heavyweight Championship down the line. Records for superstars restart at the first event of the new year. The records here in this month will only be good for this month, but will go down as lifetime records. Now for tonight, baby. We have lots of loaded talent coming to play!

Video Package

A video comes on showing off Richie Steamboat. He says that he might be the son of the legend, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. He does use the arm-drags, the cross-bodies but also so much more. He doesn't want people to compare him to his father, but compare him to everyone else and cheer for him because of how he is, not because of his father.

Singles Match
Richie Steamboat vs. Cedrick Von Hausse

Richie begins this match with some mat wrestling and eventually connects with a couple of arm drags. Richie would connect with a few dropkicks before heading up top and connecting with a cross-body for a two count. Cedrick attempts to hit Richie, but Richie ducks and runs the ropes before connecting with a sling-blade. 3:44

Spoiler

Winner: Richie Steamboat (1-0)

Vignette

Kassius Ohno. A KO artist. If someone comes near me, they better know what their plan is. If I lock a hold on them, they better get to the ropes before something SNAPS! When I swing, they better duck or else...K-O! I am Kassius Ohno, and I am coming soon...

Singles Match
CJ Parker vs. Garrett Dylan

Parker begins the match with some nice dropkicks stumbling Dylan. Dylan manages to fight back and hit some big body slams onto Parker. Parker and Dylan continue to work over each other...WHAT!? That's...that's Brodus Clay! Clay enters the ring and utterly destroys Parker and Dylan. Brodus picks up Parker and plants him with a Samoan Drop. He then picks up Dylan and connects with a running powerslam! 4:01

Spoiler

No Contest

After the Match

Brodus Clay: I am not here in the WWE to be a dancing idiot. I am here in the WWE to be a MONSTER! I am not Brodus Clay, I am...Brodus. I am the most feared competitor here, and I am going to show it. Watch me.

Video Package

We get a video of Corey Graves. Graves talks about how he is going to come in and cleanse NXT of all of the fake people in his way. He does not think anyone is up for the challenge of Graves, and he is going to show that, next.

Singles Match
Corey Graves vs. Kaval

Graves and Kaval come right out of the gate with some stiff strikes. Kaval gets the early upper hand over Graves and connects with some leaping kicks. Graves manages to work away from Kaval and lure him into a drop toe hold into the middle turnbuckle. Graves would go to work over Kaval a good amount until Kaval got Graves onto the apron, and hit a sunset flip powerbomb onto the outside! Grave just BARELY doesn't beat the count back in! 8:50

Spoiler

Winner by count out: Kaval (1-0)

Backstage

Matt Striker: My guest tonight is, Roman Reigns. Now, Roman last we...


Roman Reigns: One second Jeff, I am getting a phone call from my agent. What's up? Yeah, nothing much. Just with a fan again, I think they are getting too close and person with me and looking at my big watch. You think so? Yeah, I can come film for a few weeks, I am not doing anything relevant here anyway.


~ Matt Striker looks very confused as Roman Reigns walks away.

Singles Match
Tamina Snuka vs. Kaitlyn

Tamina tries her power stuff but results in a chop to take Kaitlyn down instead. Kaitlyn leg whips her down and things slow down again. Now it’s a flying chop to mix things up. Kaitlyn hooks a kind of abdominal stretch in the ropes to take over.

Bulldog gets two for Kaitlyn and she hooks a bodyscissors on the mat. Tamina gets up and hits a spinning hair grab to slam Kaitlyn into the mat. Tamina tries the splash but Kaitlyn grabs her leg. A Russian legsweep puts Tamina down and Kaitlyn hooks an arm hold while using her legs to hold down Tamina’s head. Tamina is like SAMOA POWER and uses a Samoan Drop to escape. Superfly Splash gets the pin at 5:20

Spoiler

Winner: Tamina Snuka (1-0)

Backstage

What is going on!? Seth Rollins and Ryan Ziggler are in a huge heated argument! Here comes Bo Dallas to try and cool things down, but also here comes Derek Bateman, Johnny Curtis, Curtis Axel and Brad Maddox.

Dusty Rhodes comes by and tells everyone to COOL IT, baby. We have two match slots left for tonight, and he knows how he is going to use them. He is going to have Seth Rollins and Bo Dallas team up with to go against Ryan Ziggler and Brad Maddox. He also decides that Bateman, Curtis and Axel seem like they all want a fight. They teamed up last week, and this week they will fight each other in a triple threat to main event our show!

Tag Team Match
Ryan Ziggler & Brad Maddox vs. Seth Rollins & Bo Dallas

Maddox and Dallas open the match, we see some good tag moments between Maddox and Ziggler as they work over Dallas to begin this match. Dallas would eventually hit a back body drop onto Maddox and hit Ziggler off the apron. Dallas would crawl and tag in Rollins as Maddox tags in Ziggler. Rollins would hit a rapid fire of moves onto Ziggler, and Maddox tries to enter the ring but eats a SPEAR by Bo! Nice spin kick by Rollins who hits the Blackout onto Ziggler! 5:47

Spoiler

Winners: Seth Rollins (2-0) & Bo Dallas (2-0)

Vignette

We are the darkness of the night. We are the shadows you see following you. We are...The Ascension! Connor O'Brien...Kenneth Camerson...we feed on the weak, and seek out the strong! We return to feast...next week!

Triple Threat Match
Johnny Curtis vs. Curtis Axel vs. Derek Bateman

Curtis Axel and Johnny Curtis double team Bateman out of the ring to begin the match. Axel and Curtis work over each other. Bateman returns with a missile dropkick taking them both down. Axel rolls to the outside. Johnny Curtis and Derek Bateman now go into a brutal fight! Curtis gets Bateman out of the ring, but Axel with a roll-up! Match is not over yet. Johnny works over Axel and catches him with a Falcon Arrow! Bateman catches Johnny Curtis from behind with a bulldog driver! Bateman covers Axel! 9:02

Spoiler

Winner: Derek Bateman (2-0)

Vignette

What? That was the main event, what is this...


There is a pale horse on the horizon and the rider, his name is Bray Wyatt. You people, you don't even know but your are on the brink of judgement day and I am the reaper. Don't get me wrong, man, you see I love you. I truly do, I love you. But I will not save your world, man. I wanna watch it burn. I wanna watch it fry. And you, my people, i want you to take my hand and stand inside the flames with me. And then together in the air we will rejoice as a family and we will dance on the ashes. Forever.

Time is on my side.

Re: NXT Generation | Re-imagining the Beginning

Wow this roster is awesome. Nice to see Graves, Kaval, Brodus, first run Kassius Ohno, and Richie Steamboat. I was actually gonna suggest you use Richie before I saw him on the roster page, he's definitely a great "what if" scenario to explore.

Also the Roman gimmick is great. Would've like to see that one play out irl instead of... whatever we got with Roman Reigns.

Great show!

Edit: Oooh the rankings. That's awesome! Lol.

I LOVE this roster, man. These first two shows have been a ton of fun. I'm playing my 1995 on right now to put out the Raw after the Rumble, but I might go back and play week three of this and post it today because its been so much fun lol.

Richie is one I liked a lot during the beginning of NXT. Sucks injuries did him in and he is STILL so young, like 33?

THIS is what Roman should have been. I'm literally taking his NXT run and just amping it up a little more. I mean, I'm cool with what The Shield was, but I don't think if they never formed things would be that much different. All three of them are talented enough to be the stars they are without The Shield.

I'm glad you like the rankings! I had to edit the HTML but it worked out, lol. I think I'll only add people on there that have wins, and eventually I will have a singles, tag teams and women's. I just wanted to show what it'll look like!

Re: NXT Generation | Re-imagining the Beginning

I gotta agree with Smoove.

I love the roster. I love the early days of things.

I love the cocky, arrogant Reigns gimmick.

I'm intrigued by what Bray Wyatt is going to be this early in NXT.

I am very interested in this.

Re: NXT Generation | Re-imagining the Beginning

So...for the guy who doesn't know the difference... who are you going to portray differently than what they were in real life at this point? Obviously, from what you're all saying, Reigns. Who else?

Lol, all good.

Roman Reigns is in his NXT character, not his main roster character that you might know.

Brodus Clay turning into Brodus is different, especially around this time frame.

Then, I don't think I have really portrayed anyone too differently than their real life counterparts quite yet?


Edit: Ryan Ziggler and Brad Maddox are completely different than real life around this time.

Curtis Axel is Michael McGillicutty, I just changed his name sooner rather than later.

Opening

Jim Ross: Hello everyone and welcome back to episode three of NXT! We are seeing the next generation of talent here in the WWE, and if the first two weeks were any indication, this week is going to be a slobberknocker!


William Regal: Oh, JR, you are very right about that. Tonight we get to see the in-ring debut of Kassius Ohno, the return of The Ascension, and much more! I am getting word we are going to hear from our leader, Dusty Rhodes.


Dusty Rhodes: Welcome everyone to NXT, baby. Tonight's main event is going to be a doozy, yah hear me! We will be seeing a main roster star in Drew McIntyre take on our own Richie Steamboat! Now, let's get some action underway!

Video Package

We are shown a video of a safari, all around there is this mumbling. "For honor...everything, is about to change. *laughs* I can't wait to meet all my new friends *laughs* I have so much to share with them *laughs* this is going to be special *laughs* ta-da." The debut of Leo Kruger is coming up next!

Singles Match
Leo Kruger vs. Jiro

Kruger stalks Jiro around the ring before luring him in for a grapple, but Kruger connects with a abdomen kick. Kruger then works over the neck of Jiro for a good portion of the match. Kruger then begins to work over the left arm of Jiro. Jiro attempts a clothesline to get out of this, but Kruger twists Jiro's arm in a counter, and puts him into the GC3 submission! 3:44

Spoiler

Winner: Leo Kruger (1-0)

Vignette

I was raised in Lafayette, Louisiana. My daddy...my daddy kept me on his old shrimp boat. I hated my daddy. He was a mean old man, my daddy. He took eight year old Bray Wyatt out of schooooooool. He didn't think I needed to learn or be around other kids. But...then randomly one day. My daddy's boat...my daddy's boat caught on fire, yes it did. And it sunk him down to the dang old sea with him. Then, I went away. I went away for AWHILE *laughs*. But, Bray Wyatt, tells himself he is finally FREE! Bray Wyatt taught himself how to read! It started out with See Spot Run, Clifford that big old Red Dog, then it was the Good Book mostly after that. And I learned...I learned a lot of things, I learned how the world likes to throw away a little white trash peon like Bray Wyatt...but let me tell you something. I ain't no white trash. I ain't no peon, neither. I am better than you all. And I wouldn't want to be that guy...that guy, that first guy who has to get in the ring with me, man, I wouldn't want to be you. Because I am going to take pleasure in watching you burn, man. *laughs* Just like my daddy. Come with me.

~TIIIIIIME IS ONNNNN MYYYYY side.~

Singles Match
Kassius Ohno vs. Rick Viktor

We are getting the in-ring debut of the K-O artist, Kassius Ohno. Viktor tries to come in hot and work over Ohno, but Kassius hits some stiff elbows knocking Rick down. Ohno would hit some brutal looking kicks to the head of Viktor. Rick would try to get up, but a rolling elbow spells the end for Rick Viktor. 2:02

Spoiler

Winner: Kassius Ohno (1-0)

Video Package

We get a bold video of Brodus doing super heavy lifting, and saying that NXT has a monster on the loose, and nobody is going to be able to stop it!

Singles Match
Brodus vs. Garrett Dylan

Brodus comes charging out of the gate and crushes Dylan into the corner! T-Bone Suplex! IT'S OVER!? 0:22

Spoiler

Winner: Brodus

After the Match

Brodus isn't done it looks like. He picks up Dylan and plants him again with a T-Bone suplex! Now a big splash! Brodus has made an impact here in NXT.

Vignette

We hear about the strongman, Big E Langston. He talks how victory doesn't mean as much to him as to others. It is the way on how he defeats his opponents. He plans on out-powering every man he ever comes into the ring with, and he is coming soon.

Singles Match
Kaval vs. Oliver Grey

Kaval opens up the match with a leaping knee strike! Grey manages to kick out of two. This match would then turn into a highly competitive match. Kaval would get in most of the offense, but seeing Grey take on punishment and not give up has the fans rooting for him over Kaval. Grey would hit a few dropkicks and a running shooting star for a two. Kaval would kip-up and connect with a super kick. Kaval would head up top and hit a frog-splash to end the match. 7:19

Spoiler

Winner: Kaval (2-0)

After the Match

Corey Graves hits the ring. He talks to Kaval, and then he says what Kaval just did. Graves will do better next week against Grey.

Backstage

We get an interview with Paige. Paige says that she is the anti-diva of the WWE. But do you know what I am? A wrestler. But I want more. See, this is a message to all you Divas, even you, on the main roster. This is a promise, because sooner rather than later I will be the most dominant Anti-Diva to ever walk through the WWE. I will make history - as a wrestler. Natalya, I want that rematch, because next time, I won't lose.

Tag Team Match
The Ascension vs. Dante Dash & Adam Mercer

Cameron starts the match by working over Mercer. Connor enters in and shows his big man abilities by throwing Mercer all over the ring. Kenneth and O'Brien share some tags and beat down on Mercer. Kenneth would throw Adam over to Dash, who tags in and tries to mount some offense, but this was a lure, and O'Brien is in the ring and The Ascension hit Fall of Man onto Dash. 5:19

Backstage

Seth Rollins has a quick interview backstage. Rollins says that he is looking forward to some action next week, and he is excited to see how his opponent is.

Singles Match
Richie Steamboat vs. Drew McIntyre

Steamboat comes out hot catching McIntyre with many arm drags. McIntyre uses his power to slow down the match for a few minutes hitting some nice short clotheslines. Steamboat would battle back and hit a great running cross-body for a two. Steamboat would work McIntyre into the corner, but Drew would head up top to hit a missile dropkick. McIntyre would try for Future Shock DDT, but Steamboat would counter with a tear-drop suplex for a close two! McIntyre would fight back and hit a huge powerbomb leaving both men down. Richie would beat down McIntyre and hit a swinging neckbreaker for another two count. Richie would head up top and go for a cross-body, but McIntyre moved!

Singles Match
Brodus vs. CJ Parker

CJ Parker makes his way down to the ring as it looks like he was the first person Regal saw after that attack! Parker dodges the running charge Brodus caught Dylan with last week.

Brodus would hit a running splash into the corner which led to the T-Bone suplex. 3:57

Spoiler

Backstage

Dusty Rhodes: Brodus! That was unacceptable! You are here by suspended for three weeks without pay! We will not have people act that way here on NXT, we will not be a show that operates that way. If this happens again, Brodus will be gone!

Ringside

Jim Ross: Things are pretty shaken up out here. The medical staff are checking on the young, CJ Parker. We will give any medical updates we receive throughout the show. Let's...let's get back to some action and try to get past this.

Singles Match
Kassius Ohno vs. Jake Carter

Jake Carter is the son of Hall of Famer, Vader. Carter is not going to be an easy win for Ohno as he has counters for the savvy veteran. Ohno does catch Carter with a stiff front-up kick. Which would allow Ohno to connect with his rolling elbow for the K-O! 6:00

Spoiler

Winner: Kassius Ohno (2-0)

Backstage

We get an interview with Johnny Curtis. Curtis says that he is excited to be in NXT, and he is wanting to compete against all of the talent down here as he thinks that is going to make him continue to be above the rest. Curtis Axel comes into scene and takes that line as an insult. Johnny Curtis tells him if he took it as an insult, it is one. They get into each other's face until Axel tells Johnny he will see him in the ring next week!

Singles Match
Corey Graves vs. Oliver Grey

Grey works a very smart match against Graves early on. They do a lot of grapple work to begin the match which leads to Grey getting over Graves quite often. Graves would eventually hit a dirty kick to the left knee while going for a lock-up. This would lead to Corey to beat down Grey. Graves would put Grey into the Fuller Leg-Lock and force Grey to submit. 7:14

Spoiler

Winner: Corey Graves (1-1)

After the Match

Kaval slow claps making his way down the ramp. Graves and him get face to face. William Regal gets up from this booth and states that he has heard word from Dusty Rhodes. The main event next week will be Kaval and Corey Graves in a No Disqualification Match!

Video Package

We get a workout montage of Big E Langston. He keeps stating that 3 ain't enough man, I need 5. Three reps? Not enough. A three count? NOT ENOUGH! Big E Langston is coming soon.

Singles Match
Seth Rollins vs. Chad Baxter

Rollins hits a dropkick to open the match. Baxter would try to mount some offense and work over Rollins for some of this match, but Rollins would hit God's Last Gift for a close two. Rollins would hop right up and connect with Blackout. 3:45

Spoiler

Winner: Seth Rollins (3-0)

Video Package

We get a video for Bo Dallas. He says that he loves to smile, but once he gets down to that ring, it is time for him to show who is the better man. He might be a smiley guy backstage, but don't let that fool you. Bo Dallas is a winner, and he comes from a great family. His dad is IRS, and he knows how to win.

Singles Match
Paige vs. Ivelisse

Paige works over Ivelisse very well to begin the match. Ivelisse does come back and work over Paige in the corner. Paige hits some lethal elbows before picking up Ivelisse and hitting what she calls the RAM-Paige. 4:02

Spoiler

Winner: Paige (1-1)

After the Match

Paige gets on the microphone after the match, and says that she wants Natalya! She is pissed because Natty never comes out.

Singles Match
Derek Bateman vs. Tyler Breeze

This is a solid match-up. Breeze works over a little more cocky than what we have seen from him. Bateman would hit some tremendous looking dropkicks for close counts. Breeze would try to work back into this match, but Bateman has his number tonight. Bateman would finish off Breeze with Sweet Meat Sizzler. 6:43

Spoiler

Winner: Derek Bateman (3-0)

After the Match

Bateman is looking very confused at the TitanTron.

In 5000 years from now, people will still be talking about the things that Bray Wyatt did. In 5000 years from now, children will still be learning about me in school. 5000 years from now, everything won't be the same. They will arguing about me, man. They will arguing about "Did Bray Wyatt ever truly exist at all?" Am I just a fairytale? I'll assure you, man I am very, very real. To the People, man you still want to be afraid of me? And you should be, man. We all need something to be afraid of after all, right? But mother, tell your children not to walk my way. Tell your children not to hear my words, what they mean, what they say, mother.

Well class, class may I ask you a question or two, please class? Is there anyone out there, is there anyone out there in this rotten world who would get their hands dirty for you the way that I will? No, man. Is there anyone out there in this world that will love you and accept you for who you are no matter where you been or what you've done the way that I will? No, man. Still, you want to be afraid of me but you shouldn't, 'cause I am an angel in the dirt. And if you want to find hell with me than I will show you, man, I will show you what hell is like.

Re: NXT Generation | Re-imagining the Beginning

Vince McMahon: Bard! How the hell are yah?


Bard: Hey, Vince. I am doing pretty damn good. I have been enjoying my time working with our young talents down in NXT.


Vince McMahon:That is good to hear. I have been very impressed with the numbers your show has produced over the past month, keep up the good work. Okay, how do you want to give me your analysis of the roster?


Bard: Personally, this is a development project, so I won't speak on the people who need work, or that I feel are not progressing well, because well that would be a lot of people! So I am going to give my top five, if I have that many in these skills. Work Rate, Promo, and look/character.


Work Rate:

1. Kaval
- He has had two matches so far with us, but damn he is miles ahead of everyone. His matches are so fluid, and it is honestly a joy to see him in the ring. I hear he has an attitude problem, but I haven't had a worry about him yet. He is in the main event next week against a kid I am excited about in a No DQ match.

2. Seth Rollins
- He has been on fire since coming onto the scene in NXT. I know you are not very familiar with his work, but if I could compare his moveset to anyone, it would be closest to a hybrid of CM Punk and RVD.

3. Bo Dallas
- This kid is green, do not get me wrong. IRS' kid, like Bray Wyatt, or as you know, Husky Harris. Bo has a really...interesting presence about him, but this is about his in-ring work. He is very young, but boy does he know what he is doing. He does a quick side-plex as a finisher that gets a nice pop, and he displayed a random awesome spear a few weeks ago. I am very excited for this kid.

4. The Ascension | Connor O'Brien and Kenneth Cameron
- These two work great together. Connor is a big guy, but it looks like he can talk a little bit, more on that in a minute. Kenneth is the total package for a prospect. He is near Kaval good in the ring, but I think I want to see this tag team for a good while before we even think about splitting them up.

5. Richie Steamboat
- What can I say? He is his father's kid. He flies all over the ring, the crowd pops for his energy, and his moves are so fluid. Give him another year in NXT, and he will come up and be the main stay in your mid-card and maybe even sneak his way into the main event scene.



Promo:

1. Bray Wyatt
- This guy has not even made it into the arena yet and his promos are sucking the crowd in! He is so good on the microphone, that even everyone backstage is just immersed into what he is saying. He has been working a lot with Dusty Rhodes, and it is really showing. I remember him as Husky Harris, so his ring work is sloppy, but man, this kid can talk.

2. Roman Reigns
- Another guy who has yet to even have a match yet. He captures the cocky, arrogant style so well. He is a relative of The Rock, the brother of Rosey from 3-Minute Warning and with Hurricane for reference. His work as Leakee down in FCW was not bad at all, but I do need to find a new finisher for him, that weird bulldog is not going to work as a finisher in NXT.

3. The Ascension
- They make my list again. Connor is a little green on the microphone and in the ring, but he shows so much promise. This is, again, where Kenneth rises. He gets everyone to listen in to his words, and he has actually been writing everything himself as well. This dark, edgy character team is going to be big one day.

4. Kaval
- He is still a little green on the microphone, but you can tell he has been doing this for awhile now. He just has the ring presence to him where he is exciting in the ring and good enough with the stick.

5. Paige
- This one shocked the hell out of me. She is a great worker from the look of her last match, and can really talk. She has a lot of work to do overall, but I see big time money in this diva, or should I say...anti-diva?




Look/Character:

This one I will keep simple, you can see them and see why I am using this as a list.

1. Roman Reigns

2. The Ascension

3. Paige

4. Richie Steamboat

5. Derek Bateman

Re: NXT Generation | Re-imagining the Beginning

Awesome awesome job. It's a lot to cover but I read it all. I'm liking Brodus, Kaval/Graves, the Wyatt promos. Great use of Mcintyre and Steamboat in that main event. Also Big E is coming!

Plus I totally agree with just about everything in that Vince report. Skimming that roster there's some huge names still yet to pop up. I'm not sure how you're gonna fit them all.

ps- rankings post went a little wonky with your recent edit.

Plus I totally agree with just about everything in that Vince report. Skimming that roster there's some huge names still yet to pop up. I'm not sure how you're gonna fit them all.

ps- rankings post went a little wonky with your recent edit.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it!

There is a lot, but there is also SUPPOSED to be a lot, lol. Why some people won't be used for weeks at a time, but I'll typically try to write them off. Like Brodus being suspended for three weeks, and Roman going to do something for his agent. It writes them off for some time, and allows me to introduce more characters.

The Vince report will probably end up being my favorite thing I do in this, lol. They'll be a once in a month thing at the end of the month where Bard updates him. Also where other stuff will be talked about later on.

I thought that would happen! Tapatalk hates HTML. I'll edit that when I get home!
