Random Stupid Quote Of The Week: "I'm trying to think of something nice to say, but I want to punch hm in the face." -Mr. Regal about Jacob Novak's rap.

 

Before I begin I wanna give a shoutout to vampiro138 of The Crap Message Board for coming up with exciting, brand new Luchadore El Scott-o Hall-o with Kevin Nash as his Pro for NXT Season 6.

 

A reminder on the Pro's...

 

Lucky Cannon (w/robe) with Tyson Kidd

Byron Saxton with Yoshi Tatsu

Jacob Novak with JTG

Titus O'Neil with Hornswoggle

Darren Young with Chavo Guerrero

Conor O'Brian with Vladimir Kozlov

 

The rookies and pro's come out. The rookies go to the ring, while the Pro's stay on the stage.

 

William Regal is still speaking way too softly. Please, someone, turn up his mic.

 

A new prize has been added. Not only does the winner of NXT: Redemption get to go on to NXT Season 6 (WHYYYY?!?!?!), but they get to choose their pro. So, the winner should pick Randy Orton or John Cena. However I am seeing R-Truth. No offense to R-Truth.

 

We begin with the Talk The Talk Challenge for 2 Redemption Points. Each Rookie gets 45 seconds to talk about themselves.

 

Jacob Novak started with a very awkward rap. JTG was thrilled. No one else was. The fans booed until Novak told the fans to yell, which they did, before they started booing again.

 

Darren Young went outside the ring and talked about stealing the competition. There was a fan in the front row wearing a nice suit, which stood out.

 

Conor O'Brian wants to be real. He has a big dream and he is living the dream of all the fans.

 

Byron Saxtonn started by saying that he has a hampster named Speedy. Unlike Lucky Cannon (w/robe), he did not get his wardrobe from Lady Gaga.

 

Lucky Cannon (w/robe) shushed everyone. Of course that didn't work. He has adonis DNA.

 

Titus O'Neil mimmicked a conversation with Hornswoggle, where they grunted and barked at each other. Titus promised to "Make It A Win".

 

The fans picked the winner and, of course, picked Titus O'Neil.

 

A video of Titus O'Neil aired. He promised, once again, to Make It A Win.

 

Conor O'Brian (w/Vladimir Kozlov) vs Darren Young (w/Chavo Guerrero)

 

Conor sends Darren shoulder-first into the ring post and spends most of the match working on the shoulder.

 

A knee to the arm gets a 2 count. Darren fights out of an armbar and punches Conor in the back of the head. Steve Mazzigatti ordered a stand up and docked Darren 1 point.

 

DY picked Conor up in a Fireman's Carry, before dropping him with both knees to the gut for the win.

 

Winner: Darren Young

Time: 2:58

 

Backstage Yoshi Tatsu approached Maryse. Yoshi told her she did a great job last week and she is prettier then Matt Striker. Maryse laughed and said she hoped so.

 

Lucky Cannon (w/robe) walked up to them and apologized for hitting on her last week.

Maryse thanked him and left. Lucky told Yoshi that he didn't have a chance getting her because he wasn't lucky.

 

A Jacob Novak video aired. Jacob ditched the white blazer for a flannel shirt.

 

Tyson Kidd & Lucky Cannon (w/robe) vs Yoshi Tatsu & Byron Saxton

 

Yoshi is wearing a black armband to pay tribute and show support for the situation in Japan.

 

Yoshi and Tyson started and had some fast paced action. Lucky cheapshotted Yoshi from behind to get the heat.

 

Lucky into the ring with a gut wrench suplex for a 2 count and slapped on a body scissors.

 

Saxton has not get in the ring yet, as Cannon beat down on Yoshi, using the ropes for the advantage with another body scissors.

 

Yoshi off the ropes and a double clothesline sends both men to the mat.

 

Both men crawling towards the ropes. Kidd gets the tag...AND SO DOES SAXTON!

 

Saxton makes the luke-warm tag and hits a bulldog for a 2 count, but runs into Tyson's feet.

 

Kidd set up for a what-a-maneuver, but Lucky tagged himself in. Lucky picked up Saxton in the Fireman's Carry into a reverse slam for the win.

 

Winners: Tyson Kidd & Lucky Cannon (w/robe)

Time: 4:07

 

The entire Trish-Vickie match and aftermatch aired from Raw. I got an apple.

 

It's time for the main event of the show! The St. Patrick's Day Keg Carrying Competition.

 

Each rookie had to, and I quote, "approach the keg", and then run around the ring carrying the keg.

 

Video of Season 2 where Titus O'Neil fell flat on his face and almost fell head first into the ring post aired.

 

Decorations from the Dollar Store were set up around the ring.

 

Jacob Novak started with 9.9 seconds.

 

Darren Young took the lead with 9.8 seconds. Chavo is really good at getting the fans into

Darren's segments. Unfortunately Chavo isn't a midget.

 

Conor O'Brian with 9.4 seconds. Vladimir said....something.

 

Byron Saxton just barely didn't quite take the lead as he finished at 9.5.

 

Lucky Cannon, who won this contest in Season 2....refused to do the contest. Instead he read a poem in French to Maryse.

 

Maryse wanted to throw up. Lucky played with her hair, so Maryse slapped him hard. Lucky and Tyson walked to the back.

 

Titus did not fall flat on his face and ended up winning at 9.1 seconds and then bragged about Making It A Win. Hornswoggle has managed to make Titus the most popular guy on NXT.

 

That is annoying already.

 

Yes, that is it for this week.
