NXT Season 3 HAS to be a slap in the face for poor Gail Kim! While watching the pros and rookies get named for the third season of the show all I could think about was how depressed she must be! Kelly Kelly as a pro? Primo? The Bella twins? And I thought calling Zack Ryder a pro was pushing it! I understand the scripted nature of wrestling, but they’re really pushing my suspension of disbelief by telling me that the Bellas are going to be teaching anyone anything.

Overall I like the concept of an all-diva season, mostly because I’m curious about how they’re going to pull it off considering the divas on Raw and Smackdown already get so little time. I thought it was just going to be used as a format to build up Aloisia, but apparently Vickie Guerrero has just “fired” according to wwe.com, so who knows. Like most people, I hated the diva search segments that used to fill up Raw a few years back, but considering these rookies have a little more background and have a hour long show to fill, I’m interested to see what it’ll be like.

Speaking of NXT, Kaval winning Season 2 makes me feel like all is right in the world. I have to say I was surprised to see Michael McGillicutty make it so far. I think all of the pros’ complaints about Lucky Cannon apply to him as well. To me he was just kind of… there. There was none of the ruthless aggression he promised. I hope they still find a way to bring some of the other rookies back to the main shows (like Husky), although not all of them, and hopefully not in a recycled Nexus stable for Smackdown or anything. Ultimately I feel like NXT Season 2 had some good, a lot of bad, but was overall decently entertaining, which is more than I can saw for a lot of wrestling shows.

And as an update, Botched Spot is still on track to be back on schedule this upcoming Monday! Labor Day breaks be damned!
