NXT Season 3

[Rico]

OMG......

WWE is currently negotiating to sign a woman would be the largest diva in company history.

We’ve received word that WWE has signed or is close to signing female independent wrestler Isis The Amazon to a developmental deal.

Isis is 6 foot 9 inches and besides indy wrestling, has done some modeling and acting work. Isis also has participated in a week-long evaluation at WWE’s FCW developmental territory.

Isis has been in attendance at as many as two WWE developmental shows this month. A fan in attendance at this week’s show in Fort Myers, Florida says Isis had to ask FCW officials if it was okay to take photos with fans.

To put Isis into perspective, she is just a few inches shorter than Big Show.

I think she is already signed on to be a part of WWE's all diva NXT season 3

[Sean Locke]

WWE announced that season three will be an all-divas contest. This is a smart idea for WWE as they are lacking in the divas division, getting rid of one their top divas in Mickie James and with Beth Phoenix out with an ACL tear.

Also the recent letting go of Serena, another female who was a pretty decent wrestler and was also a big part of the SES.

Plus this will also give the divas something to do, as it seems wrestling isn't a big part of their reputation as of late. The best two female wrestlers they have are the ones the WWE won't push, Natalya and Gail Kim.

For some reason, they don't want to push Natalya as a wrestler, only as a valet, and Gail Kim is a former women’s champion and is forced into mediocre matches that mean nothing.

This is going to be a new refreshing way to pick a new diva though, instead of having a nationwide diva search like they used to.

One thing, I would like to know is why in the hell is Vickie Guerrero a WWE pro?

She is nowhere near a wrestler, just because her husband is a Hall of Famer does that really give her the right to coach a NXT rookie? I don't think so.

At Least with Lay-Cool they had been trained in the ring and are actual wrestlers.

What's Vickie Guerrero going to tell her rookie, Ok this is how you say EXCUSE ME and get people to hate you, this is how you botch a hog, I’m sorry, frog splash.

By the way though in case you didn't see the season two finale, her rookie is 6'9, this has to be one of the tallest women to ever wrestle. Let alone being taller than all the women she is taller that some of the guys.

Another diva rookie that caught my eye is Aksana, she is blonde, Lithuanian, gorgeous and reminds me exactly of Maryse as they have a lot in common. They're both blonde, foreign, and smoking hot.

Her pro is Goldust, which is good, he may be bizarre but he knows more about the WWE than any of the other pros, and if she heeds his advice and gets over with the fans, she could go far in this contest.

Another pro is Primo, I had actually thought he had been fired along with his brother Carlito.

Another terrible choice for a pro as he has done nothing much in his career and probably would've never made it up to the main roster if it wasn't for his brother.

Instead of Primo they should have had Chavo Guerrero, although he hasn't been used at all lately, he is an outstanding wrestler and knows a lot about the business.

But Primo’s rookie is a diva by the name of AJ Lee; she claims to represent "the nerds" she definitely has a look to her, and just from watching her promo she seemed to be a bit shy and had a innocent feel to her.

Kelly Kelly is another pro on NXT season three, another woman who can barely wrestle and just got put on the main roster because of her looks. And I wouldn't be surprised if her rookie can wrestle just as good as she can, if not better.

Her rookie's name is Naomi Knight, and I watched a little bit of a match between her and Serena for the FCW women’s championship and she didn't look too bad.

The Bella Twins are also pros and their rookie is former NXT announcer and also current FCW announcer Ashley Valence; can't say too much about her since I haven't ever seen her wrestle, except she looked better before she dyed her hair blonde.

Last but not least we have Miss Alicia Fox, former Divas Champion, her rookie is Maxine. In my humble opinion she isn't that hot but her personality is very similar to Fox's.

She is sort of the female version of MVP when he first came to the WWE.

I’m sure season three will be interesting, as it will be interesting to see a woman almost seven feet tall wrestle especially with Vickie Guerrero as her pro.

Only time will tell whether NXT will continue to be a success, but one things certain there will be a new Diva in the WWE.

She was announced yesterday as an NXT rookie.

Have you actually watched any of her matches on youtube? She is as clumsy and oafish as The Great Khali.

Here’s the rundown on all of the NXT season 3 rookies!

AJ Lee (April Jeanette) – This New Jersey native is the current “Queen Of FCW” and girlfriend of TNA’s Jay Lethal. She has a balanced ground an areal attack… Don’t let her size fool you. She was a co-holder of the WSU tag title under the name “Miss April”.

Alouisa – Miami based indy worker who had been working as “Isis The Amazon”. She is a legit 6′9″ and is the only season 3 rookie who has not yet worked a match in developmental.

Jamie Keyes (Brittany Beede) – The Sarasota, FL based model appeared on TNA’s Final Resolution 2009 accompanying Kevin Nash using the name “Brittany”. She’s spent most of her time in developmental as FCW’s ring announcer as well as being the ring announcer for NXT season 2. Jamie may be the least experienced in the ring, but could be in the running for most charismatic.

Aksana (Zivile Raudoniene) – Former Lithuanian fitness model and bodybuilder turned wrestler. Though a bit green in the ring, she has a strong personality that she can build upon.

Naomi Night (Trinity McCray) – This former Orlando Magic cheerleader has all the qualities to go far as a WWE Diva. She is the current FCW Divas champion, defeating former Smackdown star Serena to be the first to wear this belt.

Maxine (Karlee Perez) – In developmental, she has been working under the name “Liviana”. Maxine is a Tampa model turned wrestler who is so strong on the mic, she was recently appointed the on camera GM of FCW.

Lindsay Hayward, who is one of the tallest women in the world, has been let go from her NXT contract after some racy photos of her surfaced after her first appearance last Tuesday. Howard, who also goes by the names WWE Aloisia and Isis the Amazon, is 6f9 tall and weighs 240 pounds. The photos showed her engaging in gay situations with a very small woman. Due to her surreal size, the photos did not even look real, but itfs too much for NXT and they let her go. Naturally they have another story as to why she was let go: Shefs not ready. So far her WWE contract is still valid, however in 2009 WWE changed to a TV-PG rating, so they may let her go also.

Personally, I think this whole flap is stupid. Everyone knows that diva wrestlers are not being watched for their wrestling abilities. They wear brief clothing and grapple with each other and itfs sexy as all get out. Why the giant flap over these photos?

I don't really think any of that should matter since not to long ago most of the divas were trying to be in playboy. I really think that now that they got her, they're just going to use her for when beth pheonix returns or something and have glamazon vs amazon and eventually some how be involved with the big show or another shorter wrestler to make an odd couple.

[Sean Locke]

is NXT live, i don't know if anyone else watched it last night, but during the first match, a tag match between kelly kelly and naomi vs alicia foxx and maxine, I don't know if it wuz planned but naomi pinned maxine for the three count alcia actually touched them during the count but kelly kelly attacked, but the match was over and the bell never rung, so the nxt divas in the ring decided to keep fighting and naomi suplexed maxine for another pin, you could kind of hear the fans laughing a little. I don't know whether this was planned or not but michael cole and josh blamed it on tony chimmel for not announcing the winners.

[Head Booker]

unless Awesome Kong makes some kind of appearance and wrecks shop I can guarantee that I will not be watchin' NXT 3...

[GGWF]

Oh, it was just dire!

I did see some of her matches on youtube....and clearly they just signed her for her size and not her talent. I doubt she ever makes it on tv in the WWE to have a match...

Male members of WWE’s lockerroom offered their criticisms of the season three NXT rookies to F4WOnline.com’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter following Tuesday night’s season premiere, and there seems to be a universally favorable opinion about the Diva hopefuls’ appearances.

The general reaction was that the six NXT rookies, on the whole, have “so much better bodies” than the Divas on the main roster. As LoP noted earlier, Kaitlyn, in particular, was praised for her appearance, with the consensus being that she is both the best-looking and in possession of the best body of the six contestants. From an overness standpoint, she stumbled at the onset, but the feeling is that by pairing her with a strong heel in Vickie Guerrero, there is a chance she will garner support as a babyface.

None of the girls received negative remarks for their looks, although the feeling was that Aksana is essentially a less attractive version of Maryse and thus not a clear asset to the roster. AJ’s energy and charm had appeal, and she is absolutely being pegged as a suitable Mickie James replacement. No one was particularly negative on Jamie Keyes, but there is definite uncertainty about whether her desire to transition from ring announcing to wrestling will produce positive results.

Even though Maxine’s initial promo fell flat, the feeling was that she could still emerge as the Alex Riley of this season, as her personality is the best suited for getting over as a heel.

Naomi made for the biggest surprise of the group. Going into Tuesday’s premiere, no one gave her a real shot of winning, but by the time the broadcast came to a close, she had “won the key people over” backstage and became the internal favorite to win the competition.

Because there are far fewer openings for female talent than male talent on the WWE roster, if several of the NXT rookies get over enough to warrant permanent spots on the main brands, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter speculates that some of the current Divas could be cut by spring time.

The plan has changed and now the final episode of NXT on Syfy will be 9/28. Originally they were going to do a three-hour live special from Oklahoma City, with one hour being the final episode of NXT and the next two hours being the first episode of Smackdown. Instead, that first hour is going to be something of a Smackdown preview show. The last word we’ve heard is that they will move NXT to the Internet at that point, and continue trying to shop it to a new station. In Canada, The Score will continue to carry this NXT season in the same time slot.

HIGHLIGHT'S OF WEDNESDAY'S NXT.WWE.COM NXT REPLAY AND LIVE CHAT, "SHOOTIN' STRAIGHT W/ JOEY STYLES" 7E/4P

Hello everyone. Let's see if I can't get myself more heat than I did last week

Calling this show a train wreck is a disservice to Amtrak derailments.

It's amazing that a woman as beautiful as Kaitlyn can look even more beautiful standing next to Vickie.

Primo is WWE's most underutilized talent.

AJ was homeless and Michael Cole thinks that's something to make fun of!?

Cole doesn't get paid enough to call NXT? How could he charge anything for his performance on this show?

Maybe Maxine can investigate where Cole's talent is.

Please go leave heartfelt comments on Michael Cole's facebook wall at facebook.com/wweMichaelCole

Michael Cole's dancing looked like he was being electrocuted...but no such luck.

Don Rickles is still one of the funniest comics ever Striker you hockey puck!

In her interview with WWE.COM after NXT, Aksana told me she really does feel that American women get lazy and fat after they get married. Ouch. She also said that married men hit on her and I declined to ask what should have been the next logical question.

Maxine is evil. I like that in a woman.

CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT! (screeching)

Kaitlyn told me her punchline after the slap would have been, "KGB! We ask the questions."

Cole and Josh really are the stars of the show.

Did Gordon Solie ever use a gong?

NXT was once again watched by 1 million homes in the U.S. alone last night. Seriously.

Cole and Josh have turned NXT into Mystery Science Theater.

I would love to see Cole and Josh as Pros.

Cole and Josh could use handheld microphones to call the matches when they are at ringside as Pros. That would be classic.

Can we put Kane's old mask on Cole?

Michael Cole's talent is equaled by few and superior to none.

I hope Daniel Bryan makes Miz tap out and then strangles Cole with his own tie.

That was laugh out loud funny. Yes Michael, I still work for WWE...for at least 72 more days.

No straight man will vote for Kaitlyn to be eliminated. Good thing Miz isn't a Pro this season

Vickie is better than Lucky Cannon.

Glamazon, I would love to see you hop over the railing at an NXT show at drop all six rookies...and then Chimel, Striker, Josh and Cole.

I'd love to see Kaitlyn running the obstacle course in slow motion.

Wow! Kaitlyn is phenomenal...and she did well on the obstacle course.

Seriously, this obstacle course was a great test on the prospective Divas' athletic ability. I'd like to see all of the current WWE Diva roster have to run this course.

I don't know why Cole hates calling NXT Season 3. All six of these young ladies are better than three of the NXT Season 2 Rookies.

Naomi told me she was mentally shaken when she missed a tire. She felt if she could have stayed calm, she still could have won.

Michael Cole's handful of fans are called "Cole Miners" because they actually want to throw him down a shaft.

Michael Cole was a war correspondent. I heard he had his likeability shot off.

Journalistic integrity? Didn't Cole play "piggyback" with Heidenreich?

Here's the video of me quitting Raw show I can show the world that Cole can't even quit as well as I can -
