JR Blog: Wade Barrett Winning NXT, The Show’s Future & More

Jim Ross has updated his blog over at JRsBarBQ.com. Below are some highlights:

"No surprise that Wade Barrett won NXT Tuesday night live in Dallas. Looked like about 10,000 in the AAC. Just as an interested bystander, I would like to see William Regal mentor Barrett at the outset. Something about that pairing that intrigues me. Barrett has the look of a young Billy Robinson one of the all time badass hookers who trained in Wigan and who once wrestled the legendary wrestler Jack Brisco all night in an Australian hotel room."

"The next season of NXT debuts next week on Syfy so it would seem that Syfy might well be the long term home of the rookie oriented program. That sort of makes sense as NXT is the highest rated program on the network as I understand it. Why get rid of your top rated show?"

"Some of the names the NXT rookies have been anointed with are eye brow raisers like Curt Hennig’s son Joe is now going to be called McGillicutty. Help me with this one. I understand protecting one’s intellectual property but McGillicutty? Wasn’t that Lucille Arnez’ maiden name on ‘I Love Lucy?’ Bottom line is if the kid is any where close to his dad he can be called any thing he wants."
