NXT 4/13

Some real quick thoughts on last night's show:

• That "Talk Challenge" from last night was horrendous. 20 minutes of talking about nonsense? Yes, part of being a star is being able to talk, but to take up a third of the show by talking instead of wrestling is unacceptable!
• Is it me, or does Darren Young look like a super obnoxiously tanned John Cena?
• Mixing outdated Hip Hop slang with Cowboy slang is not the business....Skip Sheffield.
• Wade Barret's starting to be one of my favorites
• I see Darren shaving his head on his own, and not because the SES wants him to.
• Great, great backstage verbal ass-whooping by The Miz to Daniel Bryan.
• Daniel Bryan vs William Regal was a pretty good match. Just not enough to whet my appetite.
• Daniel Bryan's continuous loss record is beginning to slow down his progress. We all hear that he's this awesome technical wrestler, but we haven't been really shown him for the skillful guy he is. One of these days, they should give him a convincing win over 2 other guys in a triple threat.
• After watching Darren Young beat Luke Gallows, are we seeing a wole faction turning face and leaving Luke Gallows to revert back to the wrestling machine/idiot he was before?

Overall, it was an ok show. The talking portion in the beginning killed me, though. Don't do it again!!
