Show Thoughts:
Someone needs to tell Todd Grisham that there are no beaches in Arizona.
It was interesting to see Chris Jericho praise Nick Nemeth when you consider that he is on a thirty day vacation.
The biggest problem when you have people like Chris Jericho, John Cena, or Ric Flair on this show, it makes the promo skills of the FCW wrestlers sound like Booker T with his current African/Jamaican accent.
You can tell that most of the wrestlers on this show are developmental because they appear to be hesitant to do things, but also they do a lot of the same things in the ring so there is nothing to separate them from the other wrestlers.
Since they have not been introduced as twins, should they have shown that on the developmental show? They gave out enough hints with some of Brie’s promos, but why give it away on this show?
It was also strange to hear Dusty and Todd talk about the people who are currently on the main roster who are going to someday get their shot. The strangest was with Eddie Colon since he is tagging with his brother (even if he really does not like Carlito).
