I think it's hilarious they apparently need an "indy" guy for Cole to hate on for whatever reason. Mainly I think it's funny that for season 2 it's Kaval. A man who a)in two stints spent around 4 years total wrestling for a nationally televised promotion and(and winning 5 total championships there) b)spent 2 years (granted one was him being out on injury) in WWE's own developmental promotion. If they do a season three, I can't wait to see how much further they can stretch the indy hero guy. Maybe score a massive coup and get AJ Styles as a rookie mentored by Evan Bourne.
Also as a side note, said "internet darling" even had his signature move the Ki Krusher '99 in WWE games for years (just named the '99 Krusher)

AJ Styles would not be on NXT. If WWE actually signed him that would be such a waste of his talent and name.

On the internet maybe, but I'd be willing to bet that a ton of casuals have little knowledge of him. Humm, I don't know about that one. Because honestly who are the casuals anymore honestly. Style is a big enough stars where these days most wrestling fans are going to know who he is. Take example CM Punk. The first real "internet darlin" that they signed. Ok this guy was on top of ROH before ROH had TV or PPVs. He went to OVW but debuted with a huge following that carried over making him a top face on ECW and later going to be a World Champion, I-C, and Tag Champion as a face. Then when he turned heel he got another World title. Should have remained the top heel of Smackdown because he was that good. Now look at AJ. Who been on PPV and TV since 2002. You know a lot of fans get interested when they see a familar face. Well AJ Feuding with the likes of Angle, Christian, Sting, and ext You think fans may just see why he facing those familar names? When they had DVDs at Best Buy for example. YOu think that WWE fan wouldn't pick up a TNA DVD next to it that had like Angle on the cover and look at it. To see what it is. Then may buy it to see what the guy Angle is facing is all about. Now look at magazines. PWI is the second biggest magazine out there for wrestling behind WWE magazine. Now AJ was #1 of the 500 list. Don't you think that may gotten some non TNA fans attention. Thinking why is this guy there. The thing is the Net is so big these days. It's hard to believe that where not the majority of fans. I mean honest you think that most of a 15,000 fans that go to the events or people who watch the WWE don't own the internet? |

I don't think Styles would appear on NXT. He actually was a world champion of a televised wrestling league. Whereas there was alot of water over the dam since Senshi was pushed in X-Div.

But up until this week Cole DIDN'T hate Low-ki/Senshi/Kaval it wasn't until Daniel Bryan came back that he decided Kaval was awful  |

He still thinks cell phones are the size of bricks. |

Which makes it weird when they use the internet to hype something like Jericho's comeback, or change an angle to swerve us like Christian's return becoming Matt Hardy's heel turn.

In all seriousness, most wrestling fans have at least HEARD of both AJ Styles and Samoa Joe, at least in passing. to further what Can You Afford To Pay Me said, kid goes to Toys R Us and to get a Cena toy, the AJ and Joe plush dolls are right there. Actually, most people I know that don't watch wrestling very deeply or anything associate those two with TNA and know at least of thier existance. So neither of them would show up to a Conway pop - rather there'd likely be huge interest and buzz around thier arrival. Now, if the MCMG, Jay lethal, Robert Roode or Eric Young showed up, I'm willing to bet the majority of the audience would be looking like question marks.

I hope to god Tyler Black doesn't do NXT Season 3 (IF they have another one). I hope WWE realizes how disrespectful (Yes, he's VERY disrespectful) and boring he is and releases him. Xavier Woods, on the other hand, should go to NXT Season 3 (Again, IF) because he's not adored by the internet fans (I don't think) and he's an all around great in-ring entertainer.
But either way, if any of those "internet darlings" come to NXT, I hope they get destroyed by Bo Rotundo because he's Wind n' Young, he's a product of the WWE, and he kicks ass!!
