He was the obvious first elimination, just like Titus O'neil was. Both could be decent if they improve their mic skills and look, which is why I see them in FCW for a while.
If it was someone like Richie Steamboat or Bo Rotundo who are both average looking mic and look wise but decent in the ring, you know they'd be the first eliminated if he was one of them were the show, and people would rage. Novak's done his job and they'll work on him more.

If we never see Jacob Novak in the WWE again, he can make a strong case for having the worst WWE career of all time. He isn't the first strong candidate for this honor that NXT has produced. He joins other legends such as Eli Cottonwood and Titus O'Neil.

He looks like the bastard son of Harvard Chris and Curt Hawkins.

I think they should make him HHH's bastard son. HHH realizes that he dated Novak's mom while they were in junior high. HHH thought she just got fat, he didn't know she was pregnant. So he tormented her for months. Jacobs mom went insane and raised Jacob to despise HHH. Novak decides to become a wrestler in order to destroy his father and take the company from him. Give him a sideburns/moustache combo and the name Double H and the story writes itself. I highly doubt he can grow a mustache or beard yet. That's the sad part.

Novak's more like the Lucky Cannon of this season. Unmemorable, bland, and its hard to see them getting on the main roster anytime soon.
At least Titus had "If you're gonna win....make it a win!"

I don't think that Saxton botched his finish. If it was it was barely one.

Yeah, Ziggler kinda buried him, even during his farewell speech. I thought for sure Novak would attack him, but he just left. Still, he's probably the weakest guy this season, in terms of future potential. Also, I didn't understand Saxton's finisher. In my recap (read it, please !), I said it was a neckbreaker type move, but having seen it again...I really don't know what to call it. A modified Russian legsweep/STO. The one time I saw him hit it fully he kind of turned it into an Uranage instead, but with Zeke using that as his finish he might have modified it so when he turns he just grabs an arm to pull them down.

At least Lucky has SOMETHING going for him - the fact that he's ridiculously sexy. Novak doesn't even have that. Like I said in the NXT thread, Novak looks like somebody took Curt Hawkins and drained all the sexy out.

Like I said in the NXT thread, Novak looks like somebody took Curt Hawkins and drained all the sexy out. They also drained out all of Hawkins' personality. Which is pretty bad considering just how personality free Hawkins is. Titus also has rediculously awesome music in FCW. Any theme which starts with a dog bark and the first line is "don't make me put this wood on ya" is awesome by default.

All Novak needs to do is follow Dolph Ziggler's strategy when he got sent back down to the minors. Completely change his look and name, pattern himself after his favorite wrestlers, and hope people forget your first run in the company.

Yeah that's pretty much the only way he's ever going to see success. He's not a bad wrestler, I'm sure that if he gets trained more in the personality department he wouldn't be so bad. But as it stands... Poor guy's got nothing.

As couple of posters say, he needs to take Dolph approach or Miz approach to deal with it if he really wants to make it. I wish him all the best. Dolph and Miz in their own ways did put lot of work and did overcome (or still overcoming) the obstacles that they had.

Remember: if this were the Attitude Era, Hawkins would be the Rock!
And Trent Barreta would be Headbanger Mosh.
