It all goes back a fateful night way back on June 1, 2010. David Otunga, incensed by his elimination and bitter at Barrett's status as victor, swore vengeance. He made a deal with Kane, who helped the young rookie to temporarily steal the powers of the vegetated Undertaker. (Otunga convinced Nexus to help pay Kane back by helping him win at Buried Alive months later). Using Taker's supernatural powers, Otunga would place a curse on all NXT winners that from that point forward they would never achieve success in WWE. You forgot that the curse was supposed to affect Wade Barrett, but Otunga has to botch everything, so there you go. Actually, judging by Barrett booking as of late, I'd say the curse is working...it just took a year, that's all PS- Barrett's "this is bulls***" face is awesome. Phoning it in could be his new gimmick.

I think it was more that season 1 mattered in terms of showcasing a new star. The other seasons were just about showing 8 people they're considering, but not certain on. Pretty much this. The guys who people hold up as the "intended winners" have just ended up as random lackeys (in Riley/Clay's case, carrying over roles that originated on NXT), which doesn't really scream "these guys were supposed to win!" Guys like Kaval and Curtis were allowed to win because they didn't really care; no one was getting a real winner's push from those seasons anyway.

Kaval would be getting a post-draft push right now, if he hadn't been a baby about everything.
