Plans for Season 3 of NXT

[Steveweiser]

According to this week's Figure Four Weekly, the current plan for Season 3 of NXT is for there to be four male wrestlers and four female wrestlers, as WWE fear there isn't enough male talent in FCW to afford to have eight guys on the next show.

I guess if this will be the case, it'll be a short season, probably to get NXT off Syfy quick before SmackDown arrives.

Is Smackdown moving to Tuesdays?

Ideally, plans for season three of NXT would consist of it not existing.

Still, four men / four women would be interesting route to take, so long as the women aren't done in the usual Divas manner. Which they will be, but still.

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

I would like to ask...........does FCW have enough women for them to do the NXT crap.

[Lardlad]

If they do go that route, I hope that Aksana is one of the females who makes it....

She looks oddly worried.

No doubt the girls will be repackaged and instead of being given common names, they'd be given supposedly "sexy" names like Vixen Cherrypie.

[Krimzon]

Is it possible that Season 3 will be even worse than the 1st 2 seasons? If they can't even book the men right, I've got no faith in them to book women.

We should probably tell WWE...

HEY SLOW IT DOWN YOU MOVE A LITTLE TOO FAST! JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH, AND MAKE THIS LAST!

Really though, they do need to slow down. This is going to burn out VERY quickly if they keep having new seasons so soon. The best idea is to have it once or at most twice a year, so that FCW have time to develop and make some guys less green. If they know who is going to be in the next season, then they should take time out with them and help them with promo skills, as well as everything else - rather than just putting them out there.

Meh...Season 2 should have never happened...let alone another one. Adding 4 bimbos who can't wrestle and just shreak all match doesn't make me want to watch.

[Steveweiser]

AJ Lee will probably be in this season, and she's really good.

[PKO]

If it's four Divas it would have to be Aksana, AJ Lee, Naomi Night and Liviana.

Aksana and Liviana will make no impact. They'll be the eye-candy squashes in no time.

Naomi Night would benefit from more time in development, but the girl is pretty darn good in the ring. She has about a year's worth of training but looks better than most of the Diva's. She had a really solid match with Serena a few months back for the FCW Diva's Title, and it was one of the best women's matches I've seen this year. I'd like to see her get more time to develop, but if they bring her up I'm fine with that. She would also be a contender for the "Best Rear-end" thread. You could bounce a quater off that thing.

AJ Lee has pretty much everything going for her. Good looking, pretty good on the mic, good in the ring. She was a wrestler coming in as well so more people will be sticking up for her.

The Rookie/Pro connection could be pretty interesting as well:
AJ Lee- would have to have Melina. I always said AJ should be Melina's storyline sister, they are so similar.
Naomi Night- Alicia Fox. They compliment each other pretty well, if Naomi was playing face OR heel.
Liviana- Maryse. A bitchy heel has to be mentored by THE bitchy heel.
Aksana- either Kelly or Eve. Fun babyface. Alternatively, give her a heel like......I can't really think of any. It won't be LayCool again but they seem the logical choice.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they rush up Fox's sister to put with her. Honestly, between the Foxes, Laycool, and the Bellas might as well half-ass another two or three teams and build a tag division; they do enough meaningless tag matches with them anyway.

But then, still haven't done that with the other DiBiase assuming he's still around. If he is, might be in season three under the name Dwight Berkowitz, son of Ted DiBiase and brother of Ted DiBiase.

I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure Brett DiBiase's still out due to injury.

[Steveweiser]

I think one or two of the girls will be paired up with male Pros.

[Lardlad]

It's too bad they don't put a ref in the competition. Justin King (aka 'Black Ref') could come up and have Mike Chioda as his pro. I'm just kidding, it wouldn't fit, but I saw him on the roster page and thought of it.

I don't care which males or females they pick, but I do hope the Miz is a pro again because I really dig him on NXT and think that he'd leave a huge gap if they decided to replace him with someone else.

What if they brought previous NXT rookies back for another season. Would WWE ever do that? Imagine the reaction if Eli Cottonwood was selected as a contestant for NXT Season 3 ... people would riot!

[Matt Dunn]

I...don't...care...

[Deleted]

So they were looking for the only way to make NXT get worse ratings?

[The Genesis of KoOS]

Gail Kim should be paired with AJ Lee.

[Matt Dunn]

I'll call it now: This is why they signed Tyler Black.
