Something I got to thinking about as I woke up - what are some of the most beloved / most hated moments from NXT around here?
I'll start out by giving a best nod toward the season one and two finales. Both incredibly funny for entirely different reasons.

Best: -Regal's random rant/other superstars joining in the finale of NXT S1 -Dolph Ziggler's snide remarks in NXT S4 -The "Know your pro" challenge or whatever it was called with Bateman/Bryan in NXT S4 -Kaitlyn's dancing in NXT S3 -Eli Cottonwood's mustache promo in S2 -McGillicutty's finale promo in S2 -Bryan "shooting" on Cole and Miz in S1
Worst: -Kaitlyn vs Maxine in S3 -Otunga's promo in S1 finale

CM Punk doing commentary for that one episode of Season Three has to rank up there.
On the other side of the coin...MUSTACHE!

Season 2 was really the dregs overall, same for the first several months of Redemption with Lucky Cannon.

Best: -Pretty much everything from Season 3, especially the Punk episode, Cole's gong, and the Goldust/Aksana wedding. When Season 3 was going on, I honestly felt it was the funniest show on TV. -Jericho vs. Bryan in season 1 -Talent show from Season 4 aka Johnny Curtis Ribbon Dance -Kaval with Laycool. I loved that pairing so much. -Bryan and Bateman's date with the Bellas. Actually all of the backstage vignettes with the DB's. Also, that one match where Bryan and Bateman trying to one-up each other with airplane spins. -The current Curtis/Bateman/Maxine/Kaitlyn storyline. Johnny Curtis is awesome.
The worst: -I have never missed an episode of NXT, but the month or two in early summer 2011 I almost came close to quitting. That was when they repeated Titus O'Neil vs. Darren Young over and over and the whole who is in love with Maryse this week with Hornswoggle babbling about was really boring. -The season one challenge with Bryan drinking a soda for what seemed like 10 minutes was horrible.

Best: Ricardo vs. Conor O'Brian (Ziggler: "NOT LIKE THIS!!!!")
Johnny Curtis: "You remember that time I punched you in the mouth." As much as I like Dirty Curty, I think face Curtis is underrated.

Best: -Everything of season 3. I love that season so, so much. The sheer amount of "I don't care" displayed in the product was just hilarious. -Michael Cole. NXT is his home. He's just so good there. I loved when he came back a few months ago, looked around and said "HEY WHERE'S MY GONG?" he just seems like he belongs there. -Derrick Bateman & Daniel Bryan -Heath Slater MASTER OF THE ROLLUP
Worst: -Episodes without Michael Cole

I'm really upset I never watched NXT. I might see if I can download the episodes.

I laughed more hard than I have in years over the current WWE product when David Otunga called Justin Gabriel "Justin GAY-Briel".

To be honest alot of the stuff that should be bad is the best to me, NXT2 Finale, Eli Cottonwood, terrible diva matches, Cole ragging on the divas, Rat Conor O'Brian, stuff like that is so silly it's just entertaining. Although some things I never cared for, Titus O'Neil in the current season, where he improved to the point of not being laughably bad but just Jinder Mahal levels of boring, some of the divas season segments were just lame, as well as Lucky Cannon and most of Jacob Novak's apperances (although I liked his feud with Regal).
I can't really think of anything bad about season 1 at all, Daniel Bryan's losing streak was just storytelling to me and I didn't get the impression that WWE were trying to bury him, Skip Sheffield's Yep Yep character was in that same so good it's bad league as Conor O'Brian's rat gimmick. I can't really think of a fault for that season other than maybe 1 or 2 Otunga matches and Slater starting off as a babyface.

If you live in the US, the entire series should be buried somewhere on FanNation. I'm in the UK I'm in Canada which means I usually don't get to watch NXT online either, but season 3 is working fine for me on FanNation. Give it a shot, you might be surprised and the video might actually load.
