They should have had the Pitbulls in at least a few more matches. They shouldn't be beating the tag champions (boy do I hate that on WWE television), but they should do a couple of squashes and then face the tag champs in a competitive match. It was probably purely to see how they handle both a live audience and a hard camera. Instead of running a potential signee through dark matches before RAW and Smackdown they just do it on NXT, so they can use top tier NXT talent in those dark matches to see how other audiences react to them.

Wouldn't American Bulldogs perhaps sound better?

Wouldn't American Bulldogs perhaps sound better? I don't think it would work. It sounds too much like the British Bulldogs. Not exactly the best team to emulate given their steroid histories and out-of-ring histories..

I'm still not hearing Philbin when Kendra announces him. It sounds more like Billman or Pillman. Ahh well.
What I do find interesting is that they actually got an entrance. And an entrance AFTER the Ascension at that.

From what I can gather, they're called John Cahill and Derek Pillman. Some say Philbin but there doesn't seem to be a h or b in the name Kendra says in the video. Regarding their contracts, it appears to be a thing with the indy guys now, according to reports. They will all be brought in not under contract and given trial periods which could extend to main show appearances. HHH is apparently wary of indy talent because they're "stuck in their ways" and not as easy to mould into the WWE style. So, it would seem that to combat that, they're being given trial contracts and made to prove themselves. Judging by the reaction in the reports, Davey and Eddie were getting a big reaction. Could be good news for those two. Could we maybe see NXT becoming an independent-esque territory? They could actually use indy guys as a pay-per-appearance deal like most of them get now. Allow those guys to build a name in WWE whilst still working the indy shows. That would work, so no. That's actually brilliant. See if guys can actually adjust to the style WWE wants them to work before you lock them into a contract.

Also, they didn't beat the champs, they lost......but it was at least not a squash like most of the Ascension's matches have been after they became tag champs.
