-- 5/18 WWE NXT Reax

Josh Rollins of Dallas, Tex. (7.5): Best: Bryan Danielson. Worst: Michael Cole. I'm not sticking up for Cole. I'm glad that Danielson was two inches away from kicking his head in. C.M. Punk and Regal agree that Danielson is much better than The Miz. That was funny. Wade Barrett is the winner of this thing, but the only person people are going to remember forever from NXT is Bryan Danielson. The show is about him now more than ever, and he's been cut.

Rick Hurd of Madison, Wis. (9.5): Best: Daniel Bryan. Worst: Michael Cole and Matt Striker. This was the best NXT episode to date, period. Bryon Danielson was incredible for telling off Matt Striker for interrupting him and for what he did to Michael Cole. He made the biggest impact on NXT thus far and that will probably be the only big impact on NXT. This definitely made me want to tune in next week (first time since NXT has been on air). I enjoyed the Pros sitting through the whole show to "evaluate" the Rookies. The video packages were great and the match-up between Darren Young and Wade Barrett was good. Too bad this is the last time we're going to see Young. He really grew on me. I thought it was great when he said at the end, "I have something no one else on NXT has...respect." To close, again, Bryan Danielson said it straight that WWE management wants to pick the stars they want and not who's best. Such an excellent show that made me hungry for more.
