Grash Says…
A few points this week before I hit the main topic…
1) I have no clue what they are doing with commentary. Jack Korpella has disappeared. In his place, we have Mathews, Regal, and Striker doing round robin duty on commentary.
2) Commentary was at its best when Hawkins dominated the conversation.
3) It shouldn’t be the surprise that Bateman won tonight’s main event. He’s the one who’s the most ready to head to the main roster. Knowing a little bit of history, we can probably say that it’s likely the situation that Bateman was slated to win the previous season of NXT till he got injured.
4) Tamina and JTG being the bears of bad news for Bateman, helps build them into their heel roles.
And that leads to one more topic…
At this point, the house that was BetaMax is on fire and the flames are flowing out of the house itself. Previously I’ve called this love triangle between Bateman, Maxine, and Curtis one big zit that was going to get popped. Know we know that Maxine and Curtis are the fingers. Bateman being the expunged one here. It leaves Maxine and Curtis as heels, and Bateman no place to go but into the realm of Faces.
And then there’s Bateman’s Mom. Within a few short sentences with Maxine, The mantle of “Force of Nature” became hers with a face slant no less. And now that Maxine just got caught walking off Dirty Curtie… Oh Hell IT’s on! That’s right, there’s no way this ends without seeing Bateman’s Mon in the ring. Beating Maxine. OR in a Mixed Gender Tag match where Maxine and Curtis take on Bateman with his Mom. I can’t see this not happening now. All the pieces are in place for this to take place. Think about this one. Story is going to hold the match together. Bateman’s Mom just has to fight as well or better than say Michael Cole or Vicky. If there’s a Santa, a Bateman’s Mom Match is what I want for Christmas.
Meanwhile Stuck in my mind, I’ve got Fountain of Wayne’s “Stacy’s Mom”. It’s just that Stacy isn’t the name that I’m singing it with…
