07-10-10 ACE
We got there around 6:40, were like 10th on line and got in around 7:30ish. Yes, doors were supposed to be open at 7 and technically they were.. so kudos to you ACE, no false advertisement there. Almost the entire time we were outside, this one guy was pacing back and forth, making me feel incredibly uncomfortable. I knew there would be some crazies, but when I realized he was one of Danielson's crazies, I felt scared for his own safety if he were to have blew off this fan in any way that night.
After we get to our seats, we get up to see Danielson and of course, my brain turns to mush and I can't speak. It wasn't until he asked what my name was that I said ANYTHING and in retrospect, I feel really rude considering Daniels was really nice to me and I was too shy to say anything back. Now if you're reading this blog, you know I'm not usually like that. It was just one of those moments.
The show started and it was announced that the main event would now be a Fatal 4-Way to include Mo Sexton and Daniels. A few matches came and went.. some that were interesting.. some that made the crowd chant "END THIS MATCH!" In between matches, the people who had their own merch tables would come out and talk to fans and the atmosphere was really great. No one was rude and none of the fans were killing each other to talk to the wrestlers.
The main event was amazing. I got to see Cattle Mutilation in person as well as the most talented wrestlers to fight all night in the same match. In the end, Dan Maff retained his championship and Danielson expressed how Sexton should have been named champion.
Throughout the entire event, Danielson was amazing and very kind, even when I was a complete spaz and probably came off as creepy. I am preparing something special for the next time I see him as a thank you for being so great. He was great about us throwing ties at him, and he even put one on and at the end of the night, I took that same tie home.
Now, enough of the mushiness, here are some pics:

3) John Morrison vs
Winner: John Morrison via Starship Pain
4) The Great Khali & Eve vs Primo & Alicia Fox
Winner: The Great Khali & Eve via Punjabi Plunge
5) John Cena vs Sheamus
Winner: No contest
News:
* Vince McMahon announced that Bret Hart is no longer the GM of Raw and that a new, secret GM has been appointed. McMahon blamed Hart for the NXT Rookies interfering in the main event at Fatal 4-Way. The new GM then proceeded to hire all 7 NXT (season 1) Rookies.
* The name "Nexus" has been thrown out as a very probable new name for the "NXT 7."
* Ted DiBiase fired Virgil and hired Maryse in his place.
* Rob Zombie has been announced as next weeks guest host.

"The NXT 7"
I slightly appreciate the way the writers had Wade Barrett explain the missing NXT Rookie. Barrett explained that Bryan was sorry about what happened and that they had no time to deal with someone with a conscience. I applaud the fact that they wanted to have the last mention of Bryan be a positive one.. but it was not realistic at all and any avid follower of Bryan already knew why he was let go.
Nevertheless, we all knew that the season one Rookies would , in fact, be heard from even after being eliminated. The fact that they were allowed in the area for the season finale, the fact that several of them said "this isn't the last you've seen of me" upon leaving the competition and the fact that together they have the charisma to become to next NWO is a storyline that NEEDS to be milked for all it's worth.
And that's exactly what's going on.
I don't blame the cashcow that is Vince McMahon at all. He saw an opportunity and he took it. So now season one of NXT is running around acting like wild animals by trashing the backstage area, kidnapping Bret Hart, jumping John Cena and interrupting main event matches in hopes of acquiring their own contracts.
Newsflash: we all realized that they all have contracts already or else they wouldn't be allowed on the show! Clearly, in the case of Santino, he is in fact signed with the WWE but they didn't use him a lot.. but he was still signed which made it possible for him to make appearances even when he didn't have a match. Vince McMahon isn't trying to let anyone on camera if they aren't supposed to be.
WWE might just be for the naive and the children at this point.
NXT: Season II

Meet your new NXT Rookies:
Rookie: Alex Riley
Pro: The Miz
Rookie: Husky Harris
Pro: Cody Rhodes
Rookie: Kaval
Pro: Lay-Cool
Rookie: Lucky Cannon
Pro: Mark Henry
Rookie: Eli Cottonwood
Pro: John Morrison
Rookie: Michael McGillicutty
Pro: Kofi Kingston
Rookie: Percy Watson
Pro: MVP
Rookie: Titus O'Neil
Pro: Zack Ryder
What makes some of these Rookies special? Lineage.
* Michael McGillicutty is a third-generation competitor as the grandson of Larry "The Axe" Hennig and the son of "Mr. Perfect" (Curt Hennig).
* Husky Harris is also a third-generation competitor as grandson of "Blackjack" Mulligan and the son of "I.R.S."
What makes others stand out? Height (or lack of).
* Kaval is the smallest rookie and IMO following in the steps of Daniel Bryan. They both wrestled in the indie circuit long before coming to NXT and they both appear to be underdogs. Oh yeah, the both lost their first match and both seemed to be having some sort of issues with the Pro(s).
* Eli Cottonwood stands extremely tall at over 7 feet tall, making him byfar the biggest NXT Rookie this season.
And those who just don't fit in anywhere else? A strange gimmick.
* Alex Riley is the self-proclaimed "rare breed" who isn't afraid to love everything about himself.. even to the point of making everyone else sick of it.
* Lucky Cannon's name comes from a near-death experience that taught him to live life to the fullest.
* Percy Watson is the alway-annoyingly-excited Rookie of season two. Apparently, he loves to party.. in case none of us realized that already.
* Titus O'Neil seems to be the outcast of the bunch so he might play on the loner status for a while.
Do any of these Rookies remind you of other WWE Superstars/NXT Season 1 Rookies?
Who do I have high hopes for?
My personal favorites thus far are Michael McGillicutty, Alex Riley and Kaval.
Falling behind.

Quick update..
What's been going on in NXT? It was announced about two weeks ago that the person who comes in last place in the second Pro Poll would be sent home and that this would continue until we had a winner. Rumor has it that there will ultimately be two winners (let's keep our fingers crossed for Daniel Bryan and Justin Gabriel!), but I'm not sure if that was confirmed yet or if I just read that little bit of information on Daniel Bryan's twitter. Anyway, as far as the rookies that I blogged about in my first NXT post, I was pretty close at their positions in the first Pro poll!
First Pro Poll - March 30, 2010:
8) Darren Young
7) Michael Tarver
6) Skip Sheffied
5) David Otunga
4) Heath Slater
3) Justin Gabriel
2) Wade Barrett
1) Daniel Bryan
WWE Universe (Fan) Poll:
8) Michael Tarver
7) Skip Sheffied
6) Darren Young
5) Wade Barrett
4) Heath Slater
3) David Otunga
2) Justin Gabriel
1) Daniel Bryan
Not only was it announced that the winner of the overall contest would win a contract with WWE, but that the winner would be able to challenge any WWE Champion for a title shot at an upcoming pay-per-view. Unless I misheard, the pay-per-view that the lucky rookie gets to strut his stuff at is Extreme Rules. The weird part about this? Extreme Rules is a little over two weeks away (April 25). If NXT intends on eliminating people every week, how will they get down to the final two in two weeks? I hope this was a mix up because the shows Wikipedia says that the fifth and final elimination round will take place on June 1.
If you just became incredibly confused, I understand completely. But if you know how it is possible to find a winner before Extreme Rules when the next Pro Poll isn't happening until May 11, please let me know.
As far as tonight's show is concerned..
--SPOILER ALERT--
* "Keg" challenge:
Winner: Heath Slater (won the main event of the night.. vs Kane)
* Daniel Bryan vs Darren Young
Winner: Darren Young
* David Otunga vs Wade Barrett
Winner: Wade Barrett
* Justin Gabriel vs Michael Tarver
Winner: Justin Gabriel
* Heath Slater vs Kane
Winner: Kane (Did you even question this?)
Poll:
Who's the badder guy?
Skip Sheffield & Michael Tarver have both vowed to turn their characters around and become the bad guys.. you know, because good guys never win. I would like to mention that Daniel Bryan is a good guy and while he has yet to win a match, he won both the Pro Poll and the WWE Universe Poll.

Changes aren't always bad..
When will you be able to listen to these amazing artists that I spent hours selecting for my lovely listeners? I've decided to turn my Friday show into a spotlight show for these great bands. I originally considered creating a brandspankingnew show for this purpose, but I decided it'd be in my best interest to stick to two shows a week. It is possible that I could run this show during the summer, granted I do not get accepted to the internship I applied for or get a summer job.
What is your process of picking musicians? While listening to demos I am basically looking for one thing: anything that sounds good. In all honesty, you could have a goat playing the bango for all I care.. as long as that goat can play well, I'll probably play your music. Doesn't sound hard, right? It really isn't. But if you're tone deaf, I probably won't be playing you any time soon.
How can the fans help/interact? If you like a band that you heard on my show, e-mail, tweet or comment me and tell me that you want them to be in regular rotation. Requests will really make things happen.
I am currently planning the first show and a phone interview is in the works. I can't reveal names of bands yet but soon enough you'll be hearing music you'll wish you heard sooner.

Who else has seen this?

I don't know about you, but nothing makes my day quite as much as when the radio station gets credit for doing something right. It feels like it's taken forever and a hell of a lot of work.. but it's worth it.

Have you seen SPC's blog? Check this out, they blogged about us at IBS! [I don't think I've ever looked so evil/uncomfortable in a picture like I do in that one. I assure you, I was quite happy!]

Jay of the North: The Story of My Morning.

I won't lie, upon noticing classes were cancelled I went to the Hudson Room to get some breakfast. I mean, I was already on campus.. I might as well, right? I was one of the lucky people to get more than just eggs. So, had there been class this morning, I would have been one of the sad looking people sitting at a table with dry toast and eggs. I guess this was the up-side to being on campus today.. because I know I wouldn't be making myself blueberry pancakes or scrambled eggs at home!

WWE NXT: spoiler alert
Pictured above are the 8 rookies of NXT. In order (left to right) they are:
Daniel Bryan, Darren Young, David Otunga, Heath Slater
Justin Gabriel, Michael Tarver, Skip Sheffield, Wade Barrett
So what exactly is NXT? Basically, it's part "reality" and mostly scripted [and 100% competition]. The 'Rookies' are mentored by their 'Pros' and at the end, one of the 'Rookies' will be rewarded with a contract to wrestle on RAW. So.. technically, it's kind of like Tough Enough.. only it isn't at all. Get it?
As of tonight only five wrestlers (Bryan, Young, Otunga, Tarver and Slater) have had the chance to fight. Considering this was only a one hour show, there was some people who really got my attention and some people who didn't even give me two minutes worth of entertainment.
* Christian & Heath Slater vs Carlito & Michael Tarver
Winner: Christian & Heath Slater
* Darren Young vs David Otunga
Winner: David Otunga
* Chris Jericho vs Daniel Bryan
Winner: Chris Jericho
Now, here's how I feel about them..




KTHKSHI: What you asked for.
Anyway, on to the details from today's show!

hungry before his appearance and chowing down
on a hotdog with mustard were found, but more rational, serious answers were found..
For those of you know didn't see Elimination Chamber, you probably didn't know that Undertaker got set on fire with his own pyro-show during his entrance. A video showing the incident can be found here.
So what was that yellow stuff on his face? The most obvious and correct answer would be some kind of ointment or cream to cover his burns from Elimination Chamber. You may laugh at how silly it looked, but you can't deny that this man has heart to even show up and use his fire entrance so soon after a terrible accident.

One Year Later, One Year Older..
So.. in a year some important things have happened. You know, the stream stopped working, started working, stopped working, started working again.. ect. And.. I am now a "single-parent" as far as KTHKSHI is concerned. The decision wasn't the easiest to make, but for the sake of the show continuing, it had to be done. I won't be changing much about the show, so listeners shouldn't be too concerned.
Also, tomorrow is KTHKSHI's big celebration episode. Yep, we turned the big oh-two on February 8, 2010 and you're invited to celebrate! I am aware that tomorrow is February 19, making this show a whopping 11 days late, but do you really care about that? I think not.
I'm not going to give too much away as far as the show or the playlist is concerned, but I will be back to blog after tomorrow's show. I'm trying this thing where I actually write everyday so the next time I have a 8-day-break from school, my brain doesn't melt.
Be sure to listen tomorrow! Ta-ta for now!
