NXT a disaster or a revolution?

WWE's version of ECW finally took a bow last night after three years of up and down booking and eventually turning into a lamer version of Velocity. Id like to say it started strong but thatd be a lie. It did however provide a decent starting off point for some of the young talent you barely see on Raw and Smackdown nowadays. Except maybe CM Punk but ill get to him in a sec.
Its a shame really. Vinnie Mac took a viable concept and ran it into the ground. All because those three little letters and what they stood for werent his own brilliant idea or one he could even steal. Nope a little jew fella from Scarsdale NY (where im currently writing this from) took a bunch of misfit toys and made the big bullys want to steal them.
I could go on for hours about that but i wont. What i do wanna talk about is Vinces next concept. His next hail mary into the pro wrestling (AHEM!!!!), i mean "Sports Entertainment" arena. Aptly titled WWE NXT.
Its Vince dipping his toe back into the murky waters of the reality show gene pool. The idea is to take a group of nobodies and make them compete to win a contract to one of the WWE brands of Smackdown or Raw. Along the way they will be "mentored" by their own personal veteran wrestler. So far on paper it sounds like a merging of Tough Enough and UFCs Ultimate Fighter. I do not have a problem with this at all. Its a good way to take a nobody and make them somebody. When the winner makes his debut on national tv he'll have an added advantage of a small built in fan base. So in that regard i see a point in NXT.
However having read the list of nobodies today i noticed a huge error in judgement on WWEs part that may if done in the way i think it may happen could cause a lot of problems for WWE.
Most of the names on the list i dont know. Whether theyre indy guys or guys straight from FCW (WWEs training grounds in Florida) i cant say. Most of the legacy names have been left out. Meaning u wont see Ted Dibeases other kid or Curt Hennings kid. Both r shoe ins for bigger things on name alone. Low-Ki whose a wrestler most real wrestling fans know is also not on the list. Which again is fair. Hes been on tv before for both TNA and briefly on WWE as well. There is one name on the list who i have major umbridge towards.
The American Dragon Bryan Danielson.
You wont know him. Most dont. Unless of course u follow indy feds nerd fans like myself do. He is however not new to the game by any sense of the word.
Danielson started almost a decade ago. Hes wrestled all over the world. From Japan to Great Britian. He was trained by WWEs own Shawn Micheals! Most smart marks remember his trailblazing run in a little company called Ring of Honor. ROH is considered the heir to the ECW thrown. Its a small company where a lot of great shit happens. A lot of stars in TNA and now WWE have come from there. Including former WWE world champion CM Punk. Danielson is no exception. He signed to WWE last year to "pay his medical bills". How is he considered new? Danielson could already wipe the floor with those other wannabes (one of which is Jennifer Hudsons hubby and former I Love NY contestant Punk).
Whats worse and makes this even stranger is that the veteran Danielson is being put with is US and Unified Tag Champ The Miz. Another guy who, while improving leaps and bounds last year, also started on the reality show circuit starring on the Real World NY2 cast. As far as i know Danielson has more years than the Miz. So how is Miz the veteran? Plus Danielson is already a more compelling talent than the Miz on any day. Ive seen Danielson wrestle an hour long match. The Miz gets five to ten minutes if hes lucky.
Im hoping the premiere next week proves me wrong on my conclusions but WWE mostly fails to these days. Id hate to see another reality show come off as overly scripted and rigged. Granted i am talking about wrestling. But itd be nice for Vince to pull back the curtain a bit on a non wrestling night and show the process of making somebody a star like he did in the old days.
