These are pictures I took while attending a television taping of NXT at Full Sail University on October 11, 2012. It was one of the most amazing wrestling events I have ever attended. The smaller venue adds a personal touch with amazing energy. I look forward to my next visit in February.
There were some very good matches. Kassius Ohno vs Richie Steamboat was stellar and solid. Best match between 2 strictly NXT roster members.It seems that there matches are constantly amazing. Some other talent I found and destined for big things were, Emma, Mike Dalton, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns. Reigns blew me way with his calculated wrestling technique, ring presence and looks. He's gonna make a huge impact on the WWE for years to come.

The Shield: NXT's latest breakout stars

  During the Survivor seies PPV,  NXT stars Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Seth Rollins, made a huge impact on the WWE Universe. They made their main roster debut very memorable by attacking the undefeated powerhouse Ryback. Their vow was to rally against injustice in the WWE.

   Due to Punk's legitimate knee injury and surgery, they have been moved to the main event of the next PPV, Table's Ladders and Chairs held this month. They are paired against the current tag team champions  Daniel Bryan and Kane along with Ryback.
   Reigns is the least experienced, but who I truly feel will be the breakout star. He's a very good combination of technique, looks, athleticism, mic skills, and presence. I witnessed his TV debut first hand at  Full Sail in October and was blown away.

    Rollins is the current NXT champion and was known on the indy circuit as Tyler Black. He's a fan favorite and solid athlete.

   Ambrose had been on the indy circuit for years, as Jon Moxley, before coming to the FCW. I was impressed by his feud in the FCW with the veteran great, William Regal. It brought the best out both them. The match that is one of all time personal favorites. This marked Ambrose as a fierce competitor and showcased his talent.

   There are still serious questions about the real motives and leader of the group. Will the stable be successful?  Will their tremendous fast push into the main event status straight from NXT be a good thing or too much for them to handle? Regardless these 3 stars are all worthy of the push. I am eager to see the evolution of the stable along with the storyline unfolding. They are a breath of fresh air to the very stale state the WWE has been in of late.
