Last week, we lost two more rookies. First Percy Watson had to take Showtime on the road. Then we saw Husky Harris finally end his run. Then we saw Cody Rhodes show that not only is he ‘dashing’, he is a man of action.
We are live on tape from Fresno, California and your announcers are Josh ‘When do I get to guest star on Warehouse 13’ Mathews and Michael ‘Internet Darling’ Cole. Your host is Matt ‘Now I’m not that bad on Pay Per Views, am I’ Striker.
The pros come out to sit on the stage.
It is time for the remaining rookies to come out and they are Kaval, Alex Riley, and Michael McGillicutty.
Matt Striker joins them in the ring and he reminds us that twelve weeks ago, there were eight rookies who wanted to be a WWE Star. We are now down to the final three with one week to go. Matt wants to know from the rookies how it feels to have gotten this far.
Michael says that this is the greatest job in the world. This is the greatest time of his life. He credits Kofi for a lot of his success. He gets to perform in the same ring as his father and that makes it all worth it.
Alex says that he expected to be here. He says that this contest is about finding the next breakout ‘STAR’. That means a total package. He says that he is that total package. He looks the part, acts the part, and talks the part. Alex says that he will have a pay per view opportunity while Miz will have the briefcase. He says that Sheamus better hope that he doesn’t get there first because Sheamus is dismissed.
Kaval says that it is indescribable. He thanks the WWE Universe for the support that they have given him. He was almost ready to celebrate last week due to one pro because his rookie was eliminated. That pro should be ashamed of himself because he couldn’t get his rookie into the final.
Cody tells Kaval to watch his tongue.
Kaval says that Cody got into the company because of his father and he didn’t earn his way into the company.
Cody says that he wants to know what else Kaval believes in besides booster seats and really bad promos.
Kaval says that he is the last of a dead breed because he earned his way to get here to perform for the WWE Universe. Kaval says that it is easy to talk from 50 feet, but what about face to face.
Cody says that he is floored at Kaval’s originality. He attacked Cody’s heritage and that is so original. He wants to put it as politely as he can. He says that Kaval is the gum that he scrapes off his boots. He tells Napoleon that he is a wee little rookie, while Cody says that he is a pro. Cody says that his answer is no.
Montel Vontavious Porter says that he cannot stand here and let it go. Porter says that Kaval stands up and makes a challenge. Cody says that this doesn’t concern him. Does Kaval sleep at the foot of MVP’s bed or is that for his babysitters as Cody looks at Michelle and Layla. Porter says that he has been watching Cody and since Cody won’t accept Kaval’s challenge because he isn’t on the same level, why not accept his challenge for a match tonight.
Cody tells Porter that just to shut everyone up, he accepts the challenge.
We go to commercial and a trivia contest is next.
We are back and it is time for the WWE Trivia challenge with the three rookies. Matt says that in order to be Superstars, you need to know about the history.
The first question was to name the participants in the Iron Man Match at Wrestlemania 12. Michael McGillicutty gets it right and takes the lead with 100 points. The next question is who Pete Gas, Joey Abs, and Rodney are part of what group and Kaval gets it right to tie McGillicutty. The third question is whose entrance music starts with You Think You Know me and Michael takes the lead back. The fourth question is what billionaire did Vince McMahon put his hair on the line against and Michael extends his lead. The next question is which wrestler’s finisher is the Killswitch and Kaval edges closer to Michael. Question number six is who performs Triple H’s music and Michael is wrong and Kaval ties Michael. We are at the end of round one. Michael and Kaval are tied with 300 points while Alex Riley is watching.
Round two starts with a question about the first Intercontinental Champion and Kaval takes the lead. The next question asks who won the Diva Search in 2007 and Michael ties Kaval. The next question is to finish the theme for Demolition and Kaval is back in the lead. The next question is what did the Dynamic Dudes ride on their way to the ring and Kaval is close and Alex Riley is just as far away from the correct answer while Michael does not answer.
Matt asks Alex about his great performance so far and Alex says that he does not care. Kaval suggests that the varsity villain must have spent more time on the field and not in the classroom.
The next question is to name the person who won the WWE title the most time and Alex gets on the board.
Kaval wins the challenge and Michelle and Layla celebrate with him. Matt says that Kaval will have a feature about him on WWE.com tomorrow.
Josh reminds us that voting begins at Noon Eastern on Wednesday after Michael Cole stops gushing about Alex Riley getting one answer correct.
