WWE NXT Results: Overcoming Obstacles
Hoping to leave a lasting impression on the WWE Pros and the WWE Universe, the NXT Rookies had 30 seconds each to express why he should survive next week’s elimination after the second Pros’ Poll.
While most of the NXT Rookies defended themselves, Daniel Bryan pointed out he’s winless and said he should leave. Michael Tarver did the same, but told his fellow competitors, “I’m the most dangerous Rookie on NXT,” as the WWE Universe booed. Many of the NXT Rookies agreed it should be Tarver who leaves, but Darren Young called out each of his opponents and singled out Wade Barrett, ending WWE NXT with a brawl. Full results.

WWE Fan Arrested For Threatening to Blow Up Stamford Headquaters
Zavr Peygumbari is a serious wrestling fan in some serious trouble.
Peygumbari, 22, of Brooklyn, N.Y., is accused of calling the WWE headquarters on East Main Street more than 20 times last week, making threats to blow up the company's offices and saying he would visit the building with a machete and a machine gun, because it recently released former women's champion Mickie James, court records show.
He was arrested Friday and arraigned Monday afternoon at state Superior Court in Stamford. His defense attorney, Mickey Sherman, described Peygumbari as a fervent wrestling fan who did not intend to follow through on his threats.
Peygumbari was initially held at the Stamford Police Department this weekend on $250,000 bond. This was lowered to $5,000 Monday after Sherman argued for him to be released on a written promise to appear in court. Court records indicate he was known to New York City police as being emotionally disturbed.
During his arraignment, Peygumbari apologized to the court for the phone calls, calling them childish and foolish.
"I'm sorry for wasting the time of the courts and taxpayers' money," Peygumbari said while handcuffed and wearing a yellow T-shirt.
When Judge William Wenzel told Peygumbari he could not contact WWE employees, go near its Stamford offices, or attend their events, Peygumbari's response elicited chuckles from the courtroom.
"I'm not allowed to go to wrestling shows?" he asked...More?
