Nuke Fusion:
"My vote would not be going to Jack Jones, even if I was able to. Not even turning up to your match is pathetic, I hope I don't see him around again. But, now, on to who I think deserves to be named the top rookie for the first week of Expansion.
I have enjoyed watching Joey Desch in the ring for the past year or so, admiring his potential, and I have to say that this kid does have a great future in this business. His victory was well claimed, and kept me watching the whole way in.
However, even in his loss, TGI Huk actually shone through in that match. His Pro - Draze - should be proud of his Rookie, even if he hadn't had that much time to help him. He did dominate some periods in that match, and did so well.
Andrew Thorne has great potential, especially with former World Champion Jed behind him. With such a great Mentor, this guy will learn just what it takes to reach the top of this business. However, we really don't hear him talk all that much, and perhaps that might hold him back. But, saying that, a lot of people have proven that a lot of talking can end up at nothing, and Thorne does deliver in the ring.
Kyle Dracious has some dominance, and that can make this man a big hit around here - excuse the pun. I can actually see this man going a long way in this competition, as long as he sticks to the rules and doesn't stray too far from his Pro, Brody Robinson, someone who has the experience to really get Dracious dominating.
Kid Omega .. Now, I must say, this guy has clearly become the dark horse of the competition. Where my Rookie, Jack Jones, did not turn up at all for this match, we really didn't get to scout Omega at all. So in all honesty, I think this guy can really start to pull strings now, to try and win this competition.
With eliminations continuing officially next match card, it's going to be a tough call as to who will be voted out. But if I'm just looking at this week, I'll say that TGI Huk takes my vote as the Rookie of the week. Congrats and keep up the hard work, both in and out the ring."

Yuke:
I'd still say its too early in the competition for me to decide a clear cut winner.
I shall however give my insights on this one.
Desch being the winner of WGUT 2009, gained a lot of momentum already going into this, however with that being said I've only seen his ring work and not his promo skills at all.
Alas one cannot get a feel for the character or personality if all we see are matches.
While there is a saying that says 'Real Men Speak With Their Fists'
this doesn't apply in the wrestling world. He might do well with his pro Marxx, that is if Marxx can keep out of the parties long enough to teach Desch.
Andrew Thorne, he was a participant in FWD (EWA's Equivalent to WWE:Ex), and he still hasn't learned a thing. His character seems quite boring to me, and its essentially something I've seen millions of times in the past.
Also his selling needs work, I'll also state that every time his opponent gets the upper hand he intentionally tries to get himself DQed or gets himself counted out.
It doesn't help him at all, especially his pro who has to resort to shooting people..
Kid Omega - A member of the FWD stable Velocity, I've seen his type before the whole Straight Edge thing, I think he needs to diverse himself away from that and work on a better gimmick to truly hone himself. He's got the promo skills and the ring skills, but I just have a question.. Who's his pro?
Dracious - Another member of Velocity, I'm not sure I agree with the choice of pro considering they broke in the business essentially around the same time. Brody is probably 2 years his senior. Kyle was trained by Nuke Fusion, so... Why's he here?
He's got the in ring ability, and the mic skills.
TGI Huk - Umm what can I say about this guy. I can't really say I'm a fan of his name, his work and I haven't seen a promo from him that really defines his character. I mean...
What are you, who are you? Draze needs to do something to give this guy definition or send him home.
As far as my vote goes, I'm giving it to Omega with Dracious coming in a close second.

Jed: I'm not going to lie. I didn't really pay attention to the other "Rookies" last show, because I was backstage help out My "Rookie" work out. Think of strategies. It seemed like it paid off in the match against Kyle Dracious. Even though I barely watched the last show, I've seen these "Rookies" in other wrestling companies. Kyle is a very talented wrestler and is sure to reach the top of the business. He is probably everyone's pick in this contest. And to think, my "Rookie" beat the Front Runner. He beat the guy that is most like to be a future WWE:E champion even if he doesn't win this contest.
I'd say the same thing about Joey Desch. Joey and I have had a match or two in another company. He even beat me, a former WWE:E champion & current tag champion, to be name the winner of the WGUT singles tournament. So what does that say about his wrestling ability in this business. What would probably help him out is if he practice doing promos. Or find a tag partner that could help him out. Maybe a veteran.
Lets see. Kid Omega is a wrestler on the rise. I've sent him a few messages and what would probably help his craft. I know what you all are thinking. Why help out the opponent. Reason being I want everyone in this contest to be there best. This contest maybe be about the winner get a title shot, but in my eyes this is a teaching experience for them. If they, the "Rookies", ask for some help or advice, I'll give them it.
Now two rookies that will probably need a lot of work will be TGI Huk and Jack Jones. I have no advice for you two as I'm not sure what to say and how to say it. Study tapes guys, learn some moves you like to do. I'll watch the show when I can see them in the archives. Maybe I missed something, so My opinion might change. Sorry. Till then best of Luck everyone.
Pro: Jed
Rookie: Andrew Throne
My Vote would go to Andrew, but I can't vote for my rookie, so I'll go with the wrestler Andrew beat, Kyle Dracious.
