The Pros are all on stage. LayCool are showing off their Best Friends necklaces. Awww! They are so thoughtful!
Striker reviews the rules for the poll. Halfsies! Half from the fans, half from the Pros. Matt tells the Rookies they’ll have 60 seconds to talk about anything except why they should NOT be eliminated. Mark Henry applauds his Rookie, Lucky Cannon. Michelle does not approve. Lucky’s got nothin’ on Kaval! Kaval decides his topic will be “dreams.” DREAM BIG! He says he had a dream to perform on the greatest stage of them all. He said people told him he couldn’t do it, so he wrestled for 10 years as Low Ki. It isn’t about the size of the fighter, but the size of the fight he brings. LayCool approves! YAY! Alex Riley bullies some of the guys, saying Kaval is just trying out for the part of Morgan Freeman as the voice of God. Don’t be jealous, Riley!
A video for Percy Watson plays.
Michelle: SHOWTIME Percy Watson!
Layla (complete with jazz hands!): Wowwwww! Didn’t his trunks say “Ohhh yeah”?
Michelle: Ohh no!
Maybe it’s a good thing Percy didn’t get paired with LayCool. While Kaval can learn from them, Percy might just complain that he didn’t get a BFF necklace.
A video for Kaval plays! It’s about time he gets one! MVP says he’s impressive. Miz says his in-ring ability is very, very good. Mark Henry says he is the most polished out of all the Rookies. Kofi notes he has a quiet confidence about himself. It seems as though all the Pros think Kaval has “it.” Well.. except for his personality. He needs a larger than life personality and he shouldn’t take himself so seriously. LayCool talk about his frown, Michelle thinks it’ll be his only setback, but they’re going to work on it. Cody Rhodes says what he finds to be the most interesting is who Kaval’s Pros are. Mark Henry says Kaval being with LayCool will be a great learning experience and Miz adds in that they know a lot of little things Kaval doesn’t. Cody says that in a fair world, Kaval would be the next breakout star. What’s he mean by that? Kaval’s going to win, fair and square! LayCool agree that the next breakout star will definitely be Kaval. The fans love him, they love him, he loves them and it’s a win-win situation!
Backstage, LayCool is with Kaval. Why is he not wearing his shirt!? Is he hurt? Is that why he’s frowning? Where is your shirt, Mister! Husky Harris bumps into him, saying sorry “Small Fry” but he didn’t see him, because he isn’t that noticeable. Uh excuse you! Michelle fires back, saying he was noticed enough to get placed number one! Where was Husky placed in the poll? Oh, that’s right, last! Husky says it’s precious how Kaval’s girlfriends are talking for him. Kaval says the only talking he needs to do will be out in the ring. Good, because it’s Kaval vs. Husky up next! Husky says he’s going to have some fun with Kaval, and Kaval says yes, they’re going to have a lot of fun tonight. REAL TALK! SEE YA!
Match time! LayCool are on the apron, pointing out Husky’s thunder thighs. The bell rings, and here we go! Kaval gets in his kicks and brings it to Husky. Who’s talkin’ now? Husky turns things around and starts hammering on Kaval. Michelle and Layla get the crowd into it, cheering and clapping for Kaval. Kaval gets on the turnbuckle, but Husky hits him off and bounces into the ropes, knocking LayCool down. NOOOOO!!! Kaval, being the gentleman that he is, goes to check on his Pros. Husky grabs him and slams him back into the ringpost. He slams Kaval face first back into the ring. He crushes Kaval under him with a big splash and picks up the win. ARE LAYCOOL OKAY?! He needs a wide load sign! The referee goes to check on LayCool who look to be alright. Phew. After the match, Matt Striker comes out and says he hopes LayCool is okay! We do too! A shot of LayCool show them yelling at Husky. “YOU’RE FAT!” screams Layla. Matt tells the Pros to get together because after the break, it’ll be time to reveal the poll.
Back from commercial break, the Pros are shown after having submitted their votes. LayCool looks like they’re still hurting, but they’re tough! They’ll pull through. Any average person who got knocked down by a walrus would still be on the floor, but not LayCool, oh no!
Michael McGillicutty is number one. WHAT!? Kaval is ranked at number two. Oh yeah, LayCool are fully recovered! They jump up, cheering for their Rookie. We love you, Kaval! The bottom two are Eli and Husky. Shocker!! Eli comes in last place. Husky just barely escapes being eliminated again. Maybe next time he won’t be such a jerk.
After taking out nearly all the Rookies and his Pro John Morrison, Eli stomps to the back. For such a big guy, he sure does throw a temper tantrum like a 4 year old. Go shave your mustache.
So another week, another show, another poll! Kaval may not be number one, but that’s okay! The competition isn’t over yet. He’s still got LayCool by his side for support and advice. Judging from his video, all the Pros are impressed with him. If he could just learn to smile a little more, he’d be well on his way to becoming flawless! Maybe next week, Kaval will get his revenge on Husky and pick up another victory. Or even better! Matt should let the Pros get a chance to talk again! We never get tired of hearing LayCool or their Real Talk!
