BRM Reviews the (second) 12/5/2018 NXT UK

Post by Big Red Machine » Dec 5th, '18, 22:24

JOSEPH CONNERS vs. DAN MOLONEY- 4.5/10
Conners wins again.

RADZIE INTERVIEWS ISLA DAWN- meh
Radzie starts off by saying that “we recently found out all about ‘The White Witch of NXT UK.’” No we didn’t. We got a quick video package in which she said she fights for herself, then threatened to poison people or something like that.
He asks Isla “how will who you are help you to rise to the top?” That’s a stupid question. Obviously the fact that she is a witch will help her rise to the top because she’ll be able to fly there on her broomstick. Duh.
Isla started to talk but was interrupted by Rhea Ripley insisting that she isn’t “suitable competition.” Rhea says she has found a different opponent for tonight and suggests that Isla watch that match very closely.

MOUSTACHE MOUNTAIN ARE ACCOSTED BY WOLFGANG & THE COFFEYS AS THEY ARRIVE AT THE BUILDING EARLIER TODAY- the groups are quickly separated. Nigel described this as “tensions at an all-time high between the two top factions in NXT UK.” “All-time” in this case means a grand total of about two months.

DAVE MASTIFF vs. “WILD BOAR” MIKE HITCHMAN- 5/10
A fine hoss fight.

RADZIE INTERVIEWS DAVE MASTIFF- Mastiff sounded a lot nicer than I wanted to image him sounding. Eddie Dennis slipped in after Mastiff left and made a rude gesture.

TYSON T-BONE vs. EL LIGERO- 4/10
The announcers told us that El LIgero was upset about TJP’s disrespect of Lucha House Party over on 205 Live. Good cross-promotion there. Unfortunately, they couldn’t do much to make me care about the match.

RHEA RIPLEY vs. CANDYFLOSS- good squash.
Maybe a little too good, as I found Candyfloss extremely annoying and just wanted to see Rhea obliterate her. Rhea faked showing Candyfloss respect after the match, then beat her up some more.

“FLASH” MORGAN WEBSTER BOTHERS FABIAN AICHER- fine
Flash was cutting a promo but then then saw Aichner walking by and got in his face for no reason other than that Webster’s tag partner Mark Andrews lost to Aichner last week. Webster is a tool. He challenged Aichner to a match next week, so I have the thought of the Evolve Champion destroying this little twerp to look forward to.

SID SCALA MAKES AN ANNOUNCEMENT- His announcement is that Trent Seven will face Joe Coffey next week. Also next week there will be another announcement, which will have to do with the NXT UK Tag Team Titles.

TRAVIS BANKS vs. WOLFGANG (w/the Coffey Brothers)- 6/10
The heels interfered, so Moustache Mountain came out to help Banks. Banks got the win with some help from Trent Seven. It was the Warrior/Rude WrestleMania V finish, but without the holding of the legs, so it was only a little bit of cheating, and in response to the heels repeatedly doing so.


A pretty meh episode of NXT UK. One good then one meh seems to be the pattern at this point.
