BRM Reviews the 9/30/2021 NXT UK

MOUSTACHE MOUNTAIN vs. ASHTON SMITH & OLIVER CARTER- 7.25/10
Symbiosis came out to bother people, but Jack Starz and Dave Mastiff came out to stop them. Moustache Mountain picked up a win, which the announcers told us would go a long way towards earning them a shot at the NXT UK Tag Team Titles.

JINNY ENDS A PRESS CONFERENCE AT THE UK PERFORMANCE CENTER, THEN IS MEAN TO EMILIA MCKENZIE- good
Jinny says that Millie is pathetic and should stop trying to play second-fiddle to Meiko Satomura (who Millie was working out with at the moment). Millie says she doesn’t care what Jinny thinks.

NINA SAMEULS INTERRUPTS A DAVE MASTIFF AND JACK STARZ INTERVIEW WITH HER OWN MICROPHONE CLAIMING TO HAVE HER OWN SHOW- good
Nina twisted her question to then into talking about her own angles. This was actually quite the clever way to get over two angles in one interview segment.

XIA BROOKSIDE vs. DANI LUNA- 6/10
Luna outpowers Brookside and gets the win. Xia was very frustrated after the match.

SID SCALA’S INTERVIEW ABOUT BLAIR DAVENPORT IS INTERRUPTED BY STEVIE TURNER BARGING INTO HIS OFFICE AND DEMANDING THAT DAVENPORT BE REINSTATED SO THAT HE CAN GET HIS REVENGE- The timing here was quite the coincidence, but otherwise this was good. Sid said he would talk to Johnny Saint about it.

SAM GRADWELL’S INTERVIEW IS INTERRUPTED BY MARK ANDREWS ATTACKING HIM- great
Gradwell is such a joy to watch. I know I’m not supposed to say that about a heel, but he’s that great kind of heel where it’s fun to listen to him run his mouth, but you still want to see him get beaten up by the babyfaces.

JOSH MORRELL vs. CHARLIE DEMPSEY- 5.75/10
There was some good stuff in here (especially the finish), but if the idea here was to be a showcase for Dempsey, they Morrell get WAY too much in.

ILJA DRAGUNOV & A-KID FACE-TO-FACE- good
They pushed Ilja’s temper as a thing again.

WOLFGANG VS. NOAM DAR HERITAGE CUP #1 CONTENDERSHIP MATCH VIDEO PACKAGE- great

JORDAN DEVLIN vs. JOE COFFEY (w/Gallus)- 7.5/10
Good action. Devin was in control of the match when Mark Coffey picked up Devlin’s sunglasses and hopped onto the apron to distract him, which also distracted the referee and allowed Wolfgang to grab Joe Coffey’s arm so that Devin couldn’t pull him up for this finisher, and Coffey won soon after. This has to have been intended to be a double-turn, right?


A fine episode of NXT UK. Next week’s show looks quite good and quite big.
Hold #712: ARM BAR!
