BRM Reviews the 3/11/2015 NXT (Promo of the Year!)

[Big Red Machine]

COLIN CASSADY & ENZO AMORE PROMO- fun, but not one of their best

#1 CONTENDERSHIP MATCH: Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady vs. Lucha Dragons- 4/10
Wow. The Lucha Dragons are actually getting booed! Colin & Enzo are THAT over. Carmella was not at ringside so that Enzo wouldn’t get distracted.

ALEX RILEY VIDEO PACKAGE- very good, aside from the part where he told us his objective was to “go out there and entertain.” How about trying to WIN?!

KEVIN OWENS VIDEO PACKAGE- great.

CARMELLA vs. ALEXA BLISS!- 3.25/10
Colin and Enzo were not out with Carmella, which robbed us of the AMAZING moment that would have been Alexa standing next to Big Cass. It’s entirely possible that if Alexa got down on her knees, she wouldn’t be able to give Cass a blowjob.
Alexa has new gear that isn’t quite as cute has her old gear, but is still super totally cute. Just like she is.
They actually had a much longer match than I was expecting, although their moves were still kept to the basics (especially Carmella’s). I know I say this every time she shows up on screen (or every time someone mentions her anywhere on the forum), but Alexa Bliss is the bestest babyface ever! Somehow, in her time off, Alexa has developed an even more fiery comeback (although the timing of the camera cut makes me suspect that she missed a bit on the Glitz Flip [and if she didn’t, then the cut sure made it look like she did]).
Carmella definitely has her heel mannerisms down. She just needs to learn more moves and get more experience.

ALEX RILEY PROMO- HOLY F*CKING SH*T THIS IS THE PROMO OF THE YEAR!

CJ PARKER vs. ALEX RILEY- 3.5/10

KEVIN OWENS PROMO- good.

HIDEO ITAMI vs. TYLER BREEZE- 6.5/10
Holy crap KENTA just lost cleanly to Tyler Breeze! I didn’t see that coming at all. I think a heelish win would have been much better here.

A very good show from NXT, especially that Alex Riley promo!
