BRM Reviews the 7/1/2015 NXT

[Big Red Machine]

THE VAUDEVILLANS vs. DASH WILDER & SCOTT DAWSON- 3/10
Why are the Vaudevillans still around? Their gimmick is dumb and they haven’t improved in any way since their debut.

BECKY LYNCH INJURY NEWS- she’ll be off of TV for a few weeks, but when she comes back she wants to win the title. Cool.

BARON CORBIN vs. TUCKER KNIGHT- DUD!
Baron Corbin has now entered “The Ascension Zone,” which mean all of his squashes from here on out will be given a DUD!

ENZO, CASS, & THE VAUDEVILLANS BOTHER REGAL- these two teams are facing off for #1 contendership next week.

FINN BALOR VIDEO PACKAGE PART 3- nowhere near as good as the other parts.
MVP SIGHTING!

EVA MARIE TRAINING VIDEO- Well… Eva doesn’t look completely terrible now, but more importantly… SARA DEL REY SIGHTING!

CARMELLA vs. EMMA (w/Dana Brooke)- 2.75/10
The person with the sign declaring that “Carmella is the queen of NXT,” can go f*ck right off.

BULL DEMPSEY IS FAT AND WANTS JUNK FOOD- He is also a slob. Regal lectures him. This angle is dumb, but at least it seems to be ending.

DEVIN INTERVIEWS JASON JORDAN LAST WEEK- Chad Gable shows up again. He’s getting quite annoying.

TYLER BREEZE vs. TYE DILLENGER- 2.5/10
Tyler’s new seasonal resident is in Cairo, Egypt. In the middle of the summer? What an idiot!

EMMA & DANA BOTHER SASHA-I don’t like it. Why are we turning Sasha babyface. I mean… a BFF reunion won’t be awesome without Summer Rae, so why build to it? Also, Dana’s delivery is way too goofy. Then again, this whole segment was a little goofy.

KEVIN OWENS & RHYNO vs. FINN BALOR & SAMOA JOE- 7/10
Great for such a short match. Balor pins Owens to build to The Beast in the East, but if I were booking it, I’d have had Balor pin Rhyno instead.


This show was the same as a lot of the recent NXT shows have been: a bunch of squashes or short matches followed by a main event… and I’m not a fan. It makes everything but the main event feel entirely pointless.

I'm ok with Sasha going face, it is developmental either way, but I wish they would go all the way with super babyface, have Sasha, being the loner that she is, take on both of them by herself, get beat up, and have Charlotte or Becky do the save. I just don't wanna see Sasha suck up to someone to find a team. This also doesn't compute if they wanna bring back Becky as a babyface to challenge for the title.

Agree, we could have done without 2 matches and just have 3 long matches and the Balor segment

I'm pretty certain they're going to go with the former scenario, with Charlotte being the one who makes the save.

I agree-Vaudevillans are absolute crap. Boring as can be. The much smaller and quieter atmosphere does that no favors either for that matter. Corbin needs a finisher with more intensity and awe inspiring power. A monster should not be using a face slamming move like that.

Carmella wasr defeated much quicker than I imagined. Borderline squashed. Breeze is so stupid. I get that they're REALLY trytrying to go all out with the annoying arrogant heel thing-but the fur wrap silly looking thing all over the selfie stick-no. It looks like some kind of dog toy where you cause something to pop in and out to excite and get their attention-....

"OH THAT S NASTAY."

Yeah, Dana's voice in general is so ridiculous it's annoying. Just the extra emphasis she puts on certain syllables is too much when coupled with her accent. It almidyr seemed though that they all saw someone across the room who didn't see them and the heels were like "Oh shit-uh uh." , for a second. I think if it's Becky though who's to become the partner-then she could just say "But afterwards-I want the rematch. And we do this right. " And build it around an ultimate respect thing.

Why are the Vaudvillians even considered contenders? They've had two matches since they returned! Mojo and Ryder have an equal amount of victories under their belts! Plus, Enzo pinned one half of the tag champs in that six person tag; shouldn't they just get the shot?

This.
