BRM Reviews the 9/2/2015 NXT

[Big Red Machine]

DUSTY TAG TOURNAMENT VIDEO- I loved the fact that they took the standard Dusty footage we always see and spliced in footage of him at the Performance Center, walking to people.

DUSTY RHODES TAG TEAM CLASSIC FIRST ROUND MATCH: The Ascension vs. Baron Corbin & Rhyno- 5.5/10
The Ascension is getting CHEERED?! The Full Sail crowd must be more desperate to not have “their” show taken away again than I thought. The Ascension actually played the big dominant babyfaces very well and looked… well… not like sh*t. NXT is truly a magical place.

DEVIN TAYLOR INTERVIEWS ADRIAN NEVILLE & SOLOMON CROWE- did Solomon get kidnapped and replaced with an imposter?

ALEXA BLISS! vs. BLUE PANTS- 2.5/10
Stupid ring announcer botched Alexa’s hometown. How dare she!
Fine or the time it was given. The fans chanted “All-blue everything!” I choose to interpret this as a plea for Alexa to turn babyface rather than as some sort of misguided support for Blue Pants. Alexa had awesome facials.

WILLIAM REGAL TALKS TO… HOLY SH*T THAT’S JOHNNY GARGANO AND TOMMASO CIAMPA!
Tyler Breeze interrupted him. He asks Regal to find him an “important” tag team partner. Regal tells us that Johnny & Ciampa will face Breeze & a partner next week… and that partner will be BULL DEMPSEY.

EMMA PROMO FROM LAST WEEK- good.

APOLLO CREWS vs. A JOBBER- DUD!
It’s going WAY too long. This should be a squash. I shouldn’t be watching a jobber put the new star in an armlock for thirty seconds.

DEVIN INTERVIEWS JORDAN & GABLE- good.
Gabel is hilarious.

DEVIN INTERVIEWS FINN BALOR & SAMOA JOE- good

EVA MARIE vs. BILLIE KAY- 2.75/10
There are chants for Eva and at least one “All Red Everything” sign. What is the world coming to?
The match was fine for the time it got.

COLIN, ENZO, & HYPE BROS PROMO FROM LAST WEEK- boring.

DUSTY RHODES TAG TEAM CLASSIC FIRST ROUND MATCH: Solomon Crowe & Adrian Neville vs. Jason Jordan & Chad Gable- 6.75/10
I MUST see more of this Jordan-Gable team. Also, they need to have cute nickname.

A fun episode of NXT.
