BRM Reviews the 3/16/2016 NXT (fun and newsworthy)

[Big Red Machine]

SAMI ZAYN PROMO-
He referred to himself as a “proud papa.” And here comes William Regal to tell him off for using Hunter’s phrase.
Or not. Instead he says that at Takeover: Dallas Zayn will face this man…
The screen is all static-y. Please don’t tell me it’s going to be Solomon Crowe.
NO! IT’S SHINSUKE NAKAMURA! And he got a HUGE pop.

When Nakamura was done with his short little promo, Graves asked “Phillips, do you know who that is?” and there is a part of me that figured that Graves asked because he legit wasn’t sure if Phillips had any idea who Shinsuke Nakamura was.

HYPE BROS vs. ANGELO DAWKINS & SOMEONE ELSE- squash
Oh dear G-d what is Mojo doing?

NXT AT THE ARNOLD FITNESS CLASSIC VIDEO- nowhere near enough footage of the hometown heroine, Alexa Bliss!

DANA, EMMA, & DEONNA PURRAZZO IN A HALLWAY- terrible.

DEONNA PURRAZZO vs. EMMA (w/Dana Brooke)- 3.75/10

TOMMASO CIAMPA vs. JESSE SORENSEN- squash
The rematch no one wanted to see from Glory By Honor XII.

EVA MARIE & NIA JAX vs. ASUKA & BAYLEY- 5.25/10
Lots of fun because of how much everyone despises Eva.

REGAL BOOKS BAYLEY VS. ASUKA FOR TAKEOVER: DALLAS- well… this will be interesting.

AUSTIN ARIES INTERVIEW- great
It makes me want to puke that their entire WrestleMania commercial is based around The Rock when he isn’t even going to wrestle on the show.

#1 CONTENDERSHIP MATCH: American Alpha vs. Vaudevillans- 6.75/10
Wow. Simon Gotch would be great if he didn’t look like a 19th century goofball.
HOLY F*CKING SH*T THAT HIGH-ANGLE GERMAN SUPLEX WAS INSANE!

A very fun and also newsworthy show from NXT.
