BRM Reviews the 7/20/2016 NXT (great!)

[Big Red Machine]

SAMOA JOE vs. RHYNO- 5.75/10
“VOTE FOR RHYNO!” chants.
Really? That’s it? Seven minutes and a clean win for Joe? I’d think they’d at least try to build this up for a big title match or something.

ASUKA INTERVIEW- she doesn’t care if she has to defend her title against Nia, Bayley, or both.

NXT DRAFT PICKS VIDEO PACKAGE- they portrayed Alexa as a babyface. That was weird, but it’s probably the right way to introduce her, and she did just leave Blake & Murphy.

AMERICAN ALPHA vs. THE AUTHORS OF PAIN (w/Paul Ellering)- 7.25/10
I think The Other One is my favorite Author of Pain. He’s so much cooler than The Tattooed One.
The Authors jump American Alpha from behind on the ramp and beat them up. They got an entire commercial break to recover and still wanted to fight, so we still got our match. The match was very exciting. The Authors pick up another win, but they need a better finisher. The real thing people will remember about this match is Jason Jordan’s dive.

REVIVAL INTERVIEW- good stuff. Ciampa and Gargano showed up to remind us that they have a win over the champs.

HIDEO ITAMI RETURNS IN TWO WEEKS- cool!

PATRICK CLARK vs. AUSTIN ARIES- good squash
NO WAY JOSE IS BACK FOR REVENGE!

BAYLEY vs. NIA JAX- 7.75/10
A GREAT big-woman vs. little-woman story.

A great episode of NXT.

Plot twist... Alexa Bliss will be a face on SD...

Going to St Louis on Sunday though...gotta get hyped...oh wait no, all I do is stay hyped..

I'm already tired of these authors of pain dudes. I don't really see why they're in the position they're in and they haven't done anything different yet . I get exactly what they're attempting to do with them-ooohhh, tough guys , but who gives a fuck when they're just a little extra heavy and have no names? Open your mouth or get the fuck out, Paul Ellering.

I feel like Rhyno has just become "repetitive guy for Joe to beat , every once in a while, over and over again."

I mostly agree with you. It'd be a lot better if they just gave them names. I kind of like the silent Ellering, but only because he's so great with this facials and body language.

Call them "Alexander and Collins", for all I care...just don't call either of them Johnson...

When they were airing the thing about the NXT draftees..."Mojo Riley?"

"Awh you have gotta be kiddin' me!!!..."

Exactly.
