BRM Reviews the 10/5/2016 NXT

[Big Red Machine]

THE DUSTY RHODES TAG TEAM CLASSIC FIRST-ROUND MATCH: The Bollywood Boys vs. The Authors of Pain (w/Paul Ellering)- squishity squash
The Bollywood Boys cut a very lame inset promo before the match, then got obliterated.

RICH SWANN vs. PATRICK CLARK- 2/10 (but fine for the time it got)
Patrick Clark’s new gimmick appears to be TNA Orlando Jordan. Clark looked pretty good here, and he would have looked very athletic had he not been standing next to RICH SWANN. Clark was unable to handle this, and thus he lost.

BILLIE KAY & PEYTON ROYCE MAKE FUN OF LIV MORGAN AFTER HER LOSS TO ASUKA- fine.

DANIELLE KAMELA vs. PEYTON ROYCE (w/Billie Kay)- 0.75/10 (basically a long squash)
Throw Emma in with Royce and Kay and we can finally have the Australian World Order.

CHARLY INTERVIEWS BOBBY ROODE & TYE DILLENGER- perfect execution here. Most of the credit goes to Roode of course. They also built up Sanity as a bit of a mystery and told us it would pay off next week.

DAN MATHA GETS HIS ASS KICKED BY SAMOA JOE- GREAT segment.
A brilliant subversion of expectations that somehow made Joe look even stronger. Also Joe’s promo was very good. He has given Regal a deadline of one week, so next week’s show is looking pretty huge.

DASHA FUENTES INTERVIEWS RICH SWANN & NO WAY JOSE- these two are great together.

THE DUSTY RHODES TAG TEAM CLASSIC FIRST-ROUND MATCH: The Revival vs. Cedric Alexander & Andrade “Cien” Almas- 7.25/10
Great match with a great heel turn afterwards.

A fine show from NXT, despite the preponderance of squashes.
