BRM Reviews the 11/20/2013 NXT

[Big Red Machine]

BO SEGMENT- he puts on a slideshow and is generally the most annoying person in the world and the best heel ever. He does an Oprah impression and gives out cookies. He also used the word "sports-entertained" as a verb. As in "I sports-entertained in front of hundreds of thousands of people."

JBL comes out and congratulates Bo. Sami Zayn, who is suspended, comes out and JBL says that Sami should know better than to interrupt the champ and the boss. Sami says he wants to be reinstated so that he can "take the NXT Championship off of that delusional cheeseball." JBL says that Sami has served his time, so he will rein state him because that is best for business. Bo calls Sami a sore loser. Sami says that he has no problem working his way back up from the bottom. Then JBL tells him that he will be part of a Beat The Clock Challenge tonight to determine the #1 contender to the NXT Title tonight. A great segment except that Sami's statement doesn't mesh well at all with JBL's announcement.

BEAT THE CLOCK CHALLENGE MATCH: Colin Cassidy vs. Alexander Rusev (w/Lana)- 4/10

ADRIAN NEVILLE PROMO- GREAT! Also, there is a new interviewer chick.

THE NEW CHICK INTERVIEWS BAILEY- Wow. Bailey doesn't seem mentally damaged for once.

BEAT THE CLOCK CHALLENGE MATCH: Tyler Breeze vs. Kassius Ohno- 4.25/10
I loved the constant flash-pin attempts. They really added an important sense of urgency to this match.

HUNICO & CAMACHO vs. TWO JOBBERS- squash. And when I say squash, I mean like an Erick Stevens squash in ROH. Thirty seconds, if that. After the match they say they are coming after the Ascension.

A DIFFERENT NEW INTERVIEWER (not a chick) INTERVIEWS KASSIUS OHNO- he cuts an okay promo and then has a confrontation with Lana, who tells him he made a big mistake by beating Rusev's time. Ohno makes a Rocky & Bullwinkel reference, then says that after he wins the NXT Title, he will give Rusev the first shot.


BEAT THE CLOCK CHALLENGE MATCH: Aiden English vs. Adrian Neville- 4.25/10
They did what they could with the time that they had.

ASCENSION PROMO- GREAT! They really looked like scary mtoerhf*ckers.

BEAT THE CLOCK CHALLENGE MATCH: Leo Kruger vs. Sami Zayn- no rating.
That is some f*cking perfect split second timing. We will not be getting Sami vs. Neville ina #1 contendership match next week, with the winner of that match getting a title match the week after that.

A decent episode of NXT. I generally don't like Beat The Clock, but they did some cool things with it here.

Hopefully that's what the big squash and calling out the Ascension indicate. I'm much higher on Hunico than Camacho, but that might just be because I haven't seen him have the chance to do anything.
