BRM Reviews the 7/24/2014 NXT (Terrible)
Posted: Jul 30th, '14, 01:19
THE ASCENSION vs. TWO JOBBERS- DUD on principle
IT’S BEEN A YEAR OF THESE F*CKING SQUASHES AND I’M SICK AND TIRED OF IT!
LESNAR VS. CENA HYPE VIDEO- short and great!
TYLER BREEZE vs. MOJO RAWLEY (GO TERPS!)- DUD!
Alex Riley accidentally buried WWE by saying (essentially) that Mojo only came to WWE because he couldn’t get into the NFL. Mojo got beaten in one move. This made Mojo look like a complete and total joke who no one can ever take as a serious threat again.
NXT WOMEN’S TITLE MATCH: Charlotte(c) vs. Summer Rae- 2/10
Ugh. This… was not good. It was okay at best, until Summer tried a new move which didn’t look good at all, and the crowd totally lost interest in the match. They started doing the wave, and barely reacted to the false finish. Charotte won with Bow to the Queen.
WWE’s cameramen actually know what they are doing, so they made an effort to NOT shoot the push-up facebuster from the side! Take note, TNA (and ROH cameraman from 2004-2005).
ALEXA BLISS VIDEO PACKAGE- Totally random, but I’d be completely fine if the rest of the show was just clips of Alexa Bliss. In fact, I’d be fine if Clips of Alexa Bliss was its own show. Come on, WWE Network! Make my dream come true!
THE VAUDVILLANS vs. KALISTO & SIN CARA- 4/10
A good showcase for Kalisto & Sin Cara. Introducing those two to the main roster as a tag team might well be the only thing that can save the Sin Cara character. Actually… that’s a brilliant idea. Forget I said it. I’m stealing it for my fantasy booking.
ADRIAN NEVILLE vs. RUSEV (w/Lana)- 3.5/10
Lana cut a very boring promo before the match. The match itself was very short and had a bad finish. Neville was setting up for the Red Arrow, but Tyler Breeze shoved him off the rope for the DQ. Then Rusev beat Neville up afterwards. This was the best finish under the circumstances… but the circumstance never should have come about! You don’t want Rusev to lose, but you also don’t want him to get a win and thus have reason to demand a title match against Neville which he would then have to lose… so just DON’T BOOK THE MATCH!
An atrocious episode of NXT.
STUPID ANNOUNCER QUOTES:
1. Alex Riley asked Renee Young if she had heard Tyler Breeze’s song. This would be the same song that was playing NO LESS THAN TWO MINUTES AGO because IT’S HIS ENTRANCE MUSIC.
