Posted: Sep 22nd, '14, 14:56
OPENING SEGMENT- Titus' promo had good words, but not the best delivery. He seemed very uncomfortable at times, which really surprised me, because is usually very good. The other guys were all good. Regal then came out and booked Titus & Tyson vs. Sami & Neville. Regal got a huge pop and people chanted for him, and it really does feel great to see the man get the tremendous respect due to him in such a public way.
CHARLOTTE vs. EMMA-
Alex Riley said exactly what I was thinking when he said "Hey. Look. The Emma signs are still here."
JUSTIN GABRIEL vs. HIDEO ITAMI- no rating. A GREAT showcase forKENTA Itami.
In response to Rich Brennan talking about the "strong Japanese style" that Itami brings, Alex Riley mentioned that Justin Gabriel wrestles a "South African style." On the other end of the competence spectrum, Renee Young brought up the fact that Itami was trained by Kenta Kobashi.
POST-MATCH ANGLE- The Ascension jump Itami and overwhelm him
CJ PARKER vs. BARON CORBIN- squash
THE CHICK FROM THE HAIR SALON YELLS AT ENZO & COLIN AT THE NXT PERFORMANCE CENTER-
She got fired from her hair dressing job because of them, so she wants them to get her a job as a "fighter" in WWE.
TITUS O'NEIL & TYSON KIDD vs. SAMI ZAYN & ADRIAN NEVILLE- 7/10
Great storytelling, but it would have been even better if they could have gotten the story to play into the finish a little more.
A good show from NXT. The perfect first chapter to follow up on Takeover: Fatal Four-Way.
