BRM Reviews the 10/21/2015 NXT

[Big Red Machine]

ASUKA vs. BILLIE KAY- squash
Billie cut a decent in-set promo during her entrance.

TYLER BREEZE PROMO- good

SCOTT DAWSON & DASH WILDER vs. ENZO AMORE & COLIN CASSADY (w/Carmella)- 3.25/10
Colin & Enzo win clean via roll-up, but Dash & Dawson beat them up after the match.

EVA MARI IN PARIS VIDEO- good arrogant heel stuff.

DANNY BURCH vs. JAMES STORM- squash
I laughed my ass off at the way they buried TNA. Rich Brennan mentioned that Storm had been in WCW and then spent the last fifteen years ‘on the independent circuit.”
Maybe it’s just been too many years of “Longnecks and Rednecks” but this new entrance song doesn’t seem to fit him at all.

APOLLO CREWS VIDEO PACKAGE- great!

NIA JAX VIDEO PACKAGE- she already debuted last week! STOP IT WITH THE F*CKING VIDEO PACKAGES!


PEYTON ROYCE vs. F*CK YES IT’S ALEXA BLISS! (w/Blake & Murphy)- 3.75/10
Alexa is my antidote to Nia Jax:
Alexa is exciting in the ring. Jax is boring.
Alexa is dripping with personality. Jax has some taglines that WWE is attempting to pass off as “personality.”
Alexa is hot. Jax is not.
Jax spends all of her time in video packages. Alexa actually wrestles.
Royce has terrible music.


ALEXA BLISS PROMO- great.

BARON CORBIN vs. RHYNO- 6/10
Good finish, but a pretty dull match before that point.

SAMOA JOE PROMO- decent

An okay show from NXT.

this is what i usually hate from the main roster and they're slowly bringing that to NXT

I understand your frustration, but Jax has had ONE match. Give her a break.

Alexa Bliss is awesome, tho.

The NXT Women's division looks strong as hell and I was worried once they called up all the top gals sans Bayley. But with Alexa, Asuka, Dana, Emma, Carmela, Eva, Nia, Billy, Peyton, Evie, and Athena, the division continues to look strong. I honestly feel like Alexa is going to be one of the top divas on the main roster when she gets called up. I mean, Trish like status. They're trying too hard with Eva Marie and she is still atrocious in every way.

It's not even that she was bad in her match (she wasn't impressive or anything, but I don't think I'd go as far as to say she was "bad"). It's that they spent TWO MONTHS building this up with the same damn video package, then she had a match wasn't anything more than passable, and now they want me to be exictd about seeing her again so they use THE SAME F*CKING VIDEO PACKAGE. It seems to me that it would have been more productive to send her out there for a squash or let cut a real promo in front of the camera.

With Eva Marie, I think they know what they're doing. They are trying too hard on purpose. I think this is meant to be her version of those Bo Dallas promos he said that most cheesy babyface things in such an obnoxious way that it turned him heel. I'm almost certain that his what they are doing with Eva here.

yeah, that's exactly what they're doing, but this will be bigger, she doesn't need to work around with words like Bo (which lead to people liking Bo), she simply ignores people reactions which obviously causes more heat. the day she comes out and decides to mess with Bayley, it will be nuclear, it will be 1996 Bash levels of heel heat
