BRM Reviews the 2/24/2016 NXT (boring)

AMERICAN ALPHA vs. BLAKE & MURPHY (w/Alexa Bliss!)- 6.75/10
OH MY G-D! STOP INTERRUPTING MATCHES! I ALREADY HAVE THE NETWORK! YOU DON’T NEED TO ADVERTISE WRESTLEMANIA TO ME!
Jordan & Gable continue to put on very great matches simply by sticking to the basic fundamental of tag team psychology.

I feel like Alexa! is one of those managers who it would be really entertaining to have mic’d at ringside. I’m not saying she’s Larry Sweeney, but she’s got the same of cartoonish-but-not-actually-cartoonish half trash-talker, half cheerleader thing going on that Sweeney made work so well.

REGAL MAKES SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS-
1. In two weeks, it will be Joe vs. Zayn, 2 out of 3 falls this time, we’ll really have a winner I promise
2. Next week, a major new talent will debut.

APOLLO CREWS vs. CHRISTOPHER GERARD- 6/10
Speaking of new talent… BIFF BUSICK!
When Biff did that pose towards the camera and snarled before hitting that big uppercut, he looked like such a goofball. Not good.

ALEX REYES INTERVIEWS CARMELLA & BAYLEY- good

DASH & DAWSON JUMP ENZO IN A PARKING LOT ON WWE.COM- Cass made the save.
I liked how unpolished the footage was. It felt more real.

TOMMASO CIAMPA vs. BULL DEMPSEY- 2/10
Fat Bull Dempsey is too fat to get his fat shirt of by his fat self.

SAMOA JOE PROMO- fine

SAMI ZAYN PROMO- fine.

BAYLEY & CARMELLA vs. EVA MARIE & NIA JAX- 5.5/10
Wow. Those Thesz presses are ugly. I know that this isn’t news or anything, but Carmella is not Trish Stratus (and probably never will be). It had the main event feel, and was probably the best we could have hoped for considering who was in the match.

REGAL & BALOR BACKSTAGE- BALOR VS. NEVILLE NEXT WEEK!

A boring episode of NXT.
