BRM Reviews the 7/13/2016 NXT (BALOR VS. NAKAMURA!)
Posted: Jul 14th, '16, 23:36
SAMOA JOE PROMO- F*CKING AWESOME! Maybe even Promo of the Year.
RHYNO CONFRONTS SAMOA JOE- He wants a match with Joe. Joe says he’ll beat Rhyno up on his own time. A small child with perfect timing shouted “HE’S SCARED!”
FINN BALOR vs. SHINSUKE NAKAMURA- 8.5/10
Same “work over the knee vs. Boma Ye” story we’ve seen with Tanahashi & Nakamura a hundred times, but despite having seen it a hundred times it never fails to be awesome. Putting Balor in there instead of Tanahashi made it feel more fresh but no less awesome. The only real strike against this was that it didn’t feel like Balor had much of a chance. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him on Smackdown next week.
At this rate NXT is just going to run away with Best TV Show of the Year.
