Welcome to the NXT Podcast, yourhome for weekly NXT reviews and insight.
The beautiful part of NXT is thatwhen one dream ends, another dream begins.
Find all of your NXT news recapsand analysis right here. So with
that being said, we only haveone question for you. Ah we thought,
(00:34):
so let's get the show started rightnow. All right, everyone,
this is Memphis Mark coming to youfrom Mullet Manor and we're going to do
the review for five to seven ofNXT. And they start off with Wes
Lee is back in the house,back from his injuries, uh some kind
(00:58):
of surgery or whatever on the onhis vertibraze and so he is back and
he jumps straight into it with amatch with Josh Briggs. Uh quite a
bit bigger. Uh definitely not asfast, but definitely a lot stronger.
And the size you know, Imean it is what it is in this
(01:19):
Uh and you're even gonna have Eyebarshow up in here. But uh,
this whole thing is about Josh Briggspretty much saying that you can't jump back
in line. You got to goto the back of the line when it
comes to the North American Championship.And uh, the match. You know,
Wes looks pretty good. Josh ofcourse is getting better every time I
(01:42):
see him. So they've got allthat going so that it was actually a
pretty good finish on this match,and Wes Lee's gonna end up winning it.
But uh, you've got the champup in the in the old muffet
box looking down and Eyevar and alittle bit of everything in this match.
But a good little start though,good little start in a good finish for
(02:02):
Wes. Uh. Uh so yeah, we got him back in the fold
and uh then they go through anddo a uh an underground recap with Natty
and yeah, well yeah, andthey did a recap all right. I
wasn't really uh you know, Iwasn't real happy on that match. Natty
(02:23):
did what she could. Uh butyeah, but then you're gonna have the
after math of the match, whichis Shana Basler coming of course with Lola
Ice. Uh and you've got Carmenuh Patrovis coming out with Natty and uh
man, I gotta say, uh, Carmen really has got some skills as
(02:46):
far as stand up fighting or youcan definitely tell she has done some competition
type before. I mean, that'sreally good. She's good on her feet.
Uh. But in this one,you know, and this one,
Shana and look, I like someof these guys on NXT, it's like
(03:07):
they're writing the writing. Whoever's doingit is free them, you know,
free them up or something that justShana just seems a little happier. It
comes through on her matches and uhyeah, she's gonna use the bottom of
the ring kind of unique a wayto uh, you know, get the
upper hand on Corman and end uprolling her back in and getting the tap
(03:31):
out. But I really have tosay, Shana looks, uh just looks
more at ease or just looks likeshe's having, you know, a better
time. But then they go fromthere, we've got valin Henry, uh
and they do the little recap onher doing her turn in the big bells
(03:55):
and yeah, so they've got KeanaJordan out here playing the victim. I
can't believe you would ever do thatthat type of you know, uh drama
in this in the soap opera.But uh yeah, so Keana pretty much
gets caught in the locker room.It seems that happens quite a bit,
(04:16):
saying something and h Valen hears herso uh yeah, they're going to uh
gonna have a match. So it'sit's amazing how that works out. Uh.
But yeah, they go into aa little bit of the review on
the North American Championship for the ladiesthat's coming up, and they're they do
(04:39):
a couple of spots uh to wherethey're going over the combine and pretty much
all it is is an NFL styletraining, you know. And uh they've
got the guys and the gals outthere just doing some competition, some basic
stuff. Uh, and they youknow, highlight a few people that apparently
(05:00):
are probably very world class type inthat field anyway, from an ex w
NBA player to a you know,some gymnast. I mean, there's some
talent in that locker room. Sothey make it look good. But pretty
pretty much all it is is asomebody watched the NFL and hey man,
we need to do that, andthey did that. Uh. Yeah,
(05:25):
they do a little of that,and then they have a little spot with
the new quarter catch crew. Uhand you never know which one you're gonna
get out of the three. Butyou've got them having a little a little
problem with the new tag team andTyreek and Tyson and uh and these guys
are coming in like gangbusters on thescene. But uh, yeah, they
(05:48):
have a little they're gonna have amatch. But uh it seems uh you
know, since uh you know Demseeand Born and uh and Kemp have not
have not ate up the Don Tonywith the family, seems to have a
range for the uh you know,the referee not to show up. Uh,
(06:09):
so they got to have a refAnd who do they get but Stacks
And I've seen something some type ofangles on this before and uh it usually
works out pretty good, and thisone did too. Stacks pools pools it
off every time Fake or Little RobertOrdon, Little r Ko and and Dempsey
(06:33):
were the two out of this particulargroup to go at it to this time
against mister Tyson and mister Tyreek.And every time like they would roll up
one of the guys, uh youknow, Stacks would have to really check
the shoulders to make sure they werepinned. And uh and was just a
(06:53):
little over zealous on a lot ofhis calls against the no quarter. So
uh it was comical and and uhand fun. So I had no problem
with it. It's going to turnout to where there's a quick roll up
and a quick pin and uh,you know the new crew there, Tyson
(07:14):
and Tyrek, the new guys onthe scene. They're gonna get a pin
out of this. Uh, andof course you're gonna have Demsey have to
get the stick and and have todo a little hollering. And you know
we're gonna have a match coming up. I'm pretty sure there, quick count,
quick run, liked it, likedit all right. Then let me
(07:39):
see after that, we've got AriannaGrace and uh and Chelsea Green coming up
for her match, the main eventmatch against the champ Rock Sand and uh,
you know they've got g and avulnerable position. So they talk over
(08:00):
in this like only those two ladiescan, and GG flips out and says
she's had enough. So yeah,let me see after that, you've got
a quick little Rock sande heel promo. You know, I can't go wrong
there, quick one there, Andthen you've got this qualifying match for the
(08:22):
North American Championship and you've got meChen and miss Oriana Grace and me Chen
is definitely the vet in this particularmatchup. And Miss Grace, though she
will surprise you, she does sell. She plays her part very well.
(08:45):
But she has in ring skills.Do not forget that she can throw down
a little bit in there, andthey make the match look pretty good.
Miss Grace sells really good. MeChen is just a freaking boss. Goes
in there and tears up for awhile, but in the end, uh,
(09:05):
a little little problem with the refUh. Miss Grace rolls mee chin
up and tries to use the ropes. The rof catches her and bam the
next singing though, Meet Chen isthrowing it down on her chin and uh,
we've got a pin. H.So meet Chen advances. Uh and
(09:26):
uh yeah, yeah, good littlespot there. Me Chen looks good every
time I've seen her in there.I don't know why they don't use her
a little bit more. I guessthey're trying to advance the younger talent.
But man, me Chen could stillbe in a storyline, uh for sure,
for sure. But uh, yougot a little chase you and uh
(09:48):
and thea having a little heart toheart. I guess a little talk and
uh, you know, chase youwho's gonna get involved. But you got
Lexus King making this first up appearance, and Lexis is really they're giving him
a push and he's you know thisparticular show, he looks a little Chris
(10:09):
jerichoish, young Chris Jericho. Buthe pulls it off, and he's still
got that beard man, the perfectbeard. But he comes on and does
a little insulting and bam, we'regonna have a match with a duke because
Duke steps in and so mister Hollanddoesn't have to get involved. So we're
(10:31):
gonna have a match with Duke Utzonand Lexus King coming up. But here's
what I was kind of waiting forbecause I was wanting to see how they
were gonna pull this off. Butyou've got the super Nova Nova sessions with
a metaphor and you know, ofcourse the main two guys in that are.
(10:52):
You got Mensa and you know noAm, and they're gonna call out
the champ Trick Willie. They're gonnacall him out. They've got that envelope
they've been holding over his head likeis he is he the baby daddy.
The crowd starts hoylering that really good. I like like the whole angle on
(11:15):
that, but uh ends up theycall Trick out. He gets in there
and he does pretty good. Uhstand up against somebody else. It's like
a verbiage going back and forth.He does good. Uh. I mean
he's you know, the skills onhim with the mic. I'm sure he's
gonna get you know, nothing butbetter. It's just his a n ring
(11:37):
that I don't think he's quite readyfor. But in this particular one,
Noam is great in the ring andwith the stick. Uh. And he
gets in there and they kind oflet Lash and Uh and Trick reveal first
of all that he's not the babydaddy. Uh that uh, they apparently
(12:01):
have got a little thing going on. Uh. So that's kind of revealed.
So that'll come up in an anglesomewhere in the storyline. But while
everything's being discussed, Noam looks alittle tired, a little maybe because Lash
and trickers On's taller than him.It's like they're talking literally over his head.
(12:28):
But he gets a little, uh, a little angry and man does
a spinning backfist and lays out TrickWillie and kind of stands above him with
the belt, pretty much challenging him, which Trick had already said, Hey,
man, if you want her tomatch, you didn't have to go
through all this crap. Uh.And uh and to the surprise of a
(12:52):
lash legend, she's she looks stunned, tricks knocked out and Noem and Mensa
are ready to go, so weknow where they're going to go with that.
They're building a story and uh,you know you don't ask trick Willie
a trick question Alight, some moreof the combine stuff they do after that,
(13:15):
and then you go into a matchwith Keana Jordan and Valin Henry,
the drama Queen against the newly turnedheel and hey, Vaalin looks pretty good
in the match. She does goodinn ring, has the look, has
the you know the speech, soshe is probably gonna be getting called up
(13:39):
within the next few months. Ican see a couple more storylines with her,
but then she might be out ofthere. But in this one,
you know, Valin is going toget the win. But I tell you
what, Miss Jordan is getting betterand better in ring. She's doing okay
in her little spots, even thoughthey're just using her for the drama queen
(14:01):
spot. But I mean she's doingwhat she's asked and U yeah, Valin,
the heel turn is now full ineffect, so we'll see you know
where that goes. But then,of course, since the match earlier,
you've got the rebuttal of the noquarter Catch crew and they're going to call
(14:24):
out twenty d and going to allthat. So that is setting up,
you know, a match upcoming,let me see. And then you have
an old wise gm Ava which hasbeen carefully watching all the participants in this
(14:45):
combine, and she has chosen thetwelve ladies that will compete out of twenty.
They say they chose twelve, andthe twelve let me see, they
end up being soul roop uh uhthea Hall uh me Chen Valan, Henry
is He Dane, let me seeyou got Ivy now uh Tadum Paxley,
(15:11):
Ren Sinclair, Miss Kiana, Jordanlash Legends, let me see Brintley,
Brindley Reese uh in the Uh yeah, listened to somebody in there. Anyway,
they picked the top twelve pretty much, and they're gonna run with that
(15:33):
on their new combine match that's gonnabe coming up in the UFC Arena on
the UFC stage. So uh,they're definitely starting with that angle. The
way, They've got the NFL alreadyinvolved and they're uh, you know,
taking a little bit of the draftso or the combine. So we'll just
(15:54):
see where that goes. But thenyou got Jericho. I mean, is
King going up against Chase hues onDuke Hudson. And yeah, Duke does
good in the ring. I likehim in the ring, but in this
(16:15):
particular situation, he's you know,they're given a push to uh to mister
King, so you know where that'sgonna go. Uh, and it does.
But the match itself is pretty good. You know, Lexis gets to
do a couple of his spots.Then you know, they give Duke a
chance to look good and sell alittle bit there. So the match itself
(16:41):
is pretty good. But now they'vehad Ridge Holland involved in this storyline already,
and of course he comes out andgets involved, and uh there's your
distraction, which causes mister King toget the pin and h Duke to be
a little befuddled. Uh But yeahit's Ridge Holland comes in, causes a
(17:06):
little distraction and Bam, Lexus Kinggets the win. Uh So yeah,
and uh after that, they dida little you know, they got a
little bit more of a metaphor giveknow am a little time, and it's
uh, in this Javan Evans.Uh he kinda he kind of makes uh
no, I'm mad, so juston his words because he didn't like you
(17:29):
know, he didn't like mister Evans, didn't like singin trick. Willie get
knocked out by spending back fist bya much smaller man. But they you
know, it is what it is. But that's gonna lead to a match
next week. Uh yeah. Souh then we finally get to the to
(17:52):
the actual championship or to sorry,to the main event, and it's gonna
be Green and going up against RoxannePerez, the newly turned or freshly turned
heel on her voyage. But inthis match, you know, Roxanne is
(18:15):
a smaller lady in herself. Imean she plays that very well, but
Chelsea Green is I did not realizehow much bigger she was or taller.
Uh, And so that makes Roxannereally have to work, I think a
little bit harder to to really lookgood at this because Chelsea has got some
(18:37):
moves. She can do a coupleposes and man, she's gonna look good.
But the angle they're doing with Roxanne, which she doesn't like, the
main roster people coming back, shedidn't like it last week she doesn't like
it this week with Chelsea Green,so it gives her an angle. You
know, she's she's a US againstthe world, you know type. They're
(18:59):
they're coming in from all angles totry to take my belt. And she
she does pretty good job playing itup, to tell you the truth.
But at Chelsea in this match doesreally good. Kind of surprise me how
good Chelsea was actually, and sheplayed up to the cameras was really good.
(19:21):
She is a main roster talent.I was kind of wondering when you
watch some of these the NXT ladieseach week, you wonder how some of
these people can be on the mainroster. But you know Chelsea, you
know, death matches and protege there, she did really really good. So
(19:44):
but plays the match up good,does a storyline good. Rock Sane does
really good, that looks good inthe ring, has all her moments on
cue, I mean, does youknow, pretty good, And so I
can't really say anything bad. Andyou know Roxane is going to end up
(20:07):
pulling this like a rabbit out ofher hat and pulling this off and getting
the pen. But it's just inthe manner that she does it. You
know, Chelsea doesn't really look badbecause she was cheated out of its rock
sand pulls the whole angle off reallygood. So good match and you know,
(20:32):
detain the truth this week there's reallywasn't a just a stinker match or
there wasn't anything that just really stoodout to me on this show. They
did really play up the NFL typeof the combine and they're really pushing that.
You know, we'll see on downthe road how that works, but
(20:57):
you know they spend a lot oftime on that. As far as their
n RING matches this week, Uh, not bad. Really like seeing mech
In getting some TV time and weknow since she won, we'll get a
little bit more time with her comingup, so she's getting a little exposure.
(21:18):
Metaphor, I mean, where arewe're gonna go? You know,
you can almost do the music dunkdunk dun. You know where what angle
are we going to see the breakupof metaphor? Is it a Yoko Ono
kind of thing? And that wasa John Lennon reference, and John Lennon
was in the Beatles when it wasanyway, Uh yeah, are we going
(21:41):
to see some kind of effect likethat? Uh? What angle are they
going to go with that? Lashand uh trick. You know, uh,
they're they're definitely building uh an anglethere, so you know, does
uh does do we let that buildup and in fester a few weeks and
now she does the big turn onhim. Please let's not have another Miss
(22:04):
Elizabeth and Randy macho man moment orsomething like that. But I don't know,
we will see what the future whatthe future old in that. But
yeah, and I guess they're allgetting ready for our big PPL upcoming in
(22:27):
the UFC arena. Something Like Isaid before, they you know, originally
said that they would not do theywould not cross branded, and here we
are, you know, a yearinto the merger or the takeover of UFC
into wrestling, and they're doing justwhat they said they wouldn't. So yeah,
(22:48):
they've learned really quick, so itworks out really really good. Let's
see here I had let me seethe uh no, no, I think
I got all of that. Idid have, you know, some great
messages this week from a few people, so I really appreciate that. Let
(23:12):
me see here, you know,I'm right around here. Here we go,

the ring kind of unique a wayto uh, you know, get the
upper hand on Corman and end uprolling her back in and getting the tap

and thea having a little heart toheart. I guess a little talk and
uh, you know, chase youwho's gonna get involved. But you got
Lexus King making this first up appearance, and Lexis is really they're giving him
a push and he's you know thisparticular show, he looks a little Chris
(10:09):
jerichoish, young Chris Jericho. Buthe pulls it off, and he's still
got that beard man, the perfectbeard. But he comes on and does
a little insulting and bam, we'regonna have a match with a duke because
Duke steps in and so mister Hollanddoesn't have to get involved. So we're
(10:31):
gonna have a match with Duke Utzonand Lexus King coming up. But here's
what I was kind of waiting forbecause I was wanting to see how they
were gonna pull this off. Butyou've got the super Nova Nova sessions with
a metaphor and you know, ofcourse the main two guys in that are.
(10:52):
You got Mensa and you know noAm, and they're gonna call out
the champ Trick Willie. They're gonnacall him out. They've got that envelope
they've been holding over his head likeis he is he the baby daddy.
The crowd starts hoylering that really good. I like like the whole angle on
(11:15):
that, but uh ends up theycall Trick out. He gets in there
and he does pretty good. Uhstand up against somebody else. It's like
a verbiage going back and forth.He does good. Uh. I mean
he's you know, the skills onhim with the mic. I'm sure he's
gonna get you know, nothing butbetter. It's just his a n ring
(11:37):
that I don't think he's quite readyfor. But in this particular one,
Noam is great in the ring andwith the stick. Uh. And he
gets in there and they kind oflet Lash and Uh and Trick reveal first
of all that he's not the babydaddy. Uh that uh, they apparently
(12:01):
have got a little thing going on. Uh. So that's kind of revealed.
So that'll come up in an anglesomewhere in the storyline. But while
everything's being discussed, Noam looks alittle tired, a little maybe because Lash
and trickers On's taller than him.It's like they're talking literally over his head.
(12:28):
But he gets a little, uh, a little angry and man does
a spinning backfist and lays out TrickWillie and kind of stands above him with
the belt, pretty much challenging him, which Trick had already said, Hey,
man, if you want her tomatch, you didn't have to go
through all this crap. Uh.And uh and to the surprise of a
(12:52):
lash legend, she's she looks stunned, tricks knocked out and Noem and Mensa
are ready to go, so weknow where they're going to go with that.
They're building a story and uh,you know you don't ask trick Willie
a trick question Alight, some moreof the combine stuff they do after that,
(13:15):
and then you go into a matchwith Keana Jordan and Valin Henry,
the drama Queen against the newly turnedheel and hey, Vaalin looks pretty good
in the match. She does goodinn ring, has the look, has
the you know the speech, soshe is probably gonna be getting called up
(13:39):
within the next few months. Ican see a couple more storylines with her,
but then she might be out ofthere. But in this one,
you know, Valin is going toget the win. But I tell you
what, Miss Jordan is getting betterand better in ring. She's doing okay
in her little spots, even thoughthey're just using her for the drama queen
(14:01):
spot. But I mean she's doingwhat she's asked and U yeah, Valin,
the heel turn is now full ineffect, so we'll see you know
where that goes. But then,of course, since the match earlier,
you've got the rebuttal of the noquarter Catch crew and they're going to call
(14:24):
out twenty d and going to allthat. So that is setting up,
you know, a match upcoming,let me see. And then you have
an old wise gm Ava which hasbeen carefully watching all the participants in this
(14:45):
combine, and she has chosen thetwelve ladies that will compete out of twenty.
They say they chose twelve, andthe twelve let me see, they
end up being soul roop uh uhthea Hall uh me Chen Valan, Henry
is He Dane, let me seeyou got Ivy now uh Tadum Paxley,
(15:11):
Ren Sinclair, Miss Kiana, Jordanlash Legends, let me see Brintley,
Brindley Reese uh in the Uh yeah, listened to somebody in there. Anyway,
they picked the top twelve pretty much, and they're gonna run with that
(15:33):
on their new combine match that's gonnabe coming up in the UFC Arena on
the UFC stage. So uh,they're definitely starting with that angle. The
way, They've got the NFL alreadyinvolved and they're uh, you know,
taking a little bit of the draftso or the combine. So we'll just
(15:54):
see where that goes. But thenyou got Jericho. I mean, is
King going up against Chase hues onDuke Hudson. And yeah, Duke does
good in the ring. I likehim in the ring, but in this
(16:15):
particular situation, he's you know,they're given a push to uh to mister
King, so you know where that'sgonna go. Uh, and it does.
But the match itself is pretty good. You know, Lexis gets to
do a couple of his spots.Then you know, they give Duke a
chance to look good and sell alittle bit there. So the match itself
(16:41):
is pretty good. But now they'vehad Ridge Holland involved in this storyline already,
and of course he comes out andgets involved, and uh there's your
distraction, which causes mister King toget the pin and h Duke to be
a little befuddled. Uh But yeahit's Ridge Holland comes in, causes a
(17:06):
little distraction and Bam, Lexus Kinggets the win. Uh So yeah,
and uh after that, they dida little you know, they got a
little bit more of a metaphor giveknow am a little time, and it's
uh, in this Javan Evans.Uh he kinda he kind of makes uh
no, I'm mad, so juston his words because he didn't like you
(17:29):
know, he didn't like mister Evans, didn't like singin trick. Willie get
knocked out by spending back fist bya much smaller man. But they you
know, it is what it is. But that's gonna lead to a match
next week. Uh yeah. Souh then we finally get to the to
(17:52):
the actual championship or to sorry,to the main event, and it's gonna
be Green and going up against RoxannePerez, the newly turned or freshly turned
heel on her voyage. But inthis match, you know, Roxanne is
(18:15):
a smaller lady in herself. Imean she plays that very well, but
Chelsea Green is I did not realizehow much bigger she was or taller.
Uh, And so that makes Roxannereally have to work, I think a
little bit harder to to really lookgood at this because Chelsea has got some
(18:37):
moves. She can do a coupleposes and man, she's gonna look good.
But the angle they're doing with Roxanne, which she doesn't like, the
main roster people coming back, shedidn't like it last week she doesn't like
it this week with Chelsea Green,so it gives her an angle. You
know, she's she's a US againstthe world, you know type. They're
(18:59):
they're coming in from all angles totry to take my belt. And she
she does pretty good job playing itup, to tell you the truth.
But at Chelsea in this match doesreally good. Kind of surprise me how
good Chelsea was actually, and sheplayed up to the cameras was really good.
(19:21):
She is a main roster talent.I was kind of wondering when you
watch some of these the NXT ladieseach week, you wonder how some of
these people can be on the mainroster. But you know Chelsea, you
know, death matches and protege there, she did really really good. So
(19:44):
but plays the match up good,does a storyline good. Rock Sane does
really good, that looks good inthe ring, has all her moments on
cue, I mean, does youknow, pretty good, And so I
can't really say anything bad. Andyou know Roxane is going to end up
(20:07):
pulling this like a rabbit out ofher hat and pulling this off and getting
the pen. But it's just inthe manner that she does it. You
know, Chelsea doesn't really look badbecause she was cheated out of its rock
sand pulls the whole angle off reallygood. So good match and you know,
(20:32):
detain the truth this week there's reallywasn't a just a stinker match or
there wasn't anything that just really stoodout to me on this show. They
did really play up the NFL typeof the combine and they're really pushing that.
You know, we'll see on downthe road how that works, but
(20:57):
you know they spend a lot oftime on that. As far as their
n RING matches this week, Uh, not bad. Really like seeing mech
In getting some TV time and weknow since she won, we'll get a
little bit more time with her comingup, so she's getting a little exposure.
(21:18):
Metaphor, I mean, where arewe're gonna go? You know,
you can almost do the music dunkdunk dun. You know where what angle
are we going to see the breakupof metaphor? Is it a Yoko Ono
kind of thing? And that wasa John Lennon reference, and John Lennon
was in the Beatles when it wasanyway, Uh yeah, are we going
(21:41):
to see some kind of effect likethat? Uh? What angle are they
going to go with that? Lashand uh trick. You know, uh,
they're they're definitely building uh an anglethere, so you know, does
uh does do we let that buildup and in fester a few weeks and
now she does the big turn onhim. Please let's not have another Miss
(22:04):
Elizabeth and Randy macho man moment orsomething like that. But I don't know,
we will see what the future whatthe future old in that. But
yeah, and I guess they're allgetting ready for our big PPL upcoming in
(22:27):
the UFC arena. Something Like Isaid before, they you know, originally
said that they would not do theywould not cross branded, and here we
are, you know, a yearinto the merger or the takeover of UFC
into wrestling, and they're doing justwhat they said they wouldn't. So yeah,
(22:48):
they've learned really quick, so itworks out really really good. Let's
see here I had let me seethe uh no, no, I think
I got all of that. Idid have, you know, some great
messages this week from a few people, so I really appreciate that. Let
