Welcome to the NXT Podcast, yourhome for weekly NXT reviews and insight.
A 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, we thought,
(00:34):
so let's get the show started rightnow. All right, everyone, this
is Memphis Mark coming to you fromMullet Manor and we're gonna do an NXT
review on nine five. And ofcourse they start off strong. They go
straight in to a Ladies championship matchwith Tiffany Stratton and Keana Jay and both
(01:00):
of these ladies can really go.Uh So it's an entertaining match. I
mean there's some flipping and flopping therewith little gymnastic stuffs, but it's done
in the in the match in away, it's okay. I really liked
the match. Uh. Keana comesoff, I mean I like her development
(01:21):
this whole time. Uh They bothlook like they've been in the gym a
bunch. So their cardio was definitelyokay. But the match was was was
good, A good solid, solidmatch and a good way to start to
show off too. Uh So,some big moves uh high fline and this
(01:41):
was Hey guys, uh, Idon't say it unless I mean it,
and uh, go back and watch. This is a go back and watch.
To tell you the truth, thisshow was a pretty pretty good show.
I have to say. Uh.Now, TIFF's gonna win this with
(02:01):
the Moon Salt, which is oneof the prettiest in the business, as
Booker t says, uh, Andshe gets to win. But it's what
happens after the match is what seemsto be raising all the you know,
the the scuttle butt around now BeckyLynch, that's right. The man says
(02:28):
that the only title she hadn't hadis the NXT title. So next week
that is the match. Uh Sonext week should be good. This this
week, as I said, thismatch was very good. Go back and
watch her. So yeah. Andthen they start the series of PROMOSU with
(02:53):
the Creed Brothers and they're in theirdog Joe and uh and at first then
there with uh Tony d At Thornyand Stacks uh and they're kind of getting
along, you know, and uhand saying that they're coming for the belts
and they appreciated watching out for Ivynow all and and all of that.
(03:15):
Uh. But then all of asudden, you have, huh, everybody
coming out of the woodwork. You'vegot uh let me see it was the
creeds as stacks and you've got enoughingand blade come out and they're getting into
it. Uh yeah, this it'sit's an interesting little set of promos.
(03:35):
So that's how they started off beforethey go into which I thought was going
to be, you know, possiblya semi squash match uh and off uh
and Mensa. But I was pleasantlysurprised. Uh. It was a good,
(03:57):
good match. So what I expectedto be a you know, a
two minute match. You know,I figured they would let dragging off just
uh and no kind of overlook Mensain this deal. But I was surprised.
Mensa looked very very good in thismatch. He was able to do
(04:23):
some his I mean, he hadsome great kicks, he had some great
moves, and he sells good.Uh. You know, of course,
dragging off is dragging off, soyou know what you're gonna get there.
But the match, they let Mensahave a good portion of it and do
a little whooping, some offensive movesand uh, it looked really good.
(04:46):
It made the match interesting Uh,dragging Off looked like he had been in
a war after the match. Uhyou know so Uh and of course you
got metaphor on the outside. Uhyou know, you got the ladies and
you got no I'm dar out thereand uh no, I'm looked like he
was heading a Wimbledon or something likethat for a tennis match. But anyway,
(05:12):
the match was really good. Someof these kitchen that kicks. Now.
At one time, drag Off goesthrough the ropes where he does his
little swing throat and comes back withthe monster clothesline. Mensa catches him in
mid flight through the ropes. Init looked fantastic. You know, it
(05:38):
was just it was a good match. And uh wow, I'm gonna have
to say this is a again.It's a. It's go back and watch
her. Uh you know, thematch is excellent now, Uh dragging Off
is gonna win this match. Uhin the end. But uh, just
(06:00):
the sequence of moves, the wayboth guys sold, the way it looked,
the atmosphere. Uh man, yougotta gotta grade this match high.
But then afterwards they continued they continuethe drama on. Uh. I mean,
you know, after a great match. Uh, then you've got Wes
(06:24):
Lee coming out proclaiming, Hey,look, man, I don't care who's
he's talking about hard or whatever.And then dragon Off comes back with He's
going to destroy anybody that gets inthe way of him going after that belt
in his ultimate prize and what heis do. And then after a few
(06:45):
you know, a couple of minutesof that, you've got Mellow of course
coming out, and he's gonna remindhim that he's retired both of their jerseys,
so he didn't know what they overhere scuttle button about, you know,
but to uh anyway, good littleset of promos, good little uh
after after match there, so uhso they go from that to they have
(07:11):
Dominic reading. He's in the refshirt and he's reading the rule book because
he's gonna referee the match later onbetween Mustafa Ali and Nathan Known. Who
was at Mustafa Ali and dragon Lyuh or whoever the match was it?
Actually? Who was it? Thatkind of that bugs me? Yes,
(07:31):
dragon Ly and Mustafa Ali? UhSo, yeah, so he's kind of
tearing the pages up and mocking thewhole deal there. Uh And then uh
they have a quick little Nathan Frazierpromo before his match, so they usually
dictates who's gonna win that the matchif you get a promo right before your
(07:58):
match. But uh after that,you've got Nathan Frasier. Ah wait minute
before they start this match, theydo a little promo where they're introducing the
kind of the new THEA and she'swith jac Jane and uh so you know
they're talking and of course gg isgonna come in, and before it's all
(08:18):
over, Davenport's gonna come in.H So they're all kind of bickering amongst
each other. But then they goto the match between Nathan Fraser and uh
Duke Hudson with Andre Chase at ringside, and it's a group be qualifying match
(08:41):
for the Global Heritage Cup Challenge.Yeehaw. These are like twelve minute rounds
and hey, it's you know,it's getting everybody out there. Metaphor of
course is going to go and bein the skybox. They're watching the match,
and this match did not last thatlong, but it was pretty good
(09:03):
match. Uh you know, Dukeof course is stronger, taller. Uh
So Nathan looks so fast it wasjust and and Duke sold. Uh It's
just Nathan looked like he was inanother like he was on one speed and
Duke was on another. A classicUh David, David and Goliath kind of
(09:28):
a big man a little man.Little man has to chop the big man
down. Uh. But uh,you know, Nathan ends up getting this
win, and uh, the matchdid not dictate that. At first.
You thought that in the end thatDuke would just end up doing some big
(09:50):
slam, a choke slam or somethinglike that. But but no, uh,
and Nathan ends up winning this match, so a big win for him.
And and after that they go backto the Creed Brothers dojo and talked
about the series of promos. Nowyou've got Hank and Tank and then you're
(10:13):
gonna get Bronco and then is itReggie or well, Reggie comes out,
but anyway, you're gonna have allthese guys because well Hank, Hank and
Tynk are asking the Creed Brothers.You know, if y'all ever fault,
it's kind of stupid. But uhuh and then but Reggie trying to get
street cred. Uh, Reggie,you know street Cred. Now he's got
(10:39):
some big old guys with him now, but uh, yeah, Reggie flipping
or scripts our id. Uh.So we're gonna go to another kind of
David and Goliath kind of story,which is uh, Dabakato and Tyler bait
(11:01):
the big strong boy. But Cato'sbeen uh jumping in on a kind of
whooping bait for the last couple ofweeks. So that is the reason for
the match. Uh. And thismatch is another one where you think they're
gonna push maybe Kato. You know, he's got the size, he's got
(11:24):
the strength, uh you know,but they all right, Tyler gets at
one point in time, gets Debocadoup on his shoulders and spends him,
not the Cardio, uh Claudio,excuse me, Cardio, the Claudio's uh
(11:48):
spend though it's on his shoulders,you know, you know how he does
it. But it first it lookedlike a very weak helicopter with the blades
are still bent. Uh. Buthe gets him up there and he spends
him around. I mean, itlooked really good. You know. It
shows the strength of the man,even if I'll let you put my put
(12:11):
you on my shoulders, the weightof somebody in the length of somebody like
that. But he's got some treetrunk legs. So the big strong boy,
uh, spends him and uh,it's he just cut the big man
down. That's pretty much what hedid the whole match. He just cut
the big man down. He wasfaster, not Nathan Frazier fast, but
(12:35):
he was faster in the spots heneeded to be. The match looked okay,
you know, hey, to goalong with these other I said,
watch go back and launch, youknow you might as well watch this show,
U. So, uh, youknow I liked everything about it.
Yes, uh uh. The bigstrong boy gets the wind and yeah,
(13:00):
we're gonna go from there to adominic being the special guest referee and he's
got the shirt in the whole deal, but he's going to uh walk to
the ring and get ready and theythey throw a couple uh you know,
promos, a little quick promos inthere in between. They've got Keana,
(13:22):
James and Rocks and in the lockerroom and they end up getting into a
brew haha. So they cut outto a commercial and they come back and
they're asking Baron Corman who he predictswill win this match, and he pretty
much says he didn't care that hecan up them both, but they have
(13:43):
to win in the ring, whichis gonna in turn or in turn,
which means he's gonna end up beingthe guest commentator later on. Uh.
And then of course by then you'vegot Tiff leaving, you would think,
and she has no comment about theBecky Lynch a breakthrough. But yeah,
(14:09):
so here for a chance to gofor Dominic's belt that he is referring.
You've got Dragon Lee and must Violiand uh, you know how both of
these guys are. Both of theseguys are fast, good PenPoint. They
sell you know, everything you couldask. Well, the match is everything
(14:35):
you could ask. Uh, theywere good even when there were mess ups.
It's just it looked good. Theycovered you know, the match was
good enough that you gotta it's it'sthey did this in a matchup coming to
the match is good enough that youhave to to pretty much either have some
(15:03):
kind of weird ending, some finishthat's it's odd, or you have to
like it's you. It's got tobe some kind of controversy. And then,
uh, this one is no differentin it after a fantastic match,
both guys are on. I said, Uh, Dragonly had a couple of
a little mess ups, but theystill they just they put on a great
(15:28):
great show. Now the count iswhat ends up being the screw job on
this Uh it is Dominic does akind of a slow count on Lee and
then a couple moves lighter. Uis when Mustifa gets the opportunity to pen
(15:52):
and it seems his count is alittle quicker and more consistent, and that
means Mustafa Ali ends. So uhyou know, uh and Dominic did you
made it good? Look good allduring the match and everything like that,
So he was there for the countson a consistent basis. It wasn't like
(16:14):
a total like uh you know,one sided deal. No, this was
right at the end, so itlooked good. They built a match and
then they gave us a finish.Uh. But when he's holding uh mister
Olie's hand up, he pops himupside the head, lays him, lays
(16:34):
him out, and then goes touh Dragon Lye and says, hey pretty
much, uh sorry, but you'lldon't luck this time. You know,
you know I didn't mean that,I didn't do it, but I am
going to take this win. Uh. So yeah, it was uh,
it was a good match, agood match, and then another I would
(17:00):
say go back and watch too,so like I said your mind as well.
Watch the show. They go touh dragging Off now in the locker
room, and uh he runs upon Trick and uh he tells Trick.
You know, they're they're talking aboutthe statement that Trick made at the last
(17:22):
week that he said that he thinksuh Mellow can beat uh trucking off.
But dragging Off says, no,no, no, no no, Uh
you're lying to yourself. Uh Soyou get a little a little spot there.
And then they've got Kemp and Dempseyand Golack, uh you know,
(17:44):
the training and their flunkey comes in, uh and they you know, they
let them know that they found outthat Valen had asked if he would be
a third in a spot next week, and they pretty much say. Goolack
says, you're not ready and getbetter make this look good now, Sir
(18:07):
Flunkey says that he will. Sothey're building a wrestler right there, right
in front of our eyes. Guys. All right, so after that,
you've got uh, they're gonna goback to last week and Eddie Thorpe seems
to be mad and in a parkinglot and he's talking about d Jack and
(18:33):
uh so, yeah, he madand he he won a match, So
there we go. Uh, andthen we've got a Global Heritage CUB qualifying
match for Group A. Group Bwas earlier. Uh, this is Butch
an axiom and uh, you knowwhat actually him. I loved his entrance,
(18:56):
But who was it? It wasthe Mensa when he came in earlier
his entrance was at too. Yeah, it was Mensa when he came in.
He had a great insurance. WhenMetaphor came through there. The way
they did the light show and everything, it was, Uh, it was
good. I liked it. Uhyou know so. Uh, but in
(19:19):
this match, you've got Butch andAxe in which is representing England and Spain.
Uh, with Metaphor in the skybox and this look, man,
this is a good match. Youwould think, uh, you know,
Butch should win this match. Uh. They you know, they it's the
(19:41):
way they This is another way theyhad, you know, to not discredit
either one of the performers. Yougotta give a screwdrib on the end.
Now, this match was good,of course, you know, Butch is
gonna, you know, try tobreak your fingers. But he said some
just bodacious slaps. Uh. Inthis match, Uh, it was it
(20:07):
was really good because you got twodifferent styles. Uh. And now Butch
will get up on the ropes anddo some stuff, but he is a
ground and pounds submission, break yourfinger, you know, stomp on your
hand, which he did. Butuh man uh in this one, Axiom
actually almost trips and one time stillmakes it look good. That shows the
(20:32):
quality and the training this man isand where he's at in his progression.
But the match is really really good. Axiom's got like a drop kick that
just man, it looks really goodand and people are gonna just hate on
me for this. But back whenJeff Jared that's right, Double Jay uh
(20:53):
first got into the business when hewas a young he went from like a
video guy, you know, hisdaddy on the place, so he was
like a photographer, then a referee. Then build Undee beat him up and
brought him in and made him awrestler. And then but when he progressed
on about two or three years afterhe was in the business, he had
a drop kick that was unbelievable atthe time, just absolutely beautiful. I'm
(21:19):
pretty sure he can't get that heightanymore, but Axiom has something like that.
Man, he Wow, he getsup there and it's so on point.
Uh, it's really really good.But in this match they get to
a two minute warning, so itkind of they kind of looked like they're
(21:44):
distracted. Then they put the clockup on the screen and it all goes
into the storyline. So you're gonnaend up with a time limit drawl in
this match. It was kind offitting. I mean, because most of
these guys are good. You've onlydon't want one to get up on,
you know, Butcher's on the mainroster. Axioms trying to get there.
But Axiom's been doing great. Uhyou know, so what did they do?
(22:07):
They do a time limit drawl,which is that you know, well,
I'm good with that. Uh.They've got a von Wagner promo where
he's really talking sweet love things toa table, actually to the desk.
Uh. And then we go backto the Doljoel, the Cree Brothers Doljeel
(22:34):
and uh, you know, yougot Tony Stacks. Now the Garzas show
up and h everybody's in there.And uh so of course if you put
that many attitudes or egos I shouldsay egos in one spot, we're gonna
have us a fight and that's whatthey do. It breaks down a pandemonium.
(23:00):
Nothing but shenanigans going on today inthe Creed Brothers do Joe. Uh.
And then you're gonna have the newTHEAH with g K. C.
Jane going against Gig and uh youknow there again you're thinking they're gonna just
probably settle the down on this one, but no, there's an angle in
(23:23):
the end and the match. Youknow, I've been a little you know,
a little critical of Gig and herin ring ability, but you know
she's sold. Uh. You know, THEA come out with a real big
start, uh, and it's goingfor submission moves and everything like that.
So it's looks like that the is. I mean, it's a fifty fifty
(23:45):
kind of match, almost maybe sixtyforty THEA until until J. C.
Jane jumps up on the apron anduh Davenport comes out of nowhere, throws
a move onner throw rows her backto THEA. THEA gets her in a
(24:06):
uh submission and uh bam there isa win for THEA. So uh,
yeah, they're building up an anglethere with those ladies. But here we
go back to the Creed Brothers dojo, and uh they're talking about you know,
(24:26):
Uh, Ivy comes back like Iwasn't gone that long, what the
heck happened? And of course,uh they're sitting there licking their jobs like
man should have been here is allgood, you know, having a getting
a little ice on him or orwhatever. So you apparently they had a
good brew haha. Uh. Thenyou got a little rah and uh Dana
(24:48):
Brook and that new chick, thatnew wrestler. I don't know, but
apparently h Dana Brooke does not wantanyone to talk to her, and so
NAT's going to end up leading toa match with Lara and Daniel Brook.
Weird, weird kind of promo.Uh. And then they go to a
(25:12):
little promo now with Tiffany Stratton andshe uses the B word at the end
of it to describe her feeling ofthe man of Becky Lynch and got a
little spot at the end there.I like the way. I mean they're
building something there too, and it'sit's they're they're they're seeing the fruits of
(25:34):
their labor so far with her,because she has really come on. But
now you've got Baron Corbyn out atthe desk and you've got a no DQ
match with von Wagner, with misterStone, uh going against Braun breaker and
(25:56):
this ends up being a very verygood match. Uh everything you want uh
in a match. Uh. Youknow, Von comes out really strong,
uh, throwing around and and andand making himself look good. Then then
(26:18):
Braun. Of course it's gonna beBraun. And uh he's the first one
to bring a chair out. Uhyou know, he teases a little bit
later on the I'm bringing a tableout because this they've really been pushing the
table angle with von Wagner. Souh uh but he he, I mean
he throws Braun over the desk.First he gets the chairs out, second,
(26:41):
I believe, and third he breaksout the kindo sticks. Uh so
but man, man, oh man, when Braun is swinging that kendo stick,
whoa, it looks freaking rate.He blast von Wagner, I mean
(27:04):
blast, and I know what youknow, I don't know what they feel
like, per se, but Iknow it's not can't feel good. But
with Braun putting that kind of forcebehind it is wow. Uh and it
just looked freaking great. You know, you're at a broun. You're gonna
get like the clothes lines, You'regonna get a spear. You're gonna get
(27:27):
some uh you know some you knowthrows and sit out pen I can't eventually,
and you know all these things thatyou're gonna get with Braun. Uh.
And you got Baron you know onthe on the mic too. He's
got the stick, so he's talking. But this is a good, good
(27:47):
match, you know. Von catchesuh the kendo stick and does some great
moves and you're thinking he's about towin. And then they get on the
outside when he's acting like he's gonnaput through the table. Uh, and
then he asked the announcer and likethe timekeeper or whatever to move, and
(28:08):
he throws him through. I callit bronze wall anyway, because he's he's
gone through it enough times. SoVaughan puts bron through his own wall.
But looked great. And then broncomes out and uh comes back just I
(28:29):
mean, and the car you gotthe crowd hollering for tables. I mean,
it was just a really really goodmatch. When I when I see
Broun do the bulldog, I believeit was off the top rope even too,
on a chair, I mean,and then he does the Stana reclina
(28:52):
with the kindo stick and they doa kind of a a strange little reversal
when they're doing it where Van's gonnaend up reversing the whole hold whatever.
And it was good until they goto the switchover. Uh. Then somebody's
got to let their hand go.So it's just that's gotta Yeah, it's
the only angle there, but that'snot good. But man, the match
(29:15):
is just I mean, Vaughan whenhe puts Braun through the desk is one
of the best desk slams. Thewhole thing collapsed perfectly. It looked fabulous.
It was freaking great. But uh, you're gonna have a groin shot
(29:41):
by mister Braun, uh, whichwill change the course of the match forever.
Uh. So yeah, we geta gonad shot and then a spear
uh, and then that's gonna endup with the wind. Now. Before
that, Braun had set up ain the turnbuckle and he was going to
(30:02):
go for a spear and missed andhit the chair. So all of these
angles, but nope, gonad shot, spear in a win. But but
after the match is over, broncomes over while Vaughan is in the ropes
(30:23):
and hits him with the chair,okay, that's one thing, drags him
out, breaks the stairs apart thetwo sections, puts his head on it,
picks the upper section up with thehandles, and proceeds to slam.
(30:48):
Of course, they cut off andyou hear Baron Cobyn going, I can't
believe he did it. That isthe ending of n XT this week.
You know, we're gonna have somany angles, so many things come out
about this, so let's wait andsee what's gonna happen. It should be
(31:12):
pretty good, folks. So thereagain, I say, if you can
put braun through a wall and tooa entrough a desk, this is a
go back and watch show. SoI'm proud to say the review is of
a go back and watch show,So go back and watch it anyway,
(31:33):
guys. That is gonna be yourn XT review for this week for nine
to five. And uh yeah,we'll close the book on this chapter and
we'll see you next week. Butguys, we're gonna end it just like

good, A good solid, solidmatch and a good way to start to

(01:41):
was Hey guys, uh, Idon't say it unless I mean it,
and uh, go back and watch. This is a go back and watch.
To tell you the truth, thisshow was a pretty pretty good show.
I have to say. Uh.Now, TIFF's gonna win this with
(02:01):
the Moon Salt, which is oneof the prettiest in the business, as
Booker t says, uh, Andshe gets to win. But it's what
happens after the match is what seemsto be raising all the you know,
the the scuttle butt around now BeckyLynch, that's right. The man says
(02:28):
that the only title she hadn't hadis the NXT title. So next week
that is the match. Uh Sonext week should be good. This this
week, as I said, thismatch was very good. Go back and
watch her. So yeah. Andthen they start the series of PROMOSU with

the Creed Brothers and they're in theirdog Joe and uh and at first then
there with uh Tony d At Thornyand Stacks uh and they're kind of getting
along, you know, and uhand saying that they're coming for the belts
and they appreciated watching out for Ivynow all and and all of that.
(03:15):
Uh. But then all of asudden, you have, huh, everybody
coming out of the woodwork. You'vegot uh let me see it was the
creeds as stacks and you've got enoughingand blade come out and they're getting into
it. Uh yeah, this it'sit's an interesting little set of promos.
(03:35):
So that's how they started off beforethey go into which I thought was going
to be, you know, possiblya semi squash match uh and off uh
and Mensa. But I was pleasantlysurprised. Uh. It was a good,
(03:57):
good match. So what I expectedto be a you know, a
two minute match. You know,I figured they would let dragging off just
uh and no kind of overlook Mensain this deal. But I was surprised.
Mensa looked very very good in thismatch. He was able to do
(04:23):
some his I mean, he hadsome great kicks, he had some great
moves, and he sells good.Uh. You know, of course,
dragging off is dragging off, soyou know what you're gonna get there.
But the match, they let Mensahave a good portion of it and do
a little whooping, some offensive movesand uh, it looked really good.
(04:46):
It made the match interesting Uh,dragging Off looked like he had been in
a war after the match. Uhyou know so Uh and of course you
got metaphor on the outside. Uhyou know, you got the ladies and
you got no I'm dar out thereand uh no, I'm looked like he
was heading a Wimbledon or something likethat for a tennis match. But anyway,
(05:12):
the match was really good. Someof these kitchen that kicks. Now.
At one time, drag Off goesthrough the ropes where he does his
little swing throat and comes back withthe monster clothesline. Mensa catches him in
mid flight through the ropes. Init looked fantastic. You know, it
(05:38):
was just it was a good match. And uh wow, I'm gonna have
to say this is a again.It's a. It's go back and watch
her. Uh you know, thematch is excellent now, Uh dragging Off
is gonna win this match. Uhin the end. But uh, just
(06:00):
the sequence of moves, the wayboth guys sold, the way it looked,
the atmosphere. Uh man, yougotta gotta grade this match high.
But then afterwards they continued they continuethe drama on. Uh. I mean,
you know, after a great match. Uh, then you've got Wes
(06:24):
Lee coming out proclaiming, Hey,look, man, I don't care who's
he's talking about hard or whatever.And then dragon Off comes back with He's
going to destroy anybody that gets inthe way of him going after that belt
in his ultimate prize and what heis do. And then after a few
(06:45):
you know, a couple of minutesof that, you've got Mellow of course
coming out, and he's gonna remindhim that he's retired both of their jerseys,
so he didn't know what they overhere scuttle button about, you know,
but to uh anyway, good littleset of promos, good little uh
after after match there, so uhso they go from that to they have
(07:11):
Dominic reading. He's in the refshirt and he's reading the rule book because
he's gonna referee the match later onbetween Mustafa Ali and Nathan Known. Who
was at Mustafa Ali and dragon Lyuh or whoever the match was it?
Actually? Who was it? Thatkind of that bugs me? Yes,
(07:31):
dragon Ly and Mustafa Ali? UhSo, yeah, so he's kind of
tearing the pages up and mocking thewhole deal there. Uh And then uh
they have a quick little Nathan Frazierpromo before his match, so they usually
dictates who's gonna win that the matchif you get a promo right before your
(07:58):
match. But uh after that,you've got Nathan Frasier. Ah wait minute
before they start this match, theydo a little promo where they're introducing the
kind of the new THEA and she'swith jac Jane and uh so you know
they're talking and of course gg isgonna come in, and before it's all
(08:18):
over, Davenport's gonna come in.H So they're all kind of bickering amongst
each other. But then they goto the match between Nathan Fraser and uh
Duke Hudson with Andre Chase at ringside, and it's a group be qualifying match
(08:41):
for the Global Heritage Cup Challenge.Yeehaw. These are like twelve minute rounds
and hey, it's you know,it's getting everybody out there. Metaphor of
course is going to go and bein the skybox. They're watching the match,
and this match did not last thatlong, but it was pretty good
(09:03):
match. Uh you know, Dukeof course is stronger, taller. Uh
So Nathan looks so fast it wasjust and and Duke sold. Uh It's
just Nathan looked like he was inanother like he was on one speed and
Duke was on another. A classicUh David, David and Goliath kind of
(09:28):
a big man a little man.Little man has to chop the big man
down. Uh. But uh,you know, Nathan ends up getting this
win, and uh, the matchdid not dictate that. At first.
You thought that in the end thatDuke would just end up doing some big
(09:50):
slam, a choke slam or somethinglike that. But but no, uh,
and Nathan ends up winning this match, so a big win for him.
And and after that they go backto the Creed Brothers dojo and talked
about the series of promos. Nowyou've got Hank and Tank and then you're
(10:13):
gonna get Bronco and then is itReggie or well, Reggie comes out,
but anyway, you're gonna have allthese guys because well Hank, Hank and
Tynk are asking the Creed Brothers.You know, if y'all ever fault,
it's kind of stupid. But uhuh and then but Reggie trying to get
street cred. Uh, Reggie,you know street Cred. Now he's got
(10:39):
some big old guys with him now, but uh, yeah, Reggie flipping
or scripts our id. Uh.So we're gonna go to another kind of
David and Goliath kind of story,which is uh, Dabakato and Tyler bait
(11:01):
the big strong boy. But Cato'sbeen uh jumping in on a kind of
whooping bait for the last couple ofweeks. So that is the reason for
the match. Uh. And thismatch is another one where you think they're
gonna push maybe Kato. You know, he's got the size, he's got
(11:24):
the strength, uh you know,but they all right, Tyler gets at
one point in time, gets Debocadoup on his shoulders and spends him,
not the Cardio, uh Claudio,excuse me, Cardio, the Claudio's uh
(11:48):
spend though it's on his shoulders,you know, you know how he does
it. But it first it lookedlike a very weak helicopter with the blades
are still bent. Uh. Buthe gets him up there and he spends
him around. I mean, itlooked really good. You know. It
shows the strength of the man,even if I'll let you put my put
(12:11):
you on my shoulders, the weightof somebody in the length of somebody like
that. But he's got some treetrunk legs. So the big strong boy,
uh, spends him and uh,it's he just cut the big man
down. That's pretty much what hedid the whole match. He just cut
the big man down. He wasfaster, not Nathan Frazier fast, but
(12:35):
he was faster in the spots heneeded to be. The match looked okay,
you know, hey, to goalong with these other I said,
watch go back and launch, youknow you might as well watch this show,
U. So, uh, youknow I liked everything about it.
Yes, uh uh. The bigstrong boy gets the wind and yeah,
(13:00):
we're gonna go from there to adominic being the special guest referee and he's
got the shirt in the whole deal, but he's going to uh walk to
the ring and get ready and theythey throw a couple uh you know,
promos, a little quick promos inthere in between. They've got Keana,
(13:22):
James and Rocks and in the lockerroom and they end up getting into a
brew haha. So they cut outto a commercial and they come back and
they're asking Baron Corman who he predictswill win this match, and he pretty
much says he didn't care that hecan up them both, but they have
(13:43):
to win in the ring, whichis gonna in turn or in turn,
which means he's gonna end up beingthe guest commentator later on. Uh.
And then of course by then you'vegot Tiff leaving, you would think,
and she has no comment about theBecky Lynch a breakthrough. But yeah,
(14:09):
so here for a chance to gofor Dominic's belt that he is referring.
You've got Dragon Lee and must Violiand uh, you know how both of
these guys are. Both of theseguys are fast, good PenPoint. They
sell you know, everything you couldask. Well, the match is everything
(14:35):
you could ask. Uh, theywere good even when there were mess ups.
It's just it looked good. Theycovered you know, the match was
good enough that you gotta it's it'sthey did this in a matchup coming to
the match is good enough that youhave to to pretty much either have some
(15:03):
kind of weird ending, some finishthat's it's odd, or you have to
like it's you. It's got tobe some kind of controversy. And then,
uh, this one is no differentin it after a fantastic match,
both guys are on. I said, Uh, Dragonly had a couple of
a little mess ups, but theystill they just they put on a great
(15:28):
great show. Now the count iswhat ends up being the screw job on
this Uh it is Dominic does akind of a slow count on Lee and
then a couple moves lighter. Uis when Mustifa gets the opportunity to pen
(15:52):
and it seems his count is alittle quicker and more consistent, and that
means Mustafa Ali ends. So uhyou know, uh and Dominic did you
made it good? Look good allduring the match and everything like that,
So he was there for the countson a consistent basis. It wasn't like
(16:14):
a total like uh you know,one sided deal. No, this was
right at the end, so itlooked good. They built a match and
then they gave us a finish.Uh. But when he's holding uh mister
Olie's hand up, he pops himupside the head, lays him, lays
(16:34):
him out, and then goes touh Dragon Lye and says, hey pretty
much, uh sorry, but you'lldon't luck this time. You know,
you know I didn't mean that,I didn't do it, but I am
going to take this win. Uh. So yeah, it was uh,
it was a good match, agood match, and then another I would
(17:00):
say go back and watch too,so like I said your mind as well.
Watch the show. They go touh dragging Off now in the locker
room, and uh he runs upon Trick and uh he tells Trick.
You know, they're they're talking aboutthe statement that Trick made at the last
(17:22):
week that he said that he thinksuh Mellow can beat uh trucking off.
But dragging Off says, no,no, no, no no, Uh
you're lying to yourself. Uh Soyou get a little a little spot there.
And then they've got Kemp and Dempseyand Golack, uh you know,
(17:44):
the training and their flunkey comes in, uh and they you know, they
let them know that they found outthat Valen had asked if he would be
a third in a spot next week, and they pretty much say. Goolack
says, you're not ready and getbetter make this look good now, Sir
(18:07):
Flunkey says that he will. Sothey're building a wrestler right there, right
in front of our eyes. Guys. All right, so after that,
you've got uh, they're gonna goback to last week and Eddie Thorpe seems
to be mad and in a parkinglot and he's talking about d Jack and
(18:33):
uh so, yeah, he madand he he won a match, So
there we go. Uh, andthen we've got a Global Heritage CUB qualifying
match for Group A. Group Bwas earlier. Uh, this is Butch
an axiom and uh, you knowwhat actually him. I loved his entrance,
(18:56):
But who was it? It wasthe Mensa when he came in earlier
his entrance was at too. Yeah, it was Mensa when he came in.
He had a great insurance. WhenMetaphor came through there. The way
they did the light show and everything, it was, Uh, it was
good. I liked it. Uhyou know so. Uh, but in
(19:19):
this match, you've got Butch andAxe in which is representing England and Spain.
Uh, with Metaphor in the skybox and this look, man,
this is a good match. Youwould think, uh, you know,
Butch should win this match. Uh. They you know, they it's the
(19:41):
way they This is another way theyhad, you know, to not discredit
either one of the performers. Yougotta give a screwdrib on the end.
Now, this match was good,of course, you know, Butch is
gonna, you know, try tobreak your fingers. But he said some
just bodacious slaps. Uh. Inthis match, Uh, it was it
(20:07):
was really good because you got twodifferent styles. Uh. And now Butch
will get up on the ropes anddo some stuff, but he is a
ground and pounds submission, break yourfinger, you know, stomp on your
hand, which he did. Butuh man uh in this one, Axiom
actually almost trips and one time stillmakes it look good. That shows the
(20:32):
quality and the training this man isand where he's at in his progression.
But the match is really really good. Axiom's got like a drop kick that
just man, it looks really goodand and people are gonna just hate on
me for this. But back whenJeff Jared that's right, Double Jay uh
(20:53):
first got into the business when hewas a young he went from like a
video guy, you know, hisdaddy on the place, so he was
like a photographer, then a referee. Then build Undee beat him up and
brought him in and made him awrestler. And then but when he progressed
on about two or three years afterhe was in the business, he had
a drop kick that was unbelievable atthe time, just absolutely beautiful. I'm
(21:19):
pretty sure he can't get that heightanymore, but Axiom has something like that.
Man, he Wow, he getsup there and it's so on point.
Uh, it's really really good.But in this match they get to
a two minute warning, so itkind of they kind of looked like they're
(21:44):
distracted. Then they put the clockup on the screen and it all goes
into the storyline. So you're gonnaend up with a time limit drawl in
this match. It was kind offitting. I mean, because most of
these guys are good. You've onlydon't want one to get up on,
you know, Butcher's on the mainroster. Axioms trying to get there.
But Axiom's been doing great. Uhyou know, so what did they do?
(22:07):
They do a time limit drawl,which is that you know, well,
I'm good with that. Uh.They've got a von Wagner promo where
he's really talking sweet love things toa table, actually to the desk.
Uh. And then we go backto the Doljoel, the Cree Brothers Doljeel
(22:34):
and uh, you know, yougot Tony Stacks. Now the Garzas show
up and h everybody's in there.And uh so of course if you put
that many attitudes or egos I shouldsay egos in one spot, we're gonna
have us a fight and that's whatthey do. It breaks down a pandemonium.
(23:00):
Nothing but shenanigans going on today inthe Creed Brothers do Joe. Uh.
And then you're gonna have the newTHEAH with g K. C.
Jane going against Gig and uh youknow there again you're thinking they're gonna just
probably settle the down on this one, but no, there's an angle in
(23:23):
the end and the match. Youknow, I've been a little you know,
a little critical of Gig and herin ring ability, but you know
she's sold. Uh. You know, THEA come out with a real big
start, uh, and it's goingfor submission moves and everything like that.
So it's looks like that the is. I mean, it's a fifty fifty
(23:45):
kind of match, almost maybe sixtyforty THEA until until J. C.
Jane jumps up on the apron anduh Davenport comes out of nowhere, throws
a move onner throw rows her backto THEA. THEA gets her in a
(24:06):
uh submission and uh bam there isa win for THEA. So uh,
yeah, they're building up an anglethere with those ladies. But here we
go back to the Creed Brothers dojo, and uh they're talking about you know,
(24:26):
Uh, Ivy comes back like Iwasn't gone that long, what the
heck happened? And of course,uh they're sitting there licking their jobs like
man should have been here is allgood, you know, having a getting
a little ice on him or orwhatever. So you apparently they had a
good brew haha. Uh. Thenyou got a little rah and uh Dana
(24:48):
Brook and that new chick, thatnew wrestler. I don't know, but
apparently h Dana Brooke does not wantanyone to talk to her, and so
NAT's going to end up leading toa match with Lara and Daniel Brook.
Weird, weird kind of promo.Uh. And then they go to a
(25:12):
little promo now with Tiffany Stratton andshe uses the B word at the end
of it to describe her feeling ofthe man of Becky Lynch and got a
little spot at the end there.I like the way. I mean they're
building something there too, and it'sit's they're they're they're seeing the fruits of
(25:34):
their labor so far with her,because she has really come on. But
now you've got Baron Corbyn out atthe desk and you've got a no DQ
match with von Wagner, with misterStone, uh going against Braun breaker and
(25:56):
this ends up being a very verygood match. Uh everything you want uh
in a match. Uh. Youknow, Von comes out really strong,
uh, throwing around and and andand making himself look good. Then then
(26:18):
Braun. Of course it's gonna beBraun. And uh he's the first one
to bring a chair out. Uhyou know, he teases a little bit
later on the I'm bringing a tableout because this they've really been pushing the
table angle with von Wagner. Souh uh but he he, I mean
he throws Braun over the desk.First he gets the chairs out, second,
(26:41):
I believe, and third he breaksout the kindo sticks. Uh so
but man, man, oh man, when Braun is swinging that kendo stick,
whoa, it looks freaking rate.He blast von Wagner, I mean
(27:04):
blast, and I know what youknow, I don't know what they feel
like, per se, but Iknow it's not can't feel good. But
with Braun putting that kind of forcebehind it is wow. Uh and it
just looked freaking great. You know, you're at a broun. You're gonna
get like the clothes lines, You'regonna get a spear. You're gonna get
(27:27):
some uh you know some you knowthrows and sit out pen I can't eventually,
and you know all these things thatyou're gonna get with Braun. Uh.
And you got Baron you know onthe on the mic too. He's
got the stick, so he's talking. But this is a good, good
(27:47):
match, you know. Von catchesuh the kendo stick and does some great
moves and you're thinking he's about towin. And then they get on the
outside when he's acting like he's gonnaput through the table. Uh, and
then he asked the announcer and likethe timekeeper or whatever to move, and
(28:08):
he throws him through. I callit bronze wall anyway, because he's he's
gone through it enough times. SoVaughan puts bron through his own wall.
But looked great. And then broncomes out and uh comes back just I
(28:29):
mean, and the car you gotthe crowd hollering for tables. I mean,
it was just a really really goodmatch. When I when I see
Broun do the bulldog, I believeit was off the top rope even too,
on a chair, I mean,and then he does the Stana reclina
(28:52):
with the kindo stick and they doa kind of a a strange little reversal
when they're doing it where Van's gonnaend up reversing the whole hold whatever.
And it was good until they goto the switchover. Uh. Then somebody's
got to let their hand go.So it's just that's gotta Yeah, it's
the only angle there, but that'snot good. But man, the match
(29:15):
is just I mean, Vaughan whenhe puts Braun through the desk is one
of the best desk slams. Thewhole thing collapsed perfectly. It looked fabulous.
It was freaking great. But uh, you're gonna have a groin shot
(29:41):
by mister Braun, uh, whichwill change the course of the match forever.
Uh. So yeah, we geta gonad shot and then a spear
uh, and then that's gonna endup with the wind. Now. Before
that, Braun had set up ain the turnbuckle and he was going to
(30:02):
go for a spear and missed andhit the chair. So all of these
angles, but nope, gonad shot, spear in a win. But but
after the match is over, broncomes over while Vaughan is in the ropes
(30:23):
and hits him with the chair,okay, that's one thing, drags him
out, breaks the stairs apart thetwo sections, puts his head on it,
picks the upper section up with thehandles, and proceeds to slam.
(30:48):
Of course, they cut off andyou hear Baron Cobyn going, I can't
believe he did it. That isthe ending of n XT this week.
You know, we're gonna have somany angles, so many things come out
about this, so let's wait andsee what's gonna happen. It should be
(31:12):
pretty good, folks. So thereagain, I say, if you can
put braun through a wall and tooa entrough a desk, this is a
go back and watch show. SoI'm proud to say the review is of
a go back and watch show,So go back and watch it anyway,
(31:33):
