BRM Reviews the 5/8/2014 NXT

NXT WOMEN'S TITLE TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND MATCH: Emma vs. Charlotte (w/Sasha Banks)- 3/10
Charlotte is now being billed from "the Queen City." It should not have taken them this long to figure out that "Charlotte from Charlotte" was a bad idea. Will someone please teach these dipsh*t announcers the term "figure four neck lock"?
Emma's cobra is apparently named "Ven-emma" Not too bad, but there must have been something better out there. Charlotte gets the roll-up win when Sasha unwittingly takes a Cobra Strike for her.

EL LOCAL & KALISTO vs. THE LEGIONARIES (Sylvester Lefort & Marcus Louie)-5/10
I'm probably overrating this, but it totally rekindled my love for NXT. Samuray Del Sol is awesome and Lefort rocked on the apron yelling at people. The other two were good, too.

CAMACHO vs. A LUCHADOR FROM THE ADAM ROSE PARTY- long squash
Shouldn't allowing this guy in the ring be a big liability issue for WWE?
Renee knows facts about ComiCon. Is it possible to fall in love with someone while already being in love with them? If that's not some sort of time paradox, I think that just happened. Then Renee commented that the Luchador "went from wearing a cape to wearing an apron" and it happened again. RENEE IS THE BEST ANNOUNCER EVER!

On commentary, Tensai said "I love a guy in a mask" and my first thought was "I hope your wife knows." Then, despite his love for men in masks, he started to root for Camacho to rip the mask off. After the match, Adam Rose came out to check on this doofus.

ALICIA FOX PROMO- Very good! PUSH HER!

ALEXA BLISS PROMO- Alexa Bliss sounds like a porn name. She also looks and sounds like a porn star. I'm quite surprised that her promo wasn't "Hi. My name is Alexa Bliss. I'm nineteen years old, and I'm here to get spit-roasted!" She did, however finish her promo off with "when I'm around, life is bliss." I hope Alicia Fox pins her with Val Venis' Money Shot.

NXT WOMEN'S TITLE TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND MATCH: Alexa Bliss vs. Alicia Fox- 4/10, but great for the time it got
Yeah, okay. She has GOT to be a porn star. That MUST be the gimmick. She also apparently told Rich Brennen that she has "a degree from the University of Bliss." *Insert kneepads joke here.*
Anyway, HOLY SH*T is this girl sexy.
In reference to Alexa's diminutive 5'1" stature, Renee.. whatever her last name is... refers to her as "Polly Pocket" and "Thumbelina," then declares herself to be officially out of height jokes. That's a very short list (see what I did there?).
Wow! With all of this Alexa Bliss talk, it has been at least two whole paragraphs since I've mentioned how awesome a heel Alicia Fox is. That is an injustice that must corrected! Fox was, indeed, an awesome heel here, and Alexa was a great babyface. I'd love to see more of her (*rimshot*).

ADRIEN NEVILLE PROMO- good.

BATTLE ROYALE FOR AN NXT TITLE SHOT AT TAKEOVER- 5/10
Despite Neville's claim that “the Funkasaurus is extinct,” Brodus was right there in this match. He JUST LOST A TITLE MATCH LAST WEEK! How the hell did he get into this match? Same goes for Marcus Louis. He has had one match so far, and it was a loss!
Anyway, stuff happened. The finish was good, and now we’re getting a triple threat match next week between Breeze, Zayn, and Kidd. Sounds good to me.

Good show from NXT.
