DUSTY RHODES TAG TEAM CLASSIC SEMI FINAL MATCH: DIY vs. The Authors of Pain (w/Paul Ellering)- 7/10

Damn that Revival!

Apparently the name of the trophy is the “Dusty Cup,” because who doesn’t dream of taking a glorious drink of victory from a Dusty Cup.

TYE DILLINGER PROMO- fine until that goofy last line.

DUSTY RHODES TAG TEAM CLASSIC SEMI FINAL MATCH: TM61 vs. Sanity (w/other members of Sanity)- 6.5/10
I think Sanity’s entrance is cooler when the other team is already in the ring. It feels like there is more of an intimidation factor.
The match was a good babyface in peril story. Whatever that stupid weird more dance-y version of the Viper Dance that Alexander Wolf did needs to never happen again.

REGAL BOOKS REVIVAL VS. DIY 2 OUT OF 3 FALLS FOR THE TAG TITLES AT TORONTO- should be great.

EMBER MOON vs. RACHAEL EVERS- squash
I guess being trained by Lance Storm automatically makes you a member of the family?

JOE-NAKAMURA CONTRACT SIGNING- Joe was an awesome heel and I get they were going for with Nakamura, but I didn’t like it. I thought he kind of looked like a jerk going after security like that. Also, it seems very out of character for Regal to not try to stop Shinsuke.

A good show from NXT.

It only now occurred to me that not only was Ellering using Lance Storm's shoot last name, but one of Lance's daughters is actually named "Rachel Evers."
