BRM Reviews the 1/18/2017 NXT

[Big Red Machine]

KENNEDY LEWIS vs. NIKKI CROSS (w/Sanity)- squash
All of the non-EY members of Sanity come across to me like rabid squirrels.

NO WAY JOSE & SOME OTHER GUY SEGMENT- good, but it would have been a lot better if I knew who this other guy was or had ever seen him be friends with Jose.

THE REVIVAL AND TM61 SEGMENT- good

RODERICK STRONG vs. STEVE CUTLER- squash
This music they have for Roddy needs to go. It’s just Roddy enough. Now that music for Steve Cutler, on the other hand… THAT is some Roderick Strong music right there.

RODDY PROMO- good

EMBER MOON & LIV MORGAN BACKSTAGE- yeah… Liv is not winning this match. Not even close.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR TYE DILLINGER- Hopefully retirement. Ah. Or maybe a forced retirement courtesy of Sanity.
OH COME ON! No one could possibly believe that Sanity wants TYE DILLINGER to join them. He just 100% doesn’t fit in. And HOLY CRAP Eric Young just saved this entire segment. Then Damo killed Dillinger with the spear and the one-winged angel. Nikki Cross running over and hugging Damo was hilarious.

TM61 vs. THE REVIVAL- 5.75/10
Good for what it was. The post-match attack gets The Revival some heat back.

NXT TITLE CONTRACT SIGNING- SO MUCH AWESOME!

A good show from NXT. We had some squashes and some solid angles, but it was extremely fun to watch because of the nature of the squashers and the excellence of the angles.

STUPID ANNOUNCER QUOTES:
1. Corey Graves referred to Steve Cutler as “one of NXT’s brightest prospects.”
The dude has been nothing more than a jobber for years! Why not call Roddy “one of NXT’s brightest prospects?”
