BRM Reviews the (second) 12/19/2018 NXT UK

[Big Red Machine]

CHARLY MORGAN vs. TONI STORM- 3.5/10
Short, but very good for the time it got.


GALLUS VIDEO PACKAGE- A random video package for someone who are usually a main focus of the show feels like filler more than anything else.

MARK ANDREWS & “FLASH” MORGAN WEBSTER vs. JAMES DRAKE & ZACK GIBSON- 6.25/10
The heat was good for a while, but then went on for WAY too long. And all of that was for Fabian Aichner to come out and attack Webster, causing the babyfaces to lose soon after. Aichner beat Andrews up after the match but Webster made the save and they took him out two-on-one.

KILLER KELLY vs. NINA SAMUELS- 6/10
A good showing from both women… but NXT UK is already getting hard enough to watch as it is. Can’t they at least throw me a bone and give Killer Kelly some wins?

RADZIE INTERVIEWS FABIAN AICHNER- a fine promo by Aichner.
He’s going to find himself a partner and win the NXT UK Tag Team Titles just to spite “Flash” Morgan Webster & Mark Andrews-

JOE COFFEY vs. TRAVIS BANKS- 7.5/10

A very blah episode of NXT UK. I’m really struggling to care about this product.

So are they just NOT gonna talk about how Pete Dunne has this...probably some kind of record of...like 585 days as champion now? Pretty sure that's pretty high up there.

[KILLdozer]

Yeah...as far as total numbers of days with ANY title...and some might be outdated...he's at number 6 all time between Rockin' Robin at 502, and behind Pedro Morales with over 1000. But that list from ESPN.com is over 2 years old...

So if anyone can find more current information...

He's still ahead of Punk with his 434 days.

[Big Red Machine]

Wikipedia puts him at 580, though they say WWE claims he is only at 579.

That's not a HUGE deal to them WHY?

"not a world title lol"

[KILLdozer]

That guy should be in main events on Raw and SD and talked up as a "top player" and be doing groundbreaking things...but this just makes it like they don't care because they don't have anyone they'd rather put it on at the time. Being a champion for close to 600 DAYS should mean a lot more and should be used for A LOT MORE.
