BRM Reviews the 1/30/2020 NXT UK

[Big Red Machine]

THE HUNT vs. DANNY BURCH & ONEY LORCAN- 6/10
The Hunt are good in their babyface JTTS role.

TONI STORM INTERVIEW AFTER LOSING AT WORLD COLLIDE- good

EDDIE DENNIS & TRENT SEVEN SEGMENT- fine
Dennis came out to brag about his win. Seven came out and pointed out that Dennis needed an exposed turnbuckle to beat him so he suggested that they have a match with no turnbuckle covers. That’s certainly a new match-type. Dennis tried to attack Seven but Seven avoided it and tossed him out of the ring.

A-KID ASKS TYLER BATE FOR A MATCH- Tyler Bate says that he will ask Johnny Saint.

NINA SAMUELS vs. ISLA DAWN- 4/10
Good for the five minutes it got. Isla Dawn got the win.

ILJA DRAGUNOV INTERVIEW FROM AFTER WORLDS COLLIDE- good spin after a loss

RADZIE INTERVIEWS DANNY BURCH & ONEY LORCAN- good
They want a match against Gallus.

TYSON T-BONE vs. RIDGE HOLLAND- 0.5/10
This started out as an exciting brawl, but turned out to just be three minutes of punch-kick.

Announced for next week are A-Kid vs. Bate and Seven vs. Dennis in a “Steel Corners Street Fight.”

DAVE MASTIFF, MARK ANDREWS, & “FLASH” MORGAN WEBSTER vs. IMPERIUM (Alexander Wolfe, Marcel Barthel, & Fabian Aichner)- 7/10
That move Aicher and Bartel do where Barthel tosses the opponent and Aichner catches him and gives him a brainbuster is pointlessly dangerous, as there is nothing kayfabe gained from throw itself, and it just sets up a situation where someone could get dropped on their head.
Imperium won here, but the big story was that Mastiff mocked Imperium’s pose, resulting in WALTER coming out to attack him… and getting floored with one shot from Mastiff.


This was a fine little episode of NXT UK.
