BRM Reviews the 11/11/2014 Main Event

[Big Red Machine]

VETERANS' DAY VIDEO PACKAGE- it was what it was.

ADAM ROSE (w/the Exotic Express) vs. STARDUST (w/Goldust)- 3.75/10
Was it really necessary to job out one of the tag champions here? ANY tag team on the roster would have done just fine (like, say, the Usos, who should be on their way down the tag ranks now, or Slater-Gator, who are jobbers).

ALICIA FOX vs. CAMERON- DUD!
Okay inset promos form both girls. The match was dull and boring.

SAMI ZAYN vs. TYSON KIDD (w/Natalya)- 7/10
A great match, with a very curious finish. The execution of this, coupled with Nattie's reaction really seemed almost heelsih to me, and the more I think about the way they have been playing this angle in WWE recently, the more I think it is impossible for Nattie to not realize that TJ is using her to help him cheat in matches. She's got to be in on it and just playing dumb.
A great outing for Zayn, and Cole did a good job of pushing NXT as a whole, and Zayn and Neville in particular (and their NXT Title match set to air two days after this show).

DEAN AMBROSE vs. JUSTIN GABRIEL- 3.75/10
It's a five minute match.

DEAN AMBROSE PROMO- very good

The real reason I watched this seemingly random episode of Main Event was to see how they are presenting Sami Zayn on the main roster, and I'm happy that they are presenting him as something special and important. I just wish they would even mention it on Raw.

STUPID ANNOUNCER QUOTES:
1. Cole blames Rose for the Bunny's recent actions by saying that Rose always tells the Exotic Express to have a good time, and it is Rose's fault if the Bunny got carried away."
Everyone is responsible for their own actions, but it's not often that I get to rip a hole in someone's logic with such a perfect and relevant comparison, so I'll go off on this one. Fans at WWE events are also told to have a good time. THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS OKAY FOR A FAN TO JUMP UP ON THE APRON DURING A MATCH!
