BRM Reviews the 9/25/2014 NXT

[Big Red Machine]

MOJO RAWLEY vs. BULL DEMPSEY- Mojo gets beaten in a minute. Didn't I see this exact same thing on the Takever special two weeks ago?

TYLER BREEZE ATTACKS MOJO RAWLEY- not a good day to be Mojo Rawley

TYLER BREEZE vs. JUSTIN GABRIEL- 6/10

NATTIE NEIDHART TALKS TO WILLIAM REGAL- she asks Regal to give Tyson another title shot, but she doesn't want Tyson to know. Regal asks Nattie for a good reason why he should give Tyson another title shot, considering that Neville has now beaten him THREE TIMES. Nattie can't come up with a reason... but Regal gives Tyson a title shot anyway... but warns that this will be his last chance as long as Neville is champion.
I like the idea here (it finally moves the Nattie-Tyson angle along), but not the execution. NXT has been so good at not having people do things that they want to keep secret on TV. It is a shame to ruin that streak.

ALEXA BLISS vs. BAYLEY- 0.25/10
Alexa Bliss has new music. It's not even close to as good as her old music. Also, no sparkly special effects anymore (f*ck you very much, Cody).
Tensai informs us that Bayley has pledged to win the women's title for a little five year old girl in a wheelchair. Sh*t. This means she's actually getting the title, doesn't it?
WAIT! An idea! What if Alexa Bliss to pledged to win the title for TWO wheelchair -bound five-year-olds! They'd have to give her the title then!
You ever have one of those moments where you're thinking the exact opposite of the crowd? Well I had one of those here. While the NXT Universe was chanting "Bayley's gonna hug you!" I was sitting in front of my computer, screaming "F*CK HER UP, ALEXA! F*CK HER UP!"
They do roll-ups. Alexa shows off a headscissors. Then Bayley wins with a sh*tty hugplex.

POST-MATCH SEGMENT- SNORE
Bayley calls out Charlotte and asks for another title shot. She cuts a promo what wouldn't be quite so annoying if anyone else in the world were cutting it. Then Charlotte comes out and tells Bayley "you finally earned my respect" and grants her a title match next week on the authority of... um....

ENZO, COLIN, & CARMELLA AT THE NXT PERFORMANCE CENTER-
I love that they actually call out the fact that Colin has randomly started carrying a video camera around.
And now I'm hating this. All of a sudden Enzo is a misogynist. That's random. Also, it's very bad for someone who has so much charisma that he'll be getting cheered no matter what happens.

MARCUS LOUIS (w/Sylvester Lefort) vs. ENZO AMORE (w/Colin Cassaday)- no rating.
Louis is wearing a wig held in place by amateur wrestling headgear. Why is Louis even hanging out with Lefort? And shouldn't Lefort still need to get his head shaved? Why isn't anyone bringing this up?
Anyway, Louis' hairpiece falls off, then he gets rolled up. Heel gets humiliated, etc. etc.

TYSON KIDD PROMO- good... aside from the part where he randomly talked about the "power" that comes with the NXT Title. Because that has worked out so well for TNA.

SAMI ZAYN PROMO- good

NXT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Lucha Dragons(c) vs. The Ascension- 5.75/10
Kalysto is the babyface in peril. Lucha Dragons retain when Hideo Itami comes out and distracts the Ascension.

An okay show from NXT

I think Cass is just using his cell phone cam; when they look in the mirror in the salon, he's holding his phone. And I think the misogyny is just gonna be part of Carmella impressing them as she trains. Plus, Enzo is such a buffoon, it doesn't do any harm. I love this crew, lol

Enzo specifically mentioned him holding a camera. Either way, I just love the fact that this random new behavior is being acknowledged on screen
