Posted: Aug 22nd, '12, 19:33
SETH ROLLINS vs. JIRO- good squash
SETH ROLLINS PROMO- good. I really like what they did here with Rollins and Mahal
JINDER MAHAL vs. JASON JORDAN- squash
LEO KRUGER VIDEO PACKAGE- great
LEO KRUGER vs. AIDEN ENGLISH- yet another squash
RICHIE STEAMBOAT VIDEO PACKAGE- okay
THE USOS vs. THE ASCENSION- 4/10
RICHIE STEAMBOAT vs. RICK VICTOR- 3.75/10
DANTE DASH vs. ANTONIO CESARO (w/Aksana)- yet another squash
BRAY WYATT VIDEO PACKAGE- GREAT!
JOHNNY CURTIS vs. DERTICK BATEMAN- 4/10
These guys did well with the time they were given, but there is no reason that a main event should ever be given just five minutes.
Overall, a hard episode of NXT to rate. It did it's job well, but the nature of that job wasn't wasn't very enjoyable. The squashes and short matches start to get annoying after a while, but you can't fault them for doing them, as they are the best way to guys over quickly, and NXT has a whole bunch of guys that it needs to get over.
