WWE NXT April 25, 2018 Results and Review The Best of The Best

Ciampa Stands Tall - SRC WWE 

I don’t usually cover NXT but since I’ve been on a new tear for this blog, I decided to give it a shot, and well, I am delighted about what has gone down last night with the throwdown of NXT. Let’s discuss the quick show that had a lot of action, and was well paced overall.

WWE NXT April 25, 2018 Results and Review The Best of The Best

The Undisputed Era came out and cut a promo about how cool they are and that they are going to run rough shot over NXT for good. This was a good little segment, but I never liked a lot of talking with my wrestling, but that’s the norm these days, I guess.

Adam Cole defeated Oney Lorcan in the NXT North American Championship Match

This was a stellar affair, although quick. Lorcan really connects fast and hard with the moves he has, and is a slippery fellow. Adam Cole didn’t have much of an answer to him for a few spots, and he was selling a rib injury, but with the help of his cronies, he was able to pick up the big win. If it wasn’t for them attacking Lorcan while the ref was turned, this would’ve turned out a lot differently.

Heavy Machinery defeated Riddick Moss and Tino Sabbatelli

This was an interesting little match, as it featured Heavy Machinery throwing their weight around, no joke. They eventually would get the win as Riddick Moss and Tino Sabbatelli are going their separate ways, as one refused to tag in, and left the other for dead.

Johnny Gargano was stretchered out of Full Sail after Tommaso Ciampa attacked

Ciampa attacked Gargano with a serious frenetic pace that was nothing short of insane. It was a killer beat down that goes down deep into the ages of the world of wrestling. It was a nice intense fight and at the end of the day Ciampa got the last laugh by throwing Gargano down a table with a finisher that looked just as brutal as ever.

Aleister Black defeated Eric Young

Since the title match didn’t happen, Eric Young and Sanity came down the ramp and challenged Black and he accepted. This was a good overall television match with lots of back and forth action, and some stellar offense and defense from both men. Black was able to control some of the match, but not all of it, with a great deal of maneuvering overall. Young was able to fly through the air, and got a little help from Sanity, but it wasn’t enough because Black Mass hit and Young was thrown down as he is now going to Smackdown with his crew.

Overall, the night of wrestling felt crisp, and within only 1 hour, I was fully vested into the happenings that are going on with WWE NXT, that’s for certain.

WWE NXT December 13, 2017 Results and Review A Stand Out of Wrestling Purity

Aleister Black Wins Again - SRC WWE dot com 

If you like pure wrestling, kind of like WCW Saturday Night, then you’ll like this night of NXT. I loved the showcase, but there were some sour points too. Let’s discuss it.

WWE NXT December 13, 2017 Results and Review

Andrade Cien Almas defeated Fabian Aichner

Aichner took to the skies and surprised Almas, which was interesting. Even though the champ was shocked, he was able to get back into form and won the match with his finisher. Not a bad match, mind you, but it was quick and lacked psychology. AIchner has a long way to go, but here he wasn’t half bad.

Ember Moon defeated Peyton Royce

This wasn’t that great. It was ok. Ember Moon needs better competition than Royce, which is still looking a bit too “diva” like if you ask me. Another quality match, but it wasn’t great because it was so short.

The Authors of Pain defeated Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch

This was a fast paced match with The Authors of Pain turning things around after an initial beat down from the foreign team. They would eventually throw down the gauntlet and put in their finisher before getting the pinfall victory.

Aleister Black defeated Adam Cole

Adam Cole BABY! That’s what Adam kept pushing what his name was, and it wasn’t half bad. I liked it, I popped for it, and well Black wasn’t having it. Black is incredibly skilled at Martial Arts, and can throw it into the match very well. Cole uniquely avoided a few things, but eventually succumb to Black throwing in some great kicks and counters. This eventually ended with Black hitting his big kick and boom, Cole goes down and that’s the end of the match.

NXT may only have been 45 minutes, but it seemed so much fun, and a lot better than 205 Live. I liked this night, but mainly the main event. I can’t wait to see Black as champion.

WWE NXT April 12, 2017 Results and Review Lorcan Deserves Respect

Drew McIntyre is Back - SRC wwe.com 

WWE NXT had a formatting reset, with a lot of attention given to new stars, new song, and new showcase of talent. This night was packed with a lot in 45 minutes, and that doesn’t mean great wrestling, or does it?

WWE NXT April 12, 2017 Results

Aleister Black defeated Corey Hollis
DIY defeated Dylan Miley and Michael Blais
Ruby Riot defeated Kimberly Frankele
Drew McIntyre defeated Oney Lorcan
Shinsuke Nakamura cannot speak English

WWE NXT April 12, 2017 Review

Aleister Black defeated Corey Hollis

Black did one kick and won. Corey Hollis, thanks for coming by.

DIY defeated Dylan Miley and Michael Blais

DIY was getting a beat down by Miley, who is a juggernaut. Michael Blais, or Michael Hayes as someone said on commentary, got beat down. He’s broken, and was broken.

Ruby Riot defeated Kimberly Frankele

A fast match with not much to write about, Riot wins, despite distraction from Sanity.

Drew McIntyre defeated Oney Lorcan

Holy crap. McIntyre and Lorcan went strong style, and Lorcan legit got busted open. I was impressed with both of these guys, as they really put on a show with hard hitting punches and kicks. Lorcan at one point was hitting Drew as hard as he could in the neck, making it severely read. At another point Drew busted Lorcan open hard style, and eventually got the win. The cameras would not show Lorcan getting stitched up in ring, and that was funny. McIntyre is awesome now, I can’t wait to see what he can do against the rest of the NXT guys.

Shinsuke Nakamura cannot speak English

Shinsuke said goodbye, and he could barely go through a promo. He needs ESL help. I will volunteer to help him, so WWE, holla at your body.

WWE NXT April 6, 2017 Results and Review Smartest Main Event Ever

El Vagabundo, Smart Move - Src WWE.Com 

NXT was recorded at the Amway center and the crowd was huge, but there were only 3 matches this time around. I don’t know if this was recorded before or after Takeover, but it was interesting none the less.

Here is how it all went down, in what may be one of the smartest main events, or at least the most fun.

WWE NXT April 6, 2017 Results

Peyton Royce defeated Aliyah
Heavy Machinery defeated The Bollywood Boyz
Oney Lorcan defeated El Vagabundo

WWE NXT April 6, 2017 Review

Peyton Royce defeated Aliyah

The NXT women’s division needs a lot more women. These ladies are ok, but they looked as though they were working in slow motion at times. Not as good as the title picture, I’ll tell you that much. Asuka needs better competition, or to move to the main roster, these women aren’t ready.

Heavy Machinery defeated The Bollywood Boyz

I love the Bollywood Boyz, but in this match, they lost big by the fat guys. I mean, the big guys. They are a fun team, but the Boyz should get more shots at the main roster, I like their gimmick and their style. Great wrestlers, lost against the big guys.

Oney Lorcan defeated El Vagabundo

This wasn’t half bad. El Vagabundo was fascinating to me, then it was obvious that it was the Drifter! I marked out, and the crowd marked out huge. He would lose this match and get escorted out, only after his mask was pulled off. Lorcan is now on 205 Live, I guess? Vagabundo should be going to the main roster now? I don’t know.

At the end of the day, NXT was ok, only saved by the end of the show.

WWE 205 Live Results and Review Give Jack Gallagher a Raise

Jack Gallagher Highlights 205 Live - src wwe.com 

205 Live had some interesting points, but overall, it was all somewhat predictable, with one exception. If there’s an A show for wrestling, it’s this one. 205 Live is a wonderful display of awesome elements.

WWE 205 Live Results

Akira Tozawa defeated The Brian Kendrick
Rich Swann defeated Oney Lorcan
Austin Aries defeated Tj Perkins, Jack Gallagher, and Mustafa Ali to be the No. 1 Contender

WWE 205 Live Review

This is a pure wrestling show, so let’s discuss that part of it. Well, to be fair, Neville showed up at one point. Neville said a few things, and that’s that.

Akira Tozawa defeated The Brian Kendrick

Tozawa put on a show against Brian Kendrick, as usual. Kendrick faked a knee injury and rolled up Kendrick, leading him to get on the mic and say he has taught Kendrick a lesson. Fun stuff here, with a lot of great moments, even if it wasn’t long.

Rich Swann defeated Oney Lorcan

Oney Lorcan is a ball of fire. From the start, he threw everything he had against Rich Swann. I was impressed with the speed and precision of Lorcan, as he moved as fast as he could through moves, and Swann getting a win, but only after he had to wake up fast. Swann then got on the mic and said that he loved Alicia FOuuuuuuxxxx. Lorcan doesn’t look like much, but is amazing, I can’t wait to see him get more matches.

Austin Aries defeated Tj Perkins, Jack Gallagher, and Mustafa Ali to be the No. 1 Contender

Austin Aries was great here, but it was Mustafa Ali, Tj Perkins, and Jack Gallagher that stole the show. Gallagher especially, wow. Ali is also impressive, and Perkins has some great moves too. This was a fun match, with Aries getting the win at the end and getting another shot at Neville. Gallagher, though, wow. Ali, wow, and Perkins, amazing. Great overall show.

WWE NXT March 22, 2017 Results and Review Terrible Names and A New Challenger

Who Dis? - SRC WWE.COM

WWE NXT is a hit or miss show, that’s about it. No matter what you think about WWE’s product, this definitely is worth your time. It’s like Smackdown LITE in a way. It’s something that you don’t want to miss, but at times, you don’t really want to pay attention to at all. This is how this week’s show went down.

WWE NXT March 22, 2017 Results

Andrade “Cien” Almas defeated Oney Lorcan
Asuka defeated Priscilla Zuniga
Tye Dillinger, Roderick Strong, and No Way Jose vs. Sanity ended in a No Contest

WWE NXT March 22, 2017 Review

Well, this show opened up with an interesting match, but for all the wrong reasons.

Andrade “Cien” Almas defeated Oney Lorcan

Oney Lorcan, the worst name in WWE’s developmental system fought off Andraded “Cien” Almas. When Almas first showed up in the WWE, he was a good guy, now he’s a bad guy, and while has a lot of upside, this match didn’t do him any favors. Oney Lorcan fought him off at every turn, with some hard style work, but it was Almas that would get the win with the double knees, which is definitely grand.

Asuka defeated Priscilla Zuniga

Asuka beat down Priscilla Zuniga. Asuka’s English is absolutely horrendous here. If she makes it to the main roster, she needs a mouth piece, or else she’ll get buried by the likes of Charlotte. But then again, she may be able to make moves on Smackdown, since I can’t understand half of what Becky Lynch is saying.

Tye Dillinger, Roderick Strong, and No Way Jose vs. Sanity ended in a No Contest

This match didn’t get too far before it got broken up. Tye Dillinger, Roderick Strong, and No Way Jose were all business here, nothing fancy. It was ok, for a brawl. A mystery woman showed up, and I don’t know who she is.

At the end of the day, this was an OK show. The end showed Ohno issuing a challenge to The Drifter, loser leaves NXT.
