NXT 6/12
Going to be a big night in NXT. Bo Dallas will take on Big E Langston for the NXT Title. They've hyped this up as a big deal...I've read the spoilers, so I know it WILL be a big deal. So, I'm pretty hyped for this episode.
-El Sami Zayn v. Antonio Cesaro II - This.match.is.so.good. Cesaro is the pissed off, hard hitting, established strongman. Zayn is the upstart, resiliant, fighting babyface. This might be the best match of the year in NXT. Its right there with the Regal/Ohno match. So good. MUST WATCH. I want Zayn-Cesaro III at the next taping.
Interview with Bayley, who is seemingly playing a retard.
Leo Kruger promo package. Someone get this guy a manager.
-Baron Corbin & Travis Tyler v. Scott Dawson & Garrett Dylan - They are obviously looking to establish this Dylan and Dawson tag team. The "southern boys" tag team is such a dated and cliche concept though. When you got crazy ideas like the Wyatt Family and The Ascension in NXT while the main roster has The Uso's, Prime Time Playas, Team Hell No and The Shield...all groups that standout...this generic southern boys tag team just doesn't interest me. The southern boys win with an Arn Anderson spinebuster and some off the top hijinx.
OHNO SHIRT WATCH - He changes up the Misawa shirt and is now wearing a Cloud Kicker shirt.
-Bayley v. Alicia Fox - Bayley has a Triceratops on her trunks. A TRICERATOPS! That's all got to say about this one. I fast forwarded this one and I guess Alicia Fox wins.
Awesome Wyatt Family promo package. Fantabulous. Seeing Bray Wyatt's character evolve in the NXT bubble has been awesome. He started out as a bit more of a subtle crazy southern preacher...now he's just fucking crazy shouting jibberish. Its awesome.
-Big E Langston (C) v. Bo Dallas - Big match feel. Bo Dallas out first. He's hamming it up as a face, but is getting booed by everyone. Big E out next. Bo Dallas is one charasma-less lesbian. The match isn't terrible. It was layed out nicely. The ending falls a bit flat, but, Bo Dallas wins the NXT Title...crowd is sad, boos the fuck out of him. I don't get Bo Dallas and I probably never will. It was about time Big E lost the title anyway. He's an absolute regular on the main roster and I doubt we'll see him much in NXT going forward. The Full Sail crowd will definitely miss him. He was usually the most over guy in the building.
Bon Voyage, Big E. I'll rock your original theme tonight in memorium.
Anyway...this is a MUST WATCH NXT. The Cesaro-Zayn match is a appointment viewing. You should watch the Title Change...because its a title change. Good episode...will watch Zayn-Cesaro II again.
