NXT Show Lakeland Armory, FL 11/9

[jackknight]

The best part of this show for me, was it was the first time little Jack invaded NXT.  


The Artiste Aiden English was finally signing and loved his sign.


First match of the night, Bull something vs. Knuckles something.


Jack liked it.


Here come the divas. Two new ones this time out, a Prom Queen and the horrible, horrible Irish girl who is attempting to high five Bayley. Did I mention she was horrible?


They double-team Bayley in the corner. Boooo!


Leo Kruger undergoes a costume change. For the worse.


One of the Varsity Club guys and Fake Kazarian are now a Eurotrash team. Between Joseph Park Kane and this Bad Influence knock-off you'd think TNA was doing something right.


Jason Jordan ditches CJ Parker for Mason Ryan. Big step up JJ.


Well... maybe not. They did beat the Ascension though. The bastards.


JJ in CJ Parker's old role. No tag for you!


Tyler Breeze (formerly Cell Phone guy) faces the Boogey Woogey Man CJ Parker.


CJ's dancing days are over.


This is what happens when you eat at Taco Bell.


No Tyler didn't win. But awesome match.


Poor Colin Cassady gets squashed by Hercules.


That uncultured ruffian Adrian Neville faces off with the Artiste.


Another great match. Even if Adrian won.


Sammi Zayn takes on NXT Champ Bo Dallas for the Title!


Sammi! Sammi! Sammi!


Man is this "Best for Business" shit old already. Tonight's dose comes from "The One" Billy Gunn who attacks Sammi post match.

Looks like it was a strong show. Neville vs English, The Ascension tag, and Dallas vs. Generico matches I could see being excellent. Leo Krueger's new look is totally generic, he must've left his gear somewhere and borrowed that, right? LOL. Looks like Jackie had a good time.

Does English look as much like Cessaro in person as he does in pics? He looks more like Claudio Castagnoli than Cessaro, but you know what I mean.

Jack mostly had a good time. Didn't like how loud it was. Though strangely that wasn't an issue once we let him use the Nabi. lol.

Definitely agree on Kruger's new look. Very generic, but I have a feeling it's permanent. Think someone in the E thought we were cheering him cause the fatigues make us think of the USA instead of South Africa. And god forbid we cheer someone they don't want us to.

You nailed the best matches of the night. Breeze vs. Parker needs to be on that list too. But those four made the show.

And I didn't even notice the similarity between Cesaro and English until you just mentioned it. They even have similar builds.

Forgot to post this in the review, more pics of the show on my Facebook.

Is Bo Dallas heeling and talking shit in Generico's face or is he checking on him? The kid should chop half his hair off, paint his face up, and join the Wyatt Family, him teaming with Harper makes the whole group better. Rowan's so bad that he makes Harper look worse, since Harper has been working singles bouts he has been a very talented brawler. A smaller, yet crazy, partner is exactly what he needs.

I can see English's gimmick being money. Once Sandow gets the WHC for a legit reign (prolly not til after Mania if at all) bring in English as his foreign minister or something goofy. They can have segments appreciating classical music, using big words to make everyone feel dumb.

Ugh well unless he is going to the Shield then moving him to all black is retarded. God forbid he have a unique look. Plenty of foreign heels have worn fatigues, I mean put a mini South African flag on the side pocket or something.
