11-07-12 NXT Review/recap

Yeah I am a little late on this but here we go, a recap of NXT!

Kassius Ohno, the former Chris Hero, taking on Trent Baretta.  Strangely Matt Striker is the ring announcer.  Baretta is a guy who will never get a change in WWE most likely.  He isn't big enough and doesn't have that "it" factor.  He might get a tag team or at best a IC/US shot.  Ohno just used the apron skirt to cover Baretta's face and take control.  It is great to hear William Regal as an announcer.  He brings such knowledge to the announce booth, much like Taz does in TNA.  Ohno should be on the main roster at this point.  He has a nice beard too!  Baretta is having a good showing and has that never say die attitude, which is a decent angle if they ever want to use it, but Ohno could be a start given the chance and right angle.  Baretta just did the horrible missile dropkick where he lands on his back, I hate it because it is basically taking a superplex.  Ohno hits a Roaring Elbow for the win.  He is going to need a better finisher however.  Hell Baretta is already back on his feet and knocks Ohno out of the ring before a further beating.  NXT creative needs a better finisher for him and he could be a star!

We get a promo of a tattooed up star talking about how each tat has a story.  He has Stay Down on his fingers and Graves is shown at the end.

Big E Langston is next.  This man is money!    Memo Montenegro is the victim of the 5 count tonight.  The 5 count is over with the NXT crowd but it is the same crowd every week.  i don't know if it would be over in a new town each week.  That is the problem with NXT and TNA both.  The same crowd end up coming each week.  He also could use a slightly better finisher.  He puts his man up for a Running Powerslam but instead just slams him straight down, face first.  He should either do a running powerslam or Ron Simmons Dominator.  I actually like the Dominator idea.  The fans are chanting one more time.  He has already hit two.  Great here is Vicki Guerrero and she has put out a $5000 dollar bounty out on Big E's head.  I wouldn't try to collect that!  More one more time chants and Big E is going to do it.  Chad Baxtor is his name and Big E destroys him.

Next up is Jason Jordan taking on....the Former Husky Harris comes out and starts talking about walking up and having wings and for people to start seeing the lie they are living.  Okay.  I'm confused.  Jordan challenges Bray Wyatt and he is a monster and never alone.  Out comes some guy that looks like Necro Butcher, he isn't but reminds me of him in look and dress.  They call Jordan a Third Generation Star.  Wow faux Necro just killed Jordan with a lariat.  He hits the Bossman Slam for the win.  Lots of nice beards in NXT!  This is Luke Harper, the first son of the Wyatt of the Family.  Interesting.

Roman Reigns comes out and we get a promo from him.  Okay, the just is everyone wants to be Roman Reigns.

Next we have Jinder Mahal, Bo Dallas, Justin Gabriel and Drew McIntyre in a number one contenders match.  Bo of course is IRS's son, and this is going to be elimination style!  I dig that.  I wish WWE did more elimination style multiman matches.  Bo should be the victor as the others are already on the main roster.  For the record I don't like these multiman matches.  It is always two guys fighting while the others sit around.  Dallas pins Drew with a spear and caught Justin with a spear from a springboard and then it is Bo and Jinder.  I like that Bo is wearing the old Blackjack black glove, his grandfather is Blackjack Mulligan after all.  Jinder is much better on NXT then any match on WWE TV.  Sadly he has the stupid gimmick of the 3 Man Band now.  Jinder locks in the Camel Clutch and gets the submission which brings in the NXT Champ Seth Rollins, the former Tyler Black in ROH.  These two face off next week.  I don't agree with the booking but I guess they feel they are building up Rollins by having him beat main roster guys.  Interesting.

That is it folks.  Until the next time this is the Fat Man saying Abyssinia!
