2020-01-02 NXT UK Review


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-02-09, I am checking out the first NXT UK of the decade, the show from 2020-01-02.  I do not follow NXT UK closely so I am not sure what is going on aside from Walter so let us go to the show!
  • The theme music is horrible with a capital H!
  • Yes my favourite guy on this roster, Mastiff is on!  
  • Mastiff is my brother from another mother
  • First look and I already hate Kona Reeves
  • I want to see Mastiff and Otis tag together!
  • How are guys like Mastiff and Otis so athletic?  
  • Is Nivan a lumberjack or is she channelling Mick Foley?
  • Why would Nivan give up her shot?  Makes no sense Toni
  • Wow....I think Ohno has but on more weight.
  • The ample midsection of Ohno
  • This match has been brutal, Ohno looks like he is wrestling underwater.  He just walking around it is bad
  • Mack is huge!  Look at that neck.  He looks like an action figure came to life
  • Mack should be given the Bubba Rogers/Diesel bodyguard role.  Silent giant
  • This music does not fit a babyface
  • Why do most of these UK stars look like children
  • I hate that jump off the top buckle and do a somersault thing that is done so often now.  I would love to see a guy like Sheamus just kick the persons head off as he stood up
  • Look at Wolfe's chest
  • Damn that Legsweep into a knee neckbreaker looked like it did break Dragunov's neck
  •  That is just stupid.  Wolfe was obviously holding the chair
  • This match is taking way too long and just illogical at times
  • Dragunov selling of the hands is fantastic.  This match is taking way too long but the selling is good
The show really drug at the end for me.  These no DQ matches are just ridiculous when they do things like a chair to the throat and he keeps going.  Should not take 20+ minutes with kendo sticks, chairs, tables and other things.  I did like the Mastiff stuff and Ohno stuff with Big Dave.  However, the rest of the matches were just there for me.  Ohno looked bad and sluggish.  The tag match was an okay match.  Overall not a great show at all.  Hopefully, the shows pick up in the future!
