Being a pretty big NXT fan I decided to do a personal recap & review for what I thought was one of the better episodes the show has taped in awhile.
Match 1:
Neville v. Breeze - Winner = Neville w/ High-Flying Tactics
Overall this match was pretty good, I didn't really find anything wrong with it. Both wrestlers put up a good match and Neville used his high flying capabilities to come away with a win in a decently timed match.
Match 2:
CJ Parker v. Jason Jordon - Winner = CJ Parker
This was the one match where I took a short break and thankfully it was short because it ended painfully quickly, and I was glad too. CJ Parker's character is not one of my taste and the match was very short and seemed to draw no interest from the crowd.
Match 3:
Mojo Rawley v. Bo Dallas (c) in a non-title match - Winner = Bo Dallas
When I heard about the match I was pretty hyped, I had a feeling Bo was going to win even before watching, something was just telling me they wouldn't let Mojo beat the champ on the first try.. Anyways this match was pretty entertaining Mojo had his moments of dominance while Bo played it cool, but somewhat cowardly and ended up getting the surprise roll-up on Mojo for the win.
Match 4:
(II) Alexander Rusev v. Kofi Kingston | Rematch - Winner = Kofi Kingston
This was the match I was most hyped for when looking at the lineup for the show, one reason because Rusev is one of my favorite NXT wrestlers and another because I wanted to see what the result was knowing that a week later at the RAW show (this past monday) Kofi would beat Randy Orton in an upset. The match was really good in length and it was filled with fierceness, strength and agility.. Kofi put on a decent show for the NXT universe, Alexander Rusev did the exact same.. It ended with Kofi finishing off Rusev with the Trouble in Paradise.
Overall this was one of the better NXT shows they've taped and released, the matches were solid (exception of CJ Parker's) both in time and entertainment factors. I'd give it a solid 3.5 compared to what I've considered the better NXT shows.
