what was this guy... Roney... Orny Rorcan? Was that it? Or *scrolls up* Oney Lorcan! That's it! I'm just gonna call him Lonely Orcan right now because thats' what I heard at first. What kinda cheap knockoff K-mart version Lord of the Rings shit is Oney Lorcan, anyway? Sheesh change that now. BUT HE LOOKED COOL THOUGH! Found it interesting that despite just one DEVASTATING uppercut spot and a super sweet finish, this dude came across a billion times better than Cien did. Maybe it was the dead crowd or the low expectations of "some dude" vs "INTERNATIONAL SENSATION BILLION TIME CHAMP LA SOMBRA NOW UNMASKED". Meanwhile Tye Dillinger is JUST A FIVE AT BEST! *throws down papers* LOL. Now he's on a quest... to find himself... which will lead to more losses. TEN. Maybe he can get called up to Raw and get his "big win!" over like the Miz or someone while Buddy Murphy becomes the new jobber to the stars
so this is No Way Jose...
"Jose and Jos-B, the Lopez Brothers" may be my favorite line in wrestling history. 2:15
yeah pretty cool finish and all but I wasn't impressed. Maybe he'll be Adam Rose's replacement this week on Raw who knows but I LOVE NXT. Only on this show can we have 8 hours of terrible Austin Aries dancing and it can be the best part of the show hahaha. This went on so far after it reached the so bad it's good point. I mean you knew the attack was coming, but I thought he'd just jump him in the ring... nah, on the ring apron, the stairs? The ramp? What are we even LMAO. Hahahahahaha him choreographing turns so he can do his little discus forearm... I can't put into words how much I enjoyed this. And sure, maybe it was annoying to see the shitty Paige special of "submissions on other surfaces are extra painful!" bullshit, but holy crap IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF LITTLE IZZY ARIES YOU MONSTER. We should have an Izzy cam for 99% of wrestling segments or any other little 8 year old where it's still real to them, dammit! I've seen 10,000 pro wrestling beatdowns and 9,000 better than this but Izzy was in SO MUCH SHOCK AND PAIN FROM ARIES TRYING TO BREAK NO WAY JOSE-B... *chuckles*. Then Aries let go of the Chancery and an unconscious NWJ bonked his head on the steel and it all made sense in the end! :yay: This segment = thumbs up.
OMG Buddy Murphy being the most generic dude ever interrupting Shinsuke Nakamura wearing a weird ass Almost an American Flag shirt from the 70's and cowboy boots and speaking in his castrated Brock Lesnar voice saying 'You face... king... of strong style" and awkwardly posing and slowly walking off camera was the thing I needed in my life and never knew. LOL
Backstage, Carmella and Alexa were annoying (although Alexa was totally right here), then BAYLEY ANNOUNCED HER RETURN YAY and Deonna came out and I pointed and laughed Nelson-style and fast-forwarded through the match
HOLY SHIT. Nia's usually the most awkward wrestler - she's often WAY too stiff in the ring with her power moves, and the other times she's so worried that she's going to hurt someone that she's Big Show levels of light, but she's getting faster and more confident but damn does that problem remain and I don't even know how to feel about it or where that balance is, but the first and last moves of the match had me jump out of my chair. Poor Liv Morgan is feeling that one BIG time. Maybe it was just a good sell but that powerbomb looked like it broke that girl in half!... but this isn't leading to anything anyway. Hey, more Liv will definitely be a good thing! Looking forward to when she's TV ready, seems like one hell of an athlete so far!
Never mind, my favorite thing on NXT is "Anyone who sucks gets a one way ticket to Kinshasha City, Bitch! Courtesy of the King of Strong Style! THAT WAS SO DAMN SATISFYING. Snickers is changing it's name to Shinsuke. I enjoyed this SO MUCH MORE than Nak vs Aries! That massive forearm right to the face, knee strike to the gut and three kicks to chop him down and freaking WRECKING with a series of knee strikes and a Boma Ye and it felt DONE. MORE NAKAMURA SQUASHES! PLEASE! THESE ARE WONDERFUL!
Good show this week, if you like the usual NXT affair.
