So, this episode was also bad?
:/
Rhodes as on-screen GM, Regal and JR on commentary, NXT and FCW wrestlers as the roster, all of it sounded to good, or what?
Rhodes didn't even appear. JR commentated with Saxton for most of the show. Also, JR's commentary was brutal in every way. It was a combination of having no idea about the talent in most cases and tossing together random adjectives in an attempt to "describe" talent he's apparently not very familiar with using terms that weren't even remotely applicable.
There were SEVEN matches and NONE of them hit five minutes. Total, there was less than twenty minutes of actual wrestling. Again, there were seven matches. No backstage segments. Fewer hype videos (which weren't as good as last week anyway).
Maybe they cancelled a few matches they thought were uninteresting. I would have cancelled the Rollins match but they already announced him for next week so they had no choice.
Weird, I thought Seth looked way better in this show than on FCW, in fact he was probably my highlight of the show along with Ascension and Jinder Mahal. Don't understand the hate for either Rollins or Mahal on here.
NXT is confusing. They're editing/cutting/pasting different parts of the show to make it into 1 show? 1 second I'm watching a match with JR-Saxton on commentary, 1 min later it's Regal-JR-Russo, then another few mins later, it's back to JR-Saxton
They moved one match from what seemed to be the third or fourth episode to the second. Hence the random commentary swapping.
Just watched Seth Rollins debut on NXT, he looked good in the ring but my god he really needs to drop the moshing on the stage and headbanging on the turnbuckle. It looks absolutely ridiculous.
