Alex Riley (first match back after knee surgery) beat Bull Dempsey Elias Sampson beat John Skyler Sami Zayn vs. Samoa Joe vs. Baron Corbin for the title shot saw Zayn put Corbin the sharpshooter and Joe put Corbin in the crossface.

SirSmUgly Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Blake and Murphy have rounded into quite the awesome heel tag team. They have creative cheating spots and pinball around after the faces make their comeback. They also look like utter sleazebags. We shouldn't sleep on them because they have really come into their own. As far as American Alpha (ugh on that name), Jordan tossing dudes around and Gable doing sweet arm drags and headscissors and judo throws is just pretty to watch. I could watch them mat wrestle guys all day. So good. Some stuff happened (including a good video package, something that the main shows need more of) before Alex Riley showed up, which was a real bummer. Riley and Elias Samson should be put in a tag team so I can endure them both at the same time and get it over with. At least his promo gave some decent logic to his heel turn, though we already had it with his anger that everyone cheered for Owens over him. Then fucking Elias Samson comes out after that, and no, I didn't read the spoilers, so I wasn't expecting Riley or Samson, and definitely not back to back. OK, that Hype Bros. promo made me chuckle. "BRO, STOP WATCHIN' ME SLEEP!" "Noooooot happening." I enjoyed the punch-kick in the triple threat, but I ended up wishing that they would have done something different so we could get three one-on-one matches in a round robin instead of one triple threat. It's hard to have a good triple threat because there is too much laying around, and I like all these guys quite a bit in-ring at this point. Joe is so much better as a heel. His slaps are powered by hatred. Zayn needs to get a pinfall or two with that Blue Thunder Bomb so that it can actually be a convincing near-fall. Corbin's strikes are way better than five months ago. He's now a legitimately good striker, I think. I actually am sad that he took the fall because I wanted to see him wrestle Bálor one-on-one instead of what looks to be yet another triple threat. LOL at Sami saying, "Hey, I had him in the Sharpshooter and he tapped out" followed by Joe responding "It was a horribleSharpshooter and I had him in the crossface!" But man, I feel like this angle at the end didn't work, and I really wish that they went another direction with this. Like Corbin beating Zayn and crowing that he had now taken out two indy darlings and had his sights set on a third one. EDIT: Now I went back and read the spoilers at the top of this thread. 2 out of 3 falls to determine the #1 contender is WAY better than running a triple threat of Joe/Bálor/Zayn. Now I'm much happier about that finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Emma and Dana's promo was awesome. Carmella better watch her back. I didn't hate Alex Riley. He still has a good theme. Poor fucking Liv Morgan. Jeeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGFanJay Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Last week's show wasn't amazing, but still better than this one. American Alpha's win was fun, and the main event was quite good. Nia vs. Liv was just terrible though. The main event could've been better - but I liked the non-finish since it did build up Sami vs. Joe perfectly, and Baron is the weak link of the chain that didn't look weak. It took two top guys to make him tap out.http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2016/01/nxt-1-27-16.htmlScreens -Bow Down to the King of HHH Impersonatorshttp://www.imagebam.com/gallery/m6minp53uiuza97h4ypukb6tsfb1154o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trocar Slush Weasel Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Holy shit, Corbin seemed like he blasted Sami with that one punch at the end. Maybe Cass can get in the same "How to strike like you mean it" class that Corbin seems to have been taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Triple threat was fun for what it was. Corbin definitely looked like he belonged in there with the other two. He also took some big bumps for Zayn that I wasn't expecting. Joe cracked me up at the end. It made sense for Sami to argue because he didn't see it, but Joe was clearly aware of what was going on and was just being a dick about it. Solid heel work right there. Also, yall just going to ignore how trash the crowd was for that ending segment? Like, the best wrestlers in the world are flying to your shit hole of a state to film TV and you chant "we can't hear you" when WILLIAM FUCKING REGAL is talking. Get the fuck out of here with all that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Rest of the show was hit or miss, but Enzo is legit amazing and should have been up on the main roster a year ago. That dude is can't miss. New Day vs Enzo/Cass please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
