Welcome to the NXT Podcast, your home for weekly NXT reviews and insight.
The beautiful part of NXT is that when one dream ends, another dream begins.
Find all of your NXT news recaps and analysis right here. So with
that being said, we only have one question for you. Are we thought?
So let's get the show started right now, don't all right? Everyone,
This is Memphis Mark coming to you from Mullet Manner and we're going to
do the review for NXT on eleven fourteen. Now, usually they just do
your average recap of the prior show. This when they came out a little
different, a little something something, because they're building the angle of Andre Chase.
Maybe he committed a foul, maybe he crossed the lines, maybe he
pulled a deal off he shouldn't have done. But that's kind of the way
it starts. And then the champs, the Tag team champs show up,
and of course the press is all over them, but they're gonna start it
out with Andre Chase and Duke Hudson putting up the tag team belts they were.
They're accompanied by the Hale and Jacy Jane of course, and and they're
really building j C. Jane into this angle, uh, you know for
the of course, for the the turn. But yeah, so you've got
this match with Tony Dian uh and Stax you know, h Channing or what
is it. I'm gonna start calling him by his name that I'm sure that
they'll go too. But uh, yeah you got uh, you got Tony
din Stax trying to get the belts back. Uh. And this match is
not so bad. You know, Andre has gotten better as far as his
n ring work, his timing uh and everything and freaking uh Tony d Downey
Thorny. You know, Thorny's standing in the gym. It looks like he's
kay, he's he's being very good with the fosta. Uh the guy to
go, you know, he's he's doing good. But uh, in Stacks
looks good, you know, definitely hitting the cardio or whatever like that.
So and you know, Duke is is a big strong and say big strong
guy, so he's you know, it looks good. He's taller than everybody.
But the Stacks looks like somebody I would hire to watch the door or
check IDs. So in the match itself, the match itself is not bad
at all. You know, let me see here, you've got the crowd
though, the crowd with the information out there that there's an investigation, like
an NCAA investigation going into chase you. The crowd has their newspapers up like
they're not interested at some point in time. So kind of different, you
know, kind of different. But man, the speed of this match,
the work between the guys is really really good. Let me see, we
had one kind of mess up to where who was it who did not jump
high enough? Let me see who was that? Uh? Yeah, Andre
did not jump high enough when Tony d was doing one uh or you know,
Tony was jumping and Andre didn't. Duck is what it was, right,
And so that was really the only screw up and they pulled it off
so well, so who cares. It was a good match back and forth.
They have good, pretty good chemistry, uh, you know between all
of the the newspaper guys reading out there in the crowd and uh and and
building on this angle. Hey, not a bad match at all, But
towards the end, you know, it keeps going back and forth and everybody
thinks the other is going to win. It ends up with a botty bing
and we have some new champs. That's right, Tony d and Stacks win
the belts back. So that is pretty much how the show is starting off,
and I'm going to try to do it a little different here. I'm
trying to make sure I've got all of my video going while I'm doing the
doing the show, and I'm going to post a couple of spots or at
least one for show about starting to show off on X used to be Twitter
and a few other things, just so getting and showing you how small my
studio is for one thing, and it's literally it's a really big it's a
no, it's a normal sized back bathroom. It just doesn't have a bathroom
stuff in it, but it is soundproof. But anyway, we go from
that match to where let me see they win, and then they do a
Leita. Lida is on here doing her Iron Survivor Challenge matches. You know,
they had a different superstar, a legend, a Hall of Famer.
This week it's it is Lida, and then next week it's JBL and then
ending it up with my Memphis guy, Jerry Lawler, Jerry the King Lawler.
Excuse me, but Leda comes out and she puts together the matches tonight
for Rocks and Perez to go against Lash Legend, and you need to have
a Trick going against Trick Williams going against Woop Diatrick, Whoop Datrick going against
Joe Coffee with the Gallas and the Gallas Broudos. Uh so yeah, that
is coming up a little later. They got a quick little promo what to
do with a Baron and Dominic, and you know, Dominic's letting them know,
hey, you know, you know, if you need any help or
something, just give a brother holla, and Baron saying he's been turning it
up and he's gonna do it to Dragon draggon off and uh and you know,
uh so yeah in the west late to night because he's facing west late
to night. So yeah, they're gonna do that. Uh. Then you're
coming up with this metaphor and no Amdor doing the super Nova sessions. And
this week gets his guest is Alpha Academy, So of course they're gonna come
out and make a big stink with that big old trophy there. They carry
around that big old bowling trophy there or whatever, but they get Alpha Academy,
and of course Otis when he's coming out there, he's bringing the funk
We got the funk o. But I mean he's bringing it on out there
and the crowds all hyped up and they get in the ring and you get
each person for metaphor gets the stick for a few seconds. Miss Jordan does
a little talking. You've got Lash of course doing a little talking a mensa
tajare you know Otis does. Everybody gets the stick, they pass it around
and let everybody get a little TV time, So that I think is an
other reason some of these guys are down in n XTRE. More time on
the on on camera, the better your timing gets in, the better everything
goes. But in this particular session which ends up ending with Chad Gable challenging
for the the Heritage Cup, I was gonna call it the Vintage Cup,
but the Heritage Cup. But they act like Otis is going to challenge,
and before that, Otis is saying that anything Lash Legend says that he's on
board with, and which of course makes Lash Legend go. But I'm sure
we got something on down the road. Yeah. The interview ends up with
no, I am taking a swim at at Chad Gable and Chad Headbutson and
then Bama but they're going to lash Legends match next to where she's going against
Roxanne in this Iron Survivor Challenge match for qualifying, and Lash is bigger and
definitely stronger, and in this particular match, Roxanne is actually, yeah,
probably a little better adapt in the ring. They've been giving her the push,
so she's definitely been getting showing them in the background, but she does
all the little weaves and wives of Ray Mysterio moves on the bigger person and
everything. But man, Lash is so much bigger and stronger, and look,
she does like a cartwheel or some and she is a basketball you know,
you know, she's a baller. She's a for real uh and she
does like a flip. So she's not a gymnast trying to be a wrestler
or a wrestler trying to be a gymnast. She's just a badass athlete.
But yeah, they end up having to have an angle in this because Roxanne's
been getting the push. So how were they going to change it around?
I wonder, well, you bring Keanna James out to put her little angle
into it. She holds on to the foot, big Lash gets to put
a big halluvah kick or whatever you want to call it. Big Foot upside
the girl's head and gets her back in the ring and power bombs her and
Lash Legend wins her qualifying match. And Lash looked good in this, but
you could definitely tell her timing. She's just a little off. But she
was facing such a smaller opponent. And when you haven't had the ring time
and you've been there with somebody that's good, but there's that much smaller,
you know, that's got to be hard in itself, you know, So,
hey, I kind of like it. The mattress pretty good. I
think both the ladies look good. So wow, we go from there to
your going into the men's locker room and a bunch of people in there.
You got Tank and Hank and all the guys in their axiom and they're rambling
and rolling, and yeah, the tag champs, the new tag champs come
in and they kind of, you know, like, hey, guys,
check it out. We did it. We did what we said. And
of course the guys are you know, all trying to get up in there
and say they want a shot at the belts. You got a little everybody
in there, so yeah, it wasn't so bad. Good little spot there.
Of course, they end in a fight he got in in the throwdown.
But then they do a pretty good cinema type promo here with Zione and
Lyra the champ, you know, because Lyra's doing looking at the match and
she's got her trainers with her and they're talking this and talking that, and
then they say that Ziur Lee has invited her to a traditional I guess it
would be a Chinese tea party where the opponents I guess get together and figure
out the tea leaves. I don't know what. She invites her to the
tea party, so you think it's over there, but then they actually go
to the tea party, and uh, you know pretty good. You know,
Zia Lee is a little older and it's taken her a little longer to
get there, but man, is she not super talented? Uh? And
of course, uh, you know, Lyra is too, and she's an
up and coming star and she is the future. But it's one bad shut
your mouth. So in this little promo, you know, it wasn't bad,
but you know, Lyra did not take the tea that she was offered
and said that she would rather go on and Miss Lee says it I'm sorry
for I will not have any mercy on you. So yeah, they go
from there to a Trick and Mellow little spot, little promo, and you
know, Trick accidentally hit Mellow last week, so Mellow has been on the
they're building the angle. They are building the angle. Trick is now starting
to talk the talk and walk the walk and uh and shine a little bit
more and mellows kind of being a little more mathematical, a little more strategical.
So they're building the angle of Mellow and Trick. I don't know this
for sure, but that's what I'm predicting. Now. They're going to shake
hands and everything in Mellow lets him know that Hayna is matched tonight, that
he'll be out there. But it's it's all in your cadence, it's all
in how you talk. And they hear the music for the Guiless Boys,
and so that's the reason they break up the interview there and then and they
said, they do their little spot and they go to a commercial. Then
you've got Keana James kind of bragging, you know, in the ladies' locker
room in this Ariana Grace their their beauty pageant angle they're doing on that one,
which is not bad, and we'll see how this goes. But She's
gets up in there and gets mad at somebody, and Gig steps up and
says that pretty much she she kind of want to want a little piece of
the beauty queen. So it sets up a match, and and this promo
wasn't so bad, uh, But then you got Braun Braun Breaker on there
talking about whooping on Vaughn. Then out of nowhere you get die Jack and
ye Jack comes in and he keeps saying that he's the one guy that ain't
scared. He ain't scared, man, and Ron tells him that he better
be. He better go home some right and write this down somewhere, but
in that little bad spot on that one. But now they're getting ready for
the Iron Survivor Challenge match coming up here. But yeah, Ron name not
so bad. But you got Joe Coffee and going against Trick. Uh.
And you know, I really really really like the way that Trick and my
my three six Mafia, my Memphis guys have turned this around, because I
bet his shirts are selling. The crowd was just whooped that Trick. Whooped
that Trick. I mean, it was freaking great. You know. And
and even to start this, Joe Coffee and him of course are going back
and forth and the ring, and Joe is more experienced and well rounded,
and Trick is an up and comer. But Trick does the deal to where
he's bending over backwards getting overpowered, which is going to be a lot considering
Trick is somewhat staller and stronger. But he bends. He does a back
bend and then comes back from the back bend, a very veteran move.
So Trick has got certain certain offensive moves down. He's got some things down.
It's just his timing is just a little off. Joe Coffee had to
carry this on some aspects. But man Trick looked great man in his punches.
Ronnie Garvin s uh, you know, just just really just great puncher.
Uh. You know, I just I really liked Uh, Trick looked
really good. Uh. But you know, Coffee has definitely got the time
in the in the ring, you know, the ring veteran there. So
this match goes as you would think. It's back and forth and it's a
good match. Go back and check this out. Uh. But of course,
since mellow and you've got a wolf gang and and brother Coffee out there
on the outside. There's somebody that you know, Trick gets on the outside.
They kind of whoop on them a little bit. Uh, Trick whoops
back, and my little comes over, but he just kind of like,
hey, you guys, get back two on one. Though you know,
I will say he would have been going again, so maybe, but you
know, slowly building that angle, slowly building it, but it looks like
Joe Coffee's gonna win this. So it looks, you know, it's just
a way with the numbers. And oh wait a minute, Trick. Trick
goes on and and and and dare I say he whoops that trick? He
say, flying knee out of nowhere and wins the match. So it was
it was, you know, hey, go back and check this match out.
Trick is getting better and better and better. So the future is so
bright he may have to wear shades. But yeah, they do a little
a little promo with Wesley and dragging off, you know, after that,
and you know, dragging off is pretty much saying, you know, I
guess you're coming for the belt too, and this is like, you know,
I got some other stuff to do. So a good little spot there.
Let me. See, then we have Baron. Baron was real popular
tonight. But you got Baron and uh Lexus King, uh Brian Pillman's kid,
But you've got Lexus King starting well groomed, might I ask, or
might not add? But uh yeah, he comes out and they have a
good little spot, uh you know, And and I know, uh Pilman
looks smaller compared to Baron, but Barron is a big guy. I think
he's like six' five or something six maybe even taller than that. So
don't necessarily look at that spot there and think he's that smaller. Uh,
But then you're gonna have You're gonna have the brawling brutes. You got Rich
and Butch, and they're going against Bronco and Lucien, Lucien and Reggie or
what's the script or whatever you want to call them. But is Reggie creating
his own niche? Now? Is he gonna be a manager because he can
he can take a bud whooping, you know, and and he does a
flying kick when somebody's head's exposed on the outside in this match, that of
course looks good. He just can't carry a match. But with big with
these big o's, what do they call themselves out the mud. Otm uh
yeah, OTM, you ain't gotta do much on this deal. Uh with
these big old guys Division one, uh freaking athletes. But Rich and Butch
look good because richest monster anyway. But Butch was the closest version I've seen
to my in my younger days, we had a smaller guy that always went
went up against Lawler, and he went up against all the big guys.
But he made it look good. He made it look believable. He made
me think, man, this dude is that tough. And that was the
superstar Bill Dundee that's trying, not Eddie Graham and not you know, it
was the superstar Bill Dundee and many had some good matches and was a great
book or two in his later years. But yeah, Butch looked really really
good in this match. He made everything look good because he had to get
that aut but get that butt tore up because he is so much small.
Rich was smaller compared to these guys. And Rich is freaking you know.
I mean it's a thick uh you know, a cornbread fed young man.
You know. So anyway, the matches is a pretty good match, uh
you know, Reggie scripts whatever you want to call him. He does gets
involved, uh and uh and everything. But uh, yeah that you know
that the Brolin Brutes there, they made the Rooks look good. Uh,
you know that they did do that. So uh, let me see here,
what did we have? No, I guess I didn't even say that
the Brawlin Brutes won. Uh. But then yeah, they go to Joe
Casey and he's he's on a if if he's way I think he is.
He's on a rooftop and the beach is kind of on one side of him,
and the wind's going. But he's giving, you know, given his
Joe Gacy speech, which is not bad, you know, or nothing's bad
there. He gives this little spot and then he pretty much throws the camera
off the roof. So I'm guessing that did the whole thing up until the
last end with one camera and then did the other. But yeah, a
good little spot with him. And then you're gonna have a gg Dolan going
against Arianna Grace and h and not really sure in this match who's carrying this
match? You know, it's just a little lied. Now I've been fortunate
enough to seeing you know, a married couple that had a ring in their
house. Train and to be a good ladies wrestler, I think you have
to train with men. So when you get to where you can move them,
then you can move most of the ladies your size with ease. But
you have to be as a guy. You have to be a good enough
wrestler to work with you work with these ladies and and go with everything.
So in other words, you gotta be good on both sides. And and
GG and Ariana here in this match. It's not a bad match. And
they both look pretty good. Gg's been getting better and better, and Arianna
is coming on. Looks like she's been definitely doing her cardio uh and everything,
and look and gg's gonna win this match, but not a bad match.
GG is getting better and better. And and if you're gonna be a
beauty pageant person, is that's that's gonna be your your stick, your goods,
your your amo, your your gig. Then you got to pull it
off. And I think she's done it so far. So we'll see how
this goes. We will see how this goes. Let me see here,
we got a little promo with von Wagner and mister Stone and it this is
a recap in itself. It might as well have that song from the seventies
Memories playing in the background. But uh, it just goes over there how
they met, how they both started at the same time, and apparently mister
Stone figured out that there's a gravy train over there. But anyway, yeah,
it goes through their life and everything, and how von Wagner had to
deal with the bullies and stuff. Uh, you know Braun, you know
the Braun recap and and and you know, on this little spot they kind
of say, hey, you know, look, we lost the match,
but did we win the war because he did put Braun through the table or
through the desk there. So and then mister Stone, of course, you
know with them, I'm guessing his Italian background, invites him over and says
he's going to call the wife and tell her, you know how, you're
coming for dinner. So bam bam, thank you man on that one.
All right. From there, we've got Eddie Thorpe recovering from his matches with
Die Jack and saying he's pretty much he's back and he's ready to go.
Then you got Golc and Dempsey and you know that other dude born, you
know, and they come out, get into a little uh something and get
a little talking and uh, next thing, you know, we got a
match, so uh yeah, let me see we go from there. We've
got Andre Chase trying to leave the arena and the press is just bombarding him
and uh so what what who saves him? Who is his night and shining
Armor? Well it's J. C. Jane rolling up and telling him to
get in full so uh yeah, uh they do that little spot. Uh
and of course they do their promo for Deadline uh coming up and uh,
you know they've had all the other guys. JB. L will be the
next veteran. That's that's uh, you know, doing the picks for the
Iron Survivor Challenge and uh and of course my man Jerry Lawler, Jerry the
King Lawler, will be doing it after that. But then you're gonna have
the main event, which is Wes Lee versus Baron Corbin. And this is
a you know, a pretty dog gone good match. Wes Lee coming back
a little revigorated and you know, walking the ropes before the match and getting
the crowd fired up. And Baron, of course is Baron like he is
every week he's you know, as steady as they go, good performer,
good on the stick. So yeah, this match is actually a pretty freaking
good match. I don't think I had to write yeah I did, right,
I mean, because you've got the size difference. Of course, Baron
is definitely taller and stronger and and and in the match, you're gonna have
Wes uh definitely take the grunt of most things. Uh. So you know,
the match goes typically the way you would think that it would. But
then Wes Lane pulls a little rabbit out of his hat and starts, you
know, laying some timber down, putting a little thump thump upside Baron's head.
And so we have the first well, the appearance of Dominic Mysterio coming
out and trying to get involved. And he gets involved, takes a couple
of five knuckle a knuckle shuffle upside the head and and and you know,
but it's gonna end up with Baron winning this match. Uh, but you're
gonna have Dragon off, He's gonna get involved, He's going to come out
and uh and then Baron, hey, Baron puts a little thump thump upside
his head, you know, gives him a little gravy with that Salisbury steak
and and Dragon off gets the stick and he let's let's bearon know at the
end of the show that hey, you may have woke up the giant or
in his case, and the dragon uh and he is going to be ready
for him at deadline. So hey, you know, pretty good show overall
good. I would say, a strong B show, a go back and
watch show if you got the time, you know, and just you know,
very good. So and from what it looks like our guys that have
gone over to the ane roster and look at all the people with Survivor,
you know, with you know everything coming up. What is it the not
the elimination chamber, but any of the big premium event that they have coming
up. You've got Grace and Waller involved, You've got Storm involved, You've
got all these guys from n x T coming in making an impact. So
really really happy about that. But all right, guys, I guess that's
gonna do it for me this week. Really really appreciate y'all taking the time
out to just give us a listen, you know on Twitter, Memphis,
mark O g on Twitter, So definitely give me a holler. Uh and
and thank you everyone for listening. And of course, as always, if
you can help, you know, rescuing animal, or help a shelter out
or maybe make a donation, anything you can do is greatly appreciated in all
the shelters and rescues around the country. And of course spay and neuter.
Uh So, guys, this is gonna end it for me. So this
is Memphis, Mark and uh, you know what, tell you what,
