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. Ah we thought,
so let's get the show started right now. All right, this is
Memphis Mart coming to you from Mullet Manor and happy hello Wayne, folks.
We're gonna hear for the phase two of Halloween Havoc on NXT one. We're
gonna give you a little review of what happened tonight. Now, the host
arrive in a yeah, are they arriving? The Ghostbusters, you know,
a replica of the Ghostbusters of Station Wagon, Hurst Ambulance, whatever you may
call it, and then they are brought into the show with another rendition from
New Year's Day. It's called Hurt Hurts Like Hell and it's a freaking great
show, just a great start. And just man, this band is freaking
made for TV and video and it's just they are. They're good a musician
wise and presentation wise. They were given nowhere to perform in a rampway and
these guys kick freaking butt. So uh yes, a big uh kudos to
New Year's Day. And then of course they do the recap uh for last
week of the first version of Halloween Havoc and uh and they're gonna they're gonna
bring the Creed Brothers out to start it. And man, did the Creed
Brothers have a debut on raw this past week. I mean going against the
only people, well the only person that I could uh uh put them against,
an Olympic gold winner. I mean, you know, to have them
go against they are collegiate in their era, but when you are Kalete,
you're just so badass. You're you know, it's just to be on an
Olympic level, you are just the baddest of the bad and to be on
Division one you're one of the baddest people walking around, so you know,
yeah, you know. Anyway, they go into the Creed Brothers with Angel
Garcia and hermbuntor Corrillo in a tables, ladders and scars match. Yeah,
okay, it's not a table ladder and uh chairs match. It's a table
ladders and scare match anyway, all right, So look that got to say
they started off with a freaking I think it was Julius doing a fireman's carry
on both of the of the brothers through a table. I mean it's it's
uh wow and uh in the way Angel and Humbuntal used freaking chairs, this
was on look, they used chairs the way legally nowadays you can use chairs,
and they pushed it to the limit. I mean, they beat the
daylights out of Julia's I mean, you know it was I loved it,
you know, but you had the Kree brothers making their first appearance on raw
and getting a win, and getting a win, so you can't have them
lay down, But you can't have who was carrying on the torch to look
bad either, And they did not. They did not, you know,
even in picture in picture in this match they beat the daylight. Well I'm
berthrowing and Angel beat the daylights out of the creeds and picture and picture,
and I normally don't watch that stuff, but and this one I'm glad I
did. Man, And like you had Brutus doing his cesorrows spin with the
ladder, which I hate because hey, there's a big ladder spinning running ring
duck Okay, But other than that, I mean, it wasn't so comical
now you did before that, you did have a I think it was from
Bertol that threw a chair to Julius and then Angel was able to come off
the top rope with a big Eddie Guerrero type hit to the kick to the
face with the chair. I mean, it was freaking good man, except
for this. Fuck the freaking the table, I mean the ladder. I
just did not like that. I did not like that, but freaking you
know, that's what we have to deal with sometimes in this But the match
is a good, good match. You need to go back and check this
out. The Creeds win this match because they're getting the big push. They're
getting a big push, isn't it. And you know they went it with
the big brutush ball. I think they call it off the top rope when
he does it, and I know particularly like that. But they wanted a
wrong and they want it tonight on NXT, so you know, I mean,
two nights in a row. You gotta say what you got to say.
You go with what brought you there. But men, I liked it.
The whole thing was good. But then you've got the host you know
that arrived in the with the Ghostbusters ambulence there. Now they're doing a weedy
board and they keep running that weedy board around and what comes up at out
of fire and all of dawn. So they ask if they can take over
the show, and the ladies do it, so we'll see how this goes
from here. But they go to Little Tiffany, a little tiff and she's
asked about Valin Henry doing an exact copy of her, and yeah, Tiffany
blows her lid and goes on. But it was a good copy because I
had to look back and Sue did it, so it was pretty freaking good.
The makeup crew and everybody involved with WWE did a fantastic job. And
then you go to a dark side. You go to Joe Gasey, no
skim, no nothing. It's just him talking about what has gone in the
past, and he keeps saying that, hey, I made some mistakes.
I'm only human. Where they leading with this kind of like it Gasey the
renegade, you know, the you know, there's a lot of ways they
can go with that. So I'm really good with that. Uh you know
some me see. So we go from Gaysey to drunking off. Dragging off
is getting ready, and they show a little workout spot, a little promo
of him, but the man is tearing it up with the jump ropes,
and uh, you know, I always wished I could do that. You
know, I could jump a rope, but that means that people have to
sing. And I could do it, I could never do it in the
level and the speed that he ever did it, even in my best day.
So dragging off of rope jumping rocky enough. But you're going to have
Tiffany Stratten against a Valen Henry. Uh. And so the match coming up
and hey, Valain runs out, jumps on Tiffany, tries to get the
advantage, but it seems like Tiftiff gets the top of her, ends up
wrapping her legs around the turn buckle and does the lag lock, the four
whatever whichever move you want to call it on that. It's not a figure
four, it's not whatever whatever. She puts the leg move on her while
she's on the turm buckle, and of course they can't fight the fight,
so they must because it's Halloween, folks, they must go to a comical
version. And that goes into metaphor and metaphors trying to find too shall we
to shall we? Or to show you too? Shall we to show any
He's Jews trying to find the gentleman that stole his cup, and so metaphor
ends up dressing up. Could we be a little more exact about this?
They dress up like Scooby Doo in the crew. Yeah, that's right,
you got Jordan, you got Mensa, you got lash legend and x NBA
w NBA tell it anyway. They're going to help no imdoor go to look
for his missing cup. And in the first version, a version of this
is with them dressed up like Scooby Doo, where are you? The whole
crew they get together and they realize and they got to look through this haunted
mansion and they present a photographical kind of cool little spot. You know,
you know that the production and everything like that's going to be top notch because
it's WWE, and they try really hard and in this instant it's not funny
funny, like terrible funny. It's just the way it is. But you
got let me see, you got Jordan. She's never gonna make it on
scary movie, but still did good. You had Mensa and Mensa did a
good little spot. And then you had Lash and Lash legend she could make
it in the big movies. I mean, she could make it. You
know, I got faith in her. So out of the out of that
group, I would have to put Lash as the most obvious to possibly do
that. But anyway, they're gonna go. They're gonna go now to a
North American title spot for with with Nathan Fraser and Dominant Mysterio with Aria Mummy
with him and this match, I mean, dom comes out and he's being
led out. He's being led out with chains and Mummy is the the guard
I guess or Havery, and she unlocks it and lets the the criminal go
and Dominic Mystereo. But anyway, he's going up against Nathan Fraser and Nathan
Fraser as fast as fast can be. And you know, I'm not sure
why they didn't give him more of a pushing this, but I'm hoping down
the road I figure it out. But this match goes back and forth,
back and forth, and then Nathan does a little sit down in the middle
of the ring when they can't seem to get together a little you know,
a little house of black, little mister Black there alistair Black just sitting there
and telling you to come on, but you know, he jumps in there
and the whole thing comes down to right towards the end of the offensive moves,
Dominic goes and does a drop kick to the back of the head.
It's obvious it doesn't connect, but they both played off really good. Ends
up a dom or you know, I'm sorry, Nathan gets kicked off,
goes over hits, then of the top rope gets the gonad job, ends
up on the desk. A couple of little things like that, and then
the next thing, Yeah, no, Dominy gets the frog splash in a
wind. Okay, you know, I you know it is what it is
whatever, But at least we get maybe a little comical relief, maybe because
Wesley comes in and jumps dom does a couple of little moves there and uh
bam, it's Halloween. It's Halloween. What are you supposed to do?
Uh? So you've got You've got Jacy, Jane and uh and and Andre
Chase kind of discussing doing a little promo and then Jacy's letting him know the
hey, you should thank me, and then Andre's going, you shouldn't try
to cheat. So you know where they're going with that. U. Well,
you got Tony Di in Stack, so that shows up and and and
they're they're kind of given an underlying thing something with Andre, so we'll see
where that goes. But the rematch is coming up, so uh but yeah,
you've got the new host now coming up. That's Alba Fire and Ala
down uh and uh. Yeah, they're wanting to wanting to create their own
part of this, so we got more of metaphor. They're going to this
scary movie trial. No, I mean they're going to try to look for
the cup in a haunted house. And you know, I can only talk
so much, but it just gets to some point it's just ridiculous. But
you the guy's getting knocked out. This is a scene where, let me
see, I think it's a missus Jordan to get scared off first, and
then then it's Mensa stands up and he gets run off, and then Lash
legend towards the end there. But come on, you gotta tell me out
of that whole group and including nomandor I gotta put my money on Lash legend,
is it true? But anyway, okay, so they go into a
recap with von Wagner and Braun and of course This is leading up to the
mister Stone Braun match. You know, we we know this is going to
be somewhat of a squash match, but hey, they bring it out,
Uh Bron smiling, and yeah, they start to match out. Mister Stone
gets a couple little moves maybe you know, and then Bron tears the shirt
off and starts to beat the crap out of him. And then uh,
yeah, mister Stone gets a couple he gets a slap in there, and
uh so yeah, until Braun spears him. And that's the into that.
But before that, now, mister Stone did get a pen attempt, and
it did not look totally manufactured. I could see it so happened to happen,
if that makes sense. I could see that it just a matter of
fact that things happened, that he got a chance. But anyway, the
spear happens, he gets the wind, I don't know, He's got to
now do the same chair treatment that he did to von Wagner, and so
he sets him up. But out of nowhere we get the we get the
big Von Wagner shows up with his head wrapped, choke slams Brawn on the
freaking st runs everybody out of there, so we know we have a match
upcoming. And then yeah, they do the Lyra Becky the Man promo and
yeah she's kind of passing the torch, you know. And and they're talking
about in Ireland. You know, this is a big gig there, you
know, to Ireland born ladies fighting for the championship. I mean it's a
good promo tour and everything. So a good spot. But yeah, that
e Lyra will be back next week in NXT and we will see. But
here we go, here we go back to comical. Well I shouldn't say
comical. Let's see where they go from here. Okay, we got Reggie
scripts and he's got Bronco and Luca there. And okay, now Reggie is
now he's not a a apron puller, he's not a gymnast. He's not
a just some strange guy that just pops out. Now he's the manager of
some street thugs and he wants street cred of out of the mud OTM,
you know. And I mean I got you Bronco and Luca. I mean
they are they look like some freaking monsters. They can definitely look like they
can be promoted and everything can be good in their future Reggie, Reggie the
guy that flips around. Okay, you're gonna have them flipping the matches and
do weird things and well, I don't know, please please, let's try
to do this for Bronco and Lucha. Let's try to make this not so
bad and not about Scrips or Reggie or whatever the heck you're gonna call him.
Okay, all right, So now we got Jacy Jane and THEA with
Duke and Andre Chase of Chase, h you going against Chelsea Green and Piper
nibbing. And you know, I got to say they, you know,
Jays and THEA. They kind of jump them out of the start and put
Piper into the steps, which she is a true badass. She can move
around that ring and do everything and probably helping I mean, I'm guessing with
Chelsea, but I'm guessing guiding her along in this because Chelsea has started looking
better and better since she's been with Piper. So we'll see how that goes.
And then Booker Booker t he has to say that he thinks THEA is
going to be the rookie of the word. And then right after that,
j C. Jamee's going to a commercial break and she drops the first course
word. Well, not really that bad. She uses a B word,
so I guess not too bad. And at this point in the night I
realized I'll sit and changed everything to watch NXT in the front part of my
property so I could see people coming down the driveway if they were, I
got my lights on if they were to want, uh you know, candy
for trick or treating. So I tried to open up mullet manner somewhat.
But I don't know, Mullet manner may may not look that inviting. I
don't know. We will just have to see. We'll go back to the
match now. It's just at that point in time and time i'd realized I'd
been watching for a while. I came all the way up to the front
part of the house just to watch this show so I could like to look
out the window. And I didn't say anybody. I saw a cop go
by. That was it. But anyway, it looks like at one point
time in this match I wrote out some cool notes about this one. It
was, uh, you know, Piper used what was kind of like the
Cobra clutch, her version of the Choco, but they didn't call it the
copper clutch. Uh. They did bring up Papa shunga reference, so hmm,
and uh, let me see here, Chelsea becoming a miss type possibly
slowly learning air craft. And if she's good on the mic, she could
be that a person that just gets by but is good in every area and
they can promote her and send her out to schools. I don't know,
but anyway, Jacy goes for the belt, andre Chase says, hey,
you don't need it and causes her to lose the match. Well, the
delay causes her to lose a match, and then they go from there the
will spinning. You expect something, but no, it's like sus King in
this first interview and he keeps saying my life and drops a hint that yeah,
you know, you know, possibly that he has something that he has
done already. And I asked the interviewer if she wants some candy, but
it's odd looking candy, so we're not sure if we want candy. So
we go from there and then bam, let's see we're on the last We
go to the breakout tournament final and you've got Keana Jordan going against Lolavice and
you've got pretty much a good gymnast that's learning the business against an that's trying
to not whoop people, trying to make things right. But look, Keana
Jordan's Miss Jordan has really come on. Really surprised me. It has quick.
She's of course very good. When she can grab hold of the rope
and do some moves and do that stuff, she's really good. But she
has come on from there. And Miss Lolavice, I'm a fan of hers.
She her educated feet, her she can get her butt whooped in and
come out of nowhere with a kick, and man, I just love it.
You know Lola's feet in between. Well, I tell you this,
They got to make both participants look good. So Elektra Lopez is out there
with Lola Ice and she jumps up and makes a little distraction and that causes
Miss Jordan to pay attention to her, which causes Miss Weiss Lola Ice to
get the win with an educated kick and she gets the contract. But I
really like it. Good match. Uh it's back there with the Creeds and
and and uh and the Garza and Herberto. Man that was a great match
too, So uh, let's see we go from that. We got metaphor
in the last uh version of their Hunted House. But to Takshajasha, Uh
just wants a match, and that's what this all goes to. So uh
yeah, that's where that it's going. Mellow has a promo he wants,
he wants to do a good thing, but juice. He comes out in
a juice a Justice for Juice. I'm sorry, he comes out in a
Justice for Trick shirt. So Mellow does so kind of kind of different and
then yeah, so you got let me see we go from there. We
got Vaughn and let's see how this goes. Yeah, Vaughn and mister Stone
want to match, so yeah, they're creating that for the upcoming week.
But it's the main thing coming up that is Mellow because he don't miss he
uh but Melow going against Drugging Off and uh yeah uh it's for the championship
and dragging Off has got the European Rick Flairlok going and uh man, this
whole match is good. Is good. I still put the Creed Brothers match
up above this. But man, when you get dragging Off in any situation,
he's going to produce. He just has that kind of that that I
don't know but Mellow was getting there. Mellow was getting there. It's just
that he doesn't look as good taking a butt whooping as uh Dragonoff does,
and dragging Off makes you feel like he's pulling himself out of the freaking trenches,
and he's getting himself out of you know where. Mellow seems like,
Okay, now here's my chance, here I go whatever. But Mellow,
I mean, I mean, dragging Off just always seems like like pulling me
soup out of the mud. I don't know it, just personally me.
But yeah, trick is gonna come out, and they are now are promoting
Whoop that trick, So you know what that means. I need to holler
Halla Halla at my guys down here in Memphis three six Mafia because I know
they got a little cut out of that. I don't know what they're overall
contract with since I have a prior contract, I have no idea, but
definitely definitely gonna be checking with everybody, especially coming close to Thanksgiving. Might
be able to run by somebody's grandmama's house a song song and see what I
can try to find out. But I will definitely let you know given permission.
I never speak without giving permission. But anyway, so that's how the
show goes this week, guys. But look, I really appreciate everything you
guys. I appreciate you listening every week. I've had five or six weeks
really bad health. This is my first week back to where I feel eighty
five percent. So bam waiting to come at you at one hundred percent.
But anyway, guys, I'm gonna let you go on this spaying newter always
help them rescues out and I'm gonna throw a new one out there. You
know, guys, there are neurology a different type of conditions that help or
help and hurt people. I want to throw this out there. I've never
said it before, but I support everything in Parkinson's research. This is the
first time I'm going to say this out there. But please, if you
have a chance, find the National Organization with Parksisan's and also the Michael J.
Fox Foundation. I recommend both. I just wanted to say that,
just my personal opinion, but all of you, guys, you rock.
