Welcome to the NXT podcast, your home for weekly NXT reviews and insights.
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 ye we
thought? So let's get the show started right now. Hello everyone, this
is Memphis Mark coming to you from Mullet Manner, and we're gonna do a
combined effort tonight. We're gonna combine a little vengeance Day with the NXT review
for two Sicks and in show tonight. Actually, the show was probably one
of the better ones as far as the the performers, in ring ability tonight,
as far as the strikes, the punches, the kicks. Seems like
tonight everybody got it right. A very very few complaints, that's for sure.
But let's get started from the start of the show at NXT, and
that's with Byron Saxton returning. I mean, I did not see that one
coming, but I guess with some injuries and some other things going on here,
you know, it's the start of you know, mister Saxton's return,
and and they go from there into Mellow showing up is his kind of is
true. Heel debut, he comes in with a chair and the crowd,
the crowd verbally assaulted mellow Heim. They were doing the let's just say F
and then they were using a U and yeah, and they were doing not
yet and yeah, they verbally assaulted him mellow tonight. But they go in
from there because he comes out and he was like, Nope, not yet,
y'all not ready for my explanation of what happened. So he gets up
and he takes his chair and he leaves and they go in to a Vengeance
Day recap. And so what I decided to do was just to do my
recap then, because you had the Dusty Rhodes Cup Finals to start that off,
and that was a Wolf Dolls bron and Baron against Trick and mellow and
Bronan and barn They didn't show that on the on the recap, but they
came out on both custom choppers, very very cool and yeah, so a
little bit later on it would be kind of matched. But you know,
I really liked I got to say there was like Trick got a busted mouth
and this thing bron was running so fast. Later he quoted himself at like
twenty three miles an hour. But he misses a move because he's he's not
the tallest, he's just so he fits the mold so well that you just
don't see it until you see him standing next to somebody. But he missed
and the top rope but knocked his you know, knocked him in the next
week, but he recovered. And uh and even Baron in this match did
his first over the top rope dive and he did it better than uh another
guy that didn't make it over the rope. But uh, you know it
could have been bad. Uh you know, but uh in the end,
Mellow takes a spear for trick and Braun and uh Baron win the Dusty Cup.
And then you had Died Jack and Joe Gacy, you know, Died
Jack came out with a knight stick and uh and already but uh, you
know, Gasey was ready. He had duct tape a baton. Uh will
when the night stick was presented, that's when the baton collapsible baton came in.
But Gasey threw all the stuff in there, and uh it was a
good match. Uh, you know, Died Jack wins it and in with
the night stick. But although Casey did get to wear him out with the
kindos sticking there, it's pretty dog gone good wearing out. But Dave Jack
ends up winning that one. Let me see, Uh OTM against Tony d
and Stacks. Uh, you know, Tony Di and Stax win, but
OTM they came out with on like some chopper bikes, like low Ride of
California style, so kind of cool too the way they did that. So
but uh and then let me see, they had rock Sand and Lyra for
the title. Uh. And in this Lyra wore a head piece and like
purple feathers and the feathers were all over the place. But Lola Ice comes
in and and inserts her breakout contract and makes it a three way which pretty
much screws it up and allows Lyra to win, which exil Roxanne. So
uh yeah, so that's his upcoming match here in a little while. Uh
Dragon Lee against Oba Vinnie. Uh. Dragon Lee come out fast and Oba
needs some needs some work, but so much bigger, so much stronger,
and dragonly sold great but the power bomb lends it and then Riley and Alexis
can get in it because uh, you've got the girls selling their calendar and
uh, it's doing really good. So that in like thirty minutes, I
heard Wade Berry but a palette tonight. But any way, they get into
a fight because he's defending thea's an ava promo seems fake. All right,
don't be blaming and Axam are going to be this week. Uh. Then
they show Rock saying and Lola fighting out of there, and then you got
the dragon Off Dragon Trick with Mellow match and dragon Off is talking crap,
I'll turn this match, and Trick's got a bloody mouth, and man,
hey, you know, Trick at one time gets slammed to the floor.
I mean, dragon Off does like two or three h bombs in a row.
But when it's all over, Mellow gets involved, as you'll see on
the highlights, I'm sure you sing, and uh, yeah, the big
turn happens, the big turn, So that is the uh and the crowd
did go out with using that same if you comment, But there we go,
there we go. But then we've got Baron and Brown the wolf Dogs.
Well they're here for their party because they're turning them. They're turning them
stone cold. Steve Austin kind of you know they're they're bad guys, but
they're good, uh, And so yeah, they're up there talking. You
know, Baron brings up le Bron screw up and then Bron brings up his
jumping over the ring and you know, and they call out Tony d and
Stacks. So you're expecting Tony Dan Stacks to come out, but no,
it's Axiom and Nathan Fraser. They come out to start their match. Little
uh disrespect there, but uh yeah they're fighting Blade and Offie and this match
now the Wolf Gold and they go over to the desk, go over and
do some commentating and everything. But man, the Fraser and Axiom and Blade
and Offie, you know what you're gonna get out of these guys both well,
Knafie and Blade are really more of the high flyers in this particular match.
But you're gonna have the ground and pound, you're gonna have all the
counter moves, You're gonna have everything in this match, and you do get
it. And even during picture and picture, which is usually when they're walking
around talking and squawking, well they were actually throwing down. So I mean,
really really good match. I mean, I gotta say, their punches
around their timing was good. I'm usually not a and let's face it,
an Alfhie and Blade have a chance for some main event time, but you
know, because of the size and everything else. I mean, let's face
it, Nathan and and Actual could make a great living in the mid card,
but that's where they're gonna be on the main roster. But man,
this was it was really really uh surprisingly good. I mean just the like
I said, the timing is a big deal with me, but in this
match they were They were really good. This is an a match. And
then after they win, well I mean, uh, you know, Fraser
and acts him to win up winning, but afterwards, afterwards Braun and Baron
jump in clear the ring out and show that they're the wolf dog you know,
good match, but they do call out because Tony dan Stacks do come
out after they clear the ring and they're hollering for a match, and later
Evil she she grants the match. So yeah, uh, and then you've
got the dragging off. Uh. He comes out and he gives Flowers to
trick proper flowers, but then he calls out Mellow and he lets him know
that if he doesn't come out, he's coming for him. Well, then
of course the music starts in. Here comes oh not him, but die
Jack, and die Jack comes out. Now. I have not been the
biggest dye Jack fan, all right, I admit to that. But when
died Jack and uh dragon Off get face to face, now, dragging Off
supposed draggon Off supposedly has a broken nose. And I don't know if any
of y'all have ever experienced a broken nose. Unfortunately at least four to five
times with me. I'll have to, you know, check my records.
But been broke. Uh and uh, I've had to work, right,
I've had to go right back to work after getting the broken nose. So
not a great thing, okay. And the fact that he's in the ring,
even if his nose is a little jacked up, it's gonna it hurts,
man, it hurts. Can't breathe right, your eyes water quick?
But bra I mean, uh, die Jack delivers the best punch I've ever
seen him throw in as far as the camera angle and the impact and what
it's what it showed, died Jack's punch might be the best one of the
year I've seen so far. He hits now, he hits him in the
forehead. Now, die Jack's got a little spot in his forehead, so
they're gonna bust it on open because I know the blood's gonna come anyway.
But died Jack hits him perfect and uh dragonof plays it to the nose,
great shot. He hits him again in the clints when all the security gets
out there. But that first punch best punch I've ever seen, uh died
Jack throw and and uh dragon off that sold it perfect. It's just got
a little blood, got a little blood. And this is another thing since
the new company's taken over, are they going allow a little blood. We'll
just have to wait and see. But they do a little spot with Jacy,
Jane and THEA and you know how they sold out the calendars and Jacy's
dropping advice. It's Jac's advice line, that's right, and she tells THEA
to play hard to get but is she working at Angle? And they got
von Wagner and mister Stone. They got their kids out there. They're all
happy, but they challenge No m and Mensa to a tag team. The
kids. The kids get them into it. The kids. It's a kid's
fault. But from there they go to Lexus King that's right, uhs Riley
Osborne of chase U and uh yeah, I gotta say in this one man,
uh Lexus King. It might be the most old school guy in certain
times. Man he I liked his moves. I like what he's developing.
He's getting better and better, folks. But mister Osborne did do a chop
us that I have to say was one of the best ones of the night.
So the match is good. But of course Riley's distracted that THEE is
not there because she's playing hard to get in as n x T turns turning
next week for the next week's episode. But yeah, a good match.
Alexis King wins because Riley is uh is uh hunting? Uh he got Miss
Jordan a little promo with her and uh yeah, you got count of James
And is he uh down there intimidating the old workout girl, the old uh
you know hype up. Uh yeah. So they poor or drink in the
trash. You gotta do something about that, don't you. Mellow comes out
with his chair and sits down in the ring. Now the crowd's going after
him. And the one thing that really showed up to me is, man,
that guy's got a great hairline. That guy's got a great hairline.
Now it's not like my hairline's gone. But Game represents game, you know,
or recognizes game and a good hairline. But uh yeah, he uh
he really he does a good promo. He does a good promo. He
really at times has the crowd so uh so wound up. They're kind of
kind of eating out of his hands. Uh you know he uh of course
they have to to uh mute out a little of the crowd, but uh
yeah, uh he wants to let everybody know his side. And uh you
know that that trick should not be biting the hand, and that trick went
after the wrong belt. Yeah, and that trick's not on the same level.
That's uh that's why I did it. You know, that's a but
he says he's laid up in the hospital right now with with Booker T because
he brings cuts on his music like he's going to come out and the crowds
I whooped it. And uh of course he gets up and dances a little
bit, and uh it's the ultimate tease. He gets the crowd with that.
But uh yeah, he told him pretty much, Uh, trick,
Uh, you're just a trick. That's what he said. He was just
a hype man, but pretty dog gone good promo. I mean the show
up to now it's just freaking good. Uh you know, you know what
I'll tell you, you know, Uh, I mean I'd go back and
watch I would. And then the next the next match is uh, Lolavice
against Roxanne because Roxanne is mad and she's the prodigy. Uh but she Lola
comes out with some good karate moves. But but Roxanne is mad. Uh
and she comes on and uh Lola Ice does to get to put butt to
face and everything. But man, Roxanne threw some good punches. And I
don't know if the camera angles were just better than I but man, everybody
was laying solid punches. Now, Lola did have to wait a couple of
times to where like she's got to act more stunned to give the the you
know, Roxanne time to climb to the top rope or do her gets set
up for her move. But other than that, good match. But you
got Tatum Pasley coming in and she's got the breakout tournament foe her like she's
trying to trying to turn it in. Lola puts a big old kick upside
her head and uh yeah rocks and uh pop pul rocks and uh yeah,
she wins. All right, so let me see after that, you got
a little promo with a metaphor and uh they accept Von Wagner and mister Stone,
but uh then uh damon Kempenden boys they come out and uh a little
stir, little stir calls there, a little stir. But then you got
Valin and uh Wrenn Saint Clair against Lash and Jacara Jackson, Miss Jackson.
But man, Valin gets caught up in the bron ropes and it's gonna cause
him to win this match. But the match is not bad. I'm saying
it. This is a good show. This is a really good show.
Now I didn't particularly like the great ending on this, but Lash gets a
big choke slam and uh bam they win. She pins uh Miss Saint Clare
and at the end, Saint Clair's going, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
man, I was I ain't you daven for uh but uh man, uh,
I don't know if Lash just hadn't had enough time in the ring or
what's up with her, but they need to be showcasing her a little bit
more. But uh, just my opinion. And then uh, you got
Briggs and Jensen out there, and uh, well it was a little tough
love tonight, a little shoving, a little say don't be crying, don't
be whining. Uh you know, but I like it's like two brothers,
you know kind of Hey, quit quite all the whining. You know.
There again another another good promo. Uh. And then you got you got
Ava Yeah okay, uh she does a spot and uh yeah, maybe he
does a spot. All right. Then you've got dragon Off dragging off against
die Jack and after that best punch, you know he's gonna go after that
same thing. And this is another good match. The punches look great.
Uh the you know both guys are doing. Man, I just got to
say it's a dog com good match. You know that there was a time
that man, Uh, I mean, look like let me see. Uh
uh, let's see. We got dragon Off drugging off. I do not
understand the chop. He does a bunch of chops on die Jack and one
was to the leg. Didn't understand that one, and uh, his forehead,
man, his forehead was jacked. And he did do a deep squat
to pick up died Jack, which is man looks but died Jack springboarding over
the top rope. I mean, of course he's going after his nose and
everything. But then you got gey and Gaysy's under the ring. Now Gaysey
reaches out. He just reaches out in touch somebodied his hand, but he
reached out and kind of Dijac didn't know what was going on. So the
match continues, and then eventually died Jack ends up over the side of the
rope or or up under the bottom rope, pulls up on the apron a
little bit to let him know exactly where's at and uh, on gleasy,
on gleasy. He comes out with a stick with a boxing glove on the
end and uh he comically hits uh died Jack, and died Jack falls back,
which he falls into dragging Off's web and az, I are he uh
he uh, he takes care of it. He takes care of it.
So there you go, folks. That's pretty much how it ends there.
You know, the dragon Off it comes out with another great win, and
so it's all over. But oh maybe it isn't. Mellow jumps in there
and does the same little clip block there to uh to whoop that trick.
He does it to dragon Off, takes the dragon Off down, dragging off
his foot. This is the wisht But dragon Off is down and uh yeah,
so mellow uh lets him know. Uh he gets back up and U
hits him with his belt, so uh yeah, we know where his mind
is. And uh but what's gonna happen when Trick comes back? What's gonna
happen when Booker t comes back? Well, folks, next week you'll just
have to turn in and find out. But uh yeah, good show to
not you know, a solid, solid show. Go back and watch this,
folks, go back and watch it. It's worth your time. And
are they bringing blood back? Is blood the new thing in twenty four?
What changes away? As folks, Well, that's what this wacky world will
just show us the rest of the year. Guys, this is Memphis Mark,
