Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! Woo! Surprise alert! There's a bit of good wrestling in NXT this week. All right, I'm being a bit commodually because often there is good wrestling in NXT. It's just usually bashed about a bit and run over by some of the ridiculous angles involved. That's...
almost the case this week but one of the good matches is the main event which is Andrei Chase versus Rich Holland who's not really working out for me as a number one heel Ethan Page nowhere to be seen this week again looks like he's being given a bit of time off or I'm not sure if Creative have anything for him but
he has nowhere to be seen at all. Now, they're going to have a match for them who I could tend to ship, but on a chase who people are constantly saying, Vic in fact and Booker. Vic more than Booker actually, are constantly saying, or is constantly saying, well, he's so smart, he's got a university, right, if you were so smart, then you wouldn't have blurred her now and put the university on the line.
Don't do that, you don't need to. It's for another one, Contendership. It's already been made, the match's already been made by Ava because you fought before with an ambulance. An ambulance match, it's pretty good. And so, we're already gonna have a number one Contendership. It's like someone saying, well, there you go. You can have my last doughnut. Thank you very much. There you go, I'm giving you the last doughnut. I'll give you 100 pounds!
He was already giving you his last go-not. There is no reason to offer it. That's not smart and Andre, it's not smart. Andrew Chase, Andre Chase, it's not smart and also not smart is bargaining away or rather a gambling away. Chase you and they'll have him to be pulled out the fire
By JCJ doing a calendar, it seems some kind of naughty calendar that we never want to see. Not that I wanted to, but you know, that's the story line. So you can't just say, you've got a naughty calendar. It's over there in a load of boxes. Oh, right. Well, what's in it? Never mind what? Never mind that. Just let me say, we've saved the university. Basically, it's not really good governance.
to say, well, I've gambled away the university, is he? Not great. So all that, he's got a big break in Andre Chase. Not really.
But he's got SPONK, I'll give him that! He's got that, and he'll show some of that. We're not literally, that'll be awful. But he'll show some of that guts and determination later on. Now, before I get into this, before I get into NXT this week, the system swiss-rounding reviews. And I am going to be doing this review for huge pop. Oh marvellous, oh marvellous, huge pop. So do have a listen and see what you think.
A lot of this will be about the iron qualifier. Is it called the iron survivor? Is it called the iron survivor? I think I've got the hang of this now. The iron survivor qualified match. So first, any thought who's talked for ages with Ava about? Hello the match. Please say hello the match. Hello the match.
Yes, yes, you can earn a match. I'll give you a thousand dollars. See, even he's got an Andre Chase thing going on. Anyway, he gets too far to fight Nathan Fraser's ear. Who's really doesn't need this because he's already tag team champ, but he can't let it lie. You wouldn't let it lie. I will rush it lie. You wouldn't let it lie. That's a UK gag for a certain age of person. I mean, quite limited, but I thought I wanted to do it.
Anyway, and it is my podcast, so there you go. And it's talking to Axiom before saying, don't worry, it's okay. They're not really on the same page. And it's such a shame because they're a great tag team when they are doing this angle, which I fear.
maybe press a gene, press a gene. A breakup, and it's a shame, really. So, we get some fast mat work to begin with, and, you know, thought does hang with Nathan Phrases, this is, this is here. I get some Phrases, this is here, flips, and a nice athletic snap mare, a snap suplex. Then the tag teams come down around the ring because last week they were asked by Ava, show me what you've got. No, no, put that away. I didn't mean it like that.
And they fought, they all fought, you know, at the end of the last week. And next season this week, they're all around the ring because there's the tag team champions or one of them in the ring, so we want to show you what we've got. Have you all had the same idea at the same time? Is this some kind of hive mind thing?
The tag team hides mind. Anyway, back in the ring, you've got a, at least I only thought abdominal stretch. Yep, abdominal stretch. I was sending shooting star press from Fraser Zizia, who is showing us actually how it can be done.
Then a brain buster, which is alright actually, from Thorpe for a long two count. And then the tag teams fight and Fraser's years, as he jumps on them all, he dives on them all. But eventually he gets the Phoenix splash from the pin and then he thought it was going nowhere. And Fraser's years is going to attack Team Break-Up. You might win the Iron Survivor thing, you know. And then that'll have extra problems for him and Axie.
I can see it really. Right, Andre Chase is talking to the university. Bigging up the university, he gambled away at one point. As I said, he mentions alumni like fear, duke and Riley. Is that it? How long have you been going? Quite a few years and any other alumni? No? Okay then, and then he says you won't let anybody take chase you away.
Well, apart from Rich Holland, because you blurt it out that you're gonna put it on the line. So, if anybody's going to give it away, it could be you, mate.
Right, back with the Iron Survivor. I'm getting the hang of this really well now. Challenge, Jada Parker versus Stephanie, back here. There's a Julia promo just to undermine Stephanie to be giving, almost if, well not Stephanie in the ring, but actually Julia's more important, isn't she? She's more important. And then we've got Stone and, Mr. Stone and Stevie. Are they still doing this? Are they still doing that?
the competitive thing, to be Ava's PA. They are, aren't they? It never worked. I mean, they forgot about it for a while. It's back occasionally. I mean, they must be worried about the creative I've nothing for you think. They must be.
Anyway, back in the ring, we've got a Stephanie Arm Bar and Arm Stomp, a nice Jada Parker backbreaker, a backcracker, a suplex, an arm bar, a gourd buster, and we're just doing very well Jada Parker here. Vice gets out, Lola Vice gets out for the distraction, and Stephanie hits the plunky package backbreaker for the pin, but you've got Stephanie in, Stephanie Vaker is in.
with Julia and Zarya, which is called Zarya, she'll be there later actually, fighting Rancin Claire later. And the same thing will happen there, in that. Jada Parker got, you know, she's being bigged up as well, but quite a lot of our fencing, so it did, and she got more our fencing than Stephanie, though Stephanie Wharton. So Stephanie now looks a little bit weak.
And you were kind of watering with fanfare, didn't you? And now you've done that. I don't think you really understand what the matchmaking should be. It's just a small point, but one that's really going to hamper NXT and indeed has for many weeks. Next we get Tony DiAngelo with Rizzo versus Brooks Jensen.
Um, it's been talked into a match by Sean Spears, it looks like. Abel wasn't involved. No one made the match. I think Tony Dee decided he'd put the belt up himself. No one said you can't do that. Could you do with a courtesy of telling me? No, Ava. There's no one bothers with you. Right? Well, fair enough then. It's a big tough. No one will bother with you. That's what Regal might have said to her. Anyway, we've got, um,
We've got Tony selling a sleeper, both of them going over the top, and Tony seeming to hurt his knee. I don't mention it again in the match, so maybe he actually did hurt his knee. Uh, Brock's gently gets a belly to belly super, because he's not gonna win this, folks. Tony D's got quite a few weeks yet with this belt, the North American belt, of course. Or by the way, over family nowhere to be seen this week either. Suddenly there's the, is it called a badder being? It's a year in our gear, isn't it, for the, um, for the pin from Tony D?
And, um, Brooks Jensen gets cheesed off on their afters, stops him a bit, and Sean Spears laughs, because, really, he doesn't know what he's doing, and they don't know what to do with him, and it's such a shame, because he's a talent. Talent and a half, actually, and it's as if, well, I don't really care if he wins or not, as long as he gets to do some afters. That's not the way he should go, mate. So that is bad advice.
Anyway, Brindley Reese and Dion Lennox are facing Ashanti the Adonis and Carmen Petrovich, because Ashanti and Carmen are going to have some kind of big-time relationship, or you know, or I don't know, maybe a fumble in the dark, I don't know, but he's that kind of thing in it. So Brindley Reese and Dion Lennox are tagging
for no particular reason, but there you go, in their auntie, really a TV time. And Brindley Beach arrives as Tony D's being walked out by Jada Park, but no by Rizzo. Rizzo is big weird as they pass and they come out, almost as if they're not the timing wrong.
Then we've got Lex's kit, getting our advice. I can't remember who from, I could go back and check it, but you know what? I can't be bad at it. And then in the same room, people are fighting. I didn't care who this was. It could have been the tag teams again. I don't know. It's just, it's really poor. It's wrestling. It's wrestling trope and I'm not, I'm not endorsing it. Okay, back in the ring.
There are some Lennox arm drags, a nice shot from Adonis, then a nice drop kick from Lennox. Adonis has more meat and potatoes as he goes back to the punchers, a clothes line from Carbon Petrovich, then Adonis distracts Rindi Reese from the apron, and Petrovich gets that roundhouse kick she does for the pin, and afterwards, they kind of embraced and
You know, I think it was a bit like Hulk Hogan with Miss Elizabeth when he grabs her and match up and looking at her and goes, what's cool? What's cool?
But, um, oh, ahem, oh dear, me throat. But anyway, there you go. Rich is just a promo about the, um, about Chase U. He hasn't got the charisma for that promo. Or probably any promo, I don't think. Anyways, Arya is going to destroy Renson Clare, and how is she? No, she's not. Because Renson Clare tries to use her speed. Zarya gets her stalling suplex, but Renson comes back with a drop kick. They both go over the top. There's a big dive from Renson Clare.
After it was a distraction. Oh, yeah Charlie Dempsey distraction clothesline and some chops Zarya gets the clothesline for a 2.999 occurring then a spear and The which is quite nice actually and the f5 for the pin she got the win the pin for the win but Didn't look great doing it and that's not what you want is it particularly when you don't need to big up Rensin clay you could have feathered to Zarya, but that didn't happen
I'm sorry it didn't look like the monster they wanted to be.
Again, I'll just refer you to booking. Okay, right. Fallon Henley wants an open challenge. But Jessie Jane is the one who starts, and she's got the bell, and she starts this. How come last legend in Chicago Jackson? How come Rizzo and Lyons, Nikita Lyons, and this is sort of brawl, and then Paxley comes from behind Fallon Henley, plants her and smacks her to the mat, and then takes the title bell. So she's the number one contender.
Wrestling Troke, folks. Oh, wrestling Troke alert. Do you have one of those? Have a button you can press. Actually, the batteries would be run out after the first, what? 30 minutes of NXT? And here is your main event. It was blooming good, you know? Because there's something on the line, isn't there? Well, there are two things. Because there's some more content that you imagine there. Then I'll give up the university if I lose.
Well, OK. Right, so we got Holland giving us a peppy soup place, which got boring after the first two. He did four. He pulls up the matting outside. That's going to get huge later, isn't it? Chase you are watching from the back. Why are they out? Or in the Chase you section? Just watching on TV. I wonder who made that decision? Then you're going to come and ball off the apron from Chase, which is nice.
tricks on commentary uh-huh I like it actually I didn't like it or dislike it he was just quite boring to be honest yeah there's a swinging neckbreaker from Chase and and the celebration when he likes to celebrate when he just moves that are not like a running shooting star press or anything is it or a 450 nasty gut wrench into a DDT now Vic did call that correctly from Holland it was really nice then we've got um
We've got, oh yeah, that's right.
He grabs a chair as Holland. He's taken off him by the ref. While the ref's doing that and putting it away, I'm just putting it over here. I'll turn my back and make sure I put it over here, so I can't see what's going on. There's a low blow from Holland. He gets the redeemer, but Duke pulls in, pulls the ref out, and then they start to fight. And Rich Holland spears him through the war, or in the barricade war.
It's another wrestling trope in the WWE again. Riley then takes out Holland, not for Frosted Milk or anything, but you know, not for anything like that or for Cheeseburgers. He just smacks him around a bit, but he also hits feet, feet of hail with the dive. I don't think he realises that.
And then he comes off the top, Poland holds him, synths him up from military press, throws him onto the concrete. Remember, he pulled the matting up. That's quite good that they asked him so long before they showed us that. And then Chase is back, kite top, puts Poland down. Chase you, they do the Chase you shout. Give me a seag as he does the Garvin stomp as a urine argy. And then he carries
Holland out of the corner and hits a really lovely powerbomb. It's a kick out, can't believe it. That causes of this is awesome, Jan, which is right. Suddenly, out of nowhere, seemingly, Holland hits the Redeemer, there's the Pin. And he's the new patron, or German, or whatever, of Chancellor, I suppose, of the University.
It'll change the uniform, won't be any t-shirt to be all flat caps, won't it? There'll be a study on Peaky Blinders, won't there? Get a master's degree in Peaky Blinders. And anyway, it was all right NXT this week. I mean it-
I'm saying it's alright, but it just wasn't as bad as other weeks. But it's not as if it's gone. It's just better than it was last week. But the bar's pretty blooming now. Couple of good matches. And couple of MEH matches. I'm not into the Iron Survivor at all. I know I can say it now, but I'm not into it. And, um... That's the same with NXT at the moment.
I'm hoping it's gonna get better. We have to have hope, because without that, where will we be? In NXT Land. Ta-ta-ta.
