Ridge Holland video package
He’s a big beefy dude, he wants the NA championship
Tom reminds us they shipped him off to NXT UK once
Keith Lee comes out wearing my summer outfit of sleeveless shirt, sweatpant shorts
We can talk all day about Dijak saying no, but the reality is Dijak is a grown man and he’ll be fine- on the other hand, this man that seems to think the sound of sand is the sound of a clock-
Kross, you have clearly made it a point that you want my attention, this title, and you’ve done SO MUCH EXTRA BULLSHIT, crowd starts chanting BULLSHIT, all of your extra BULLSHIT means nothing when you can’t come to me face to face, so here I am, Karrion Kross, I’m calling you out.
Instead we get Cameron Grimes!
Dijak? Kross? You should be talking about CAMERONGRIIIMES!
He’s gonna take that title and he’s going straight to the MOON, he’s SO annoying, Lee annihilates Grimes. Spotlight on the stage, Scarlett comes out. Grimes tries to take advantage, eats a last ride-esque power bomb. Kross Mat Chat. What kind of a man stands by and does nothing while his friendo suffers? You get two choices- you give me my SHOT or the hard way, you don’t want to know what that is. Because everyone will suffer.
Lee says choices- pick the time and place, and I will whup that ass.
NA title video package
Time to remind us that NXT has a tag division
Imperium vs Ever Rise
ER gets some offense in, but not much
European Bomb Imperium wins
**
UE come in, beat down Imperium
Bronson Reed mini-doc
Something about having a sugar mama to pay for his wrestling school, I dunno, Gypsy was barking at me
He knows MIchael Jordan?
You weren’t an underdog man, you’re double the size of those other two dudes
AT TAKEOVER 30, THE THIICCCCBOI DREAM COMES TRUE
Lumis watches Finn get dressed
Swerve Scott vs. Atlas
My 15ghz refresh rate 70” TV can;’t handle Atlas’ entrance
They keep evading each other’s moves like two players on 2K20 who keep moving in the wrong direction
Atlas in control with chops, swerve jumping kick to atlas’ dome
Atlas hits Dean’s old finisher, gets 2
OK so basically it’s a lot of cool shit I can’t keep up with, lots of back and forth, it’s probably halfway through ‘m just gonna give it ***3/4 and enjoy it.
Sidenote: how is that mid-air top rope um, thing is NOT Atlas’ finisher?
Swerve with JML driver thing for the win wow
Remember when crowds used to yawn their way through these matches on 205?
DAMIEN PRIEST!
Ridge Holland & Oney Lorcan are his opponents, EASY WIN for Damien Priest
He speaks like he’s got like 6 other things on his mind
Lumis vs. Finn vs. Thatch
Did they change Lumis’ music?
Lumis watches while Finn/Thatch fight, he’s treated like the big man here
Really ugly cut on his flipping plancha thing, totally unnecessary
Thatch takes control, belly to belly on lumis, wrist lock- Lumis yells “No,” he shouldn’t do that
Lumis takes control in the commercial, Finn seems to not be in the match ever
Thatch takes control over Finn, hope we get a takeover match with these two
Thatch has the best face
Lumis hits spinebuster on Thatch, hits side effect, goes for Silence, Finn hits coup de gras onto Lumis
Thatch locks in ankle lock
Thatch has finn in knee bar, Lumis locks in SILENCE to Thatch, he passes out,Lumis win
