Yeah Liger needed his proper music. Was the woman with Rollins that lass he was caught sending dick pics to?

Yes.

 

Am very tempted to go to the Sheffield show depending on ticket prices.

 

Out of interest how big is the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool?

 

Usually when the darts is on in there i would say 1,000 - 2,000 capacity . Top venue though

Great show, really great. Corey Graves does my nut in though. Might go NXT in Sheffield if ticket prices are not cunty. Are they booking the house show tour in smaller venues?

It's quite big. Should hold at least 2000 with the ring and a small entrance in.

What are standard ticket prices for WWE, house shows etc, never been a WWE show in my life, I assume for some reason the NXT tickets might be cheeky expensive.

Ticketmaster's saying £100 but obviously that might not be right at this stage. They can fuck off with that though. I'm guessing the Wembley show is going to be a Takeover special..?

Will definitely be getting tickets to NXT in Newcastle. Can’t wait.

 

I thought the opener could have been more. Tyler’s able to put on great, clean matches; he was in the ring with one of the best in the world; but it just never seemed to hit the higher gears. And a clean finish from a Liger Bomb without any back-and-forth was just a bit flat. It was by no means a bad match, but I just think I had too high expectations after the weeks of anticipation. I was also thinking during a match that Tyler needs a flashier finish than his Beauty Shot spinning heel kick.

 

The tag match was great. Disappointed the Vaudevillains’ neutraliser for Alexa was the bearded strong woman, but Blue Pants was a nice surprise after having not been seen for a while and she seemed genuinely made up at the reception.

 

Speaking of being made up at crowd receptions, Apollo Crews. He looked pleased as punch to be there, and his, “Wow, that’s a big crowd!” line as he stopped on the ramp just makes him seem like the most humble guy in the world. I never really got to see him live when he was a regular in the UK, but really looking forward to watching him in NXT.

 

I was actually very impressed with Baron Corbin. After weeks months of him stinking up Full Sail in squashes (bar a forgettable “feud” with Bull Dempsey), I thought he actually held his own against Samoa Joe. The match went a nice length and was well put together. I also loved the, “Samoa Joe has a 8⅓ chance of winning” sign in the crowd. My girlfriend didn’t understand why I was giggling so much so I had to pause and show her the Scott Steiner promo after the match.

 

Women’s match, I can’t really say anything that’s not been said before. Fantastic showing, and a bit of a Curtain Call moment with Becky and Charlotte joining Bailey in the ring, then Sasha hugging the hugger.

 

Main event was good too, although Finn seemed to be a magnet to the ladders. After every spot he seemed to either land on top or underneath a ladder. I dread to think how many mirrors he’s smashed in his lifetime, too! Owens is also such a great, natural heel. The pretend shoulder pop was just magnificent. Also, the back drop he took on to a ladder on its side really made me wince. Absolutely bonkers.

Jushin Liger's  music was shit. A recurring theme with NXT debuts.

 

Nah he had some alright music surely?! Don't know what you guys expect for a one-off, totally looked and sounded like a NJPW PPV on his entrance

I know but I thought it was pretty decent for a rip-off

All Star using Boney M for Finlay is one of my favourite "What?" All Star music selections.

 

 

Bomey M fucking rule though.
