[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Literally the only good thing was the women's tag, and that's even with me trying to set my pro-Charlotte bias aside. Everything else (that I saw; I missed the opening triple threat) was either meh or f***ing dire. This show only gets a four and deserves every bit of that four.

[theironyuppie]

I went 9, as it flew by, had consistently strong (but varied) matches, an intense main event, plenty of time given to showcase the women’s division, and some very good storytelling. I also love that Charlotte’s choice Chelsea Green seemed like a joke at first but wound up being a really good tag partner.

[dbrussel]

4. For the main event. AEW kicked them ass hard tonight.

Io scale continues its domination 10 outta 10!!!

8

Solid show that flew by but we all knew they can go more gears and really it is where they have settled into.

Hot start
Hot end

Kross promo , Keith Lee and Mia Yim promo

And both womens matches were great but demerits off because I f***ING KNEW THEY WOULD HAVE CHARLOTTE PIN IO AT SOME POINT!! AND f*** THAT!

[brettappedout (BLM)]

The show was f***ing awesome.

Great CW opening with old, but creative finish.

Gargano continues to shine as a giant douche bag.

Women all over the show with a surprisingly good match with Shotzi and Raquel. Fun tag with Rhea, Io, Charlotte and Chelsea.

Mia and Keith dinner parody was great.

Really good vignette for Oney and Burch.

Regal and Cole negotiations was funny.

Ciampa/Kross feud staying awesome with a simple squash with Ciampa and simple yet effective promo from Kross.

Finally the Fight Pit was a great match and concept. A+ to NXT creative.

This tough call. I really want to go 10, but I just can't....or can I..uhhhhh f*** it! This show flew by well having really good matches, program and star buliding promos, vignettes and matches.


10!

Loved it, I'll go with an 8 but I could bump it to a 9. The triple threat was great, the tag match between Rhio and Charlsea (you like what I did there?) was fun, and the Pit Fight f***ing ruled. You also had some entertaining things in between like Mia and Keith Lee parodying the Garganos' dinner segments, Shotzi vs. Giant Sonya, the Cole/Regal negotiations, and MY MAN LEON RUFF!!!

What was Pit Fight?

Cage match between Riddle and Thatcher with no ropes where they could only win by submission or KO. There was also a platform around the top of the cage for them to fight on and do moves off.

Oh yeah, I remember now that one. ' was actually one of the matches I read about when hearing about the news of Riddle coming possibly into SmackDown. Gotta check that out later tonight.

[RKTaker]

I didn't watch enough to make an fair rating (was more interested in the other show) but from what i saw it seemed ok

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

Excellent show. Went with an 8 (points down for Charlotte) but otherwise was nearly perfect.

Rhio Rirai vs Charlsea Glair.

You give me tank theft, Gargano parody, and a Drake win, and I’m a happy man.

[Duke Cameron]

Didn’t watch

[King Devitt]

A generous 6 based off that crazy main event, and Mia Yim finally not feeling like a cheap Mercedes Martinez rip-off.

I think the on screen pairing of Lee and Yim will do wonders for her, seeing as how she has Keith Lee's natural charisma to play off of.
That promo at the table was really good.

OH, and Scarlett looking like a femme fatale badass has to be mentioned as well.

The finish to the CW triple threat was garbage tho.

[Rave]

Another week, another matching score for NXT. 6.

-1 for Charlotte, -1 for all things Gargano, -1 for the continued humiliation of Shotzi Blackheart (at least give her a win and stop having her lose via everyone else's f***ery), and -1 for putting the idea in my head of Drake losing next week. We're at the finish line here, damnit. Just do the thing.

Anyone else notice that they've been dropping "interim" from all mentions of their cruiserweight tournament onscreen? Jordan Devlin beware!
