Other than an alarming lack of XYON QUINN that was almost a perfect wrestling show … until MSK won. I'll keep saying it won't always be pretty or stick but man I find NXT 2.0 the most entertaining NXT has been in about a year

Like it isn't even a good southern gimmick. It's not overly stereotypical in a good way like D'Angelo is... it looks like two dudes who aren't southern trying to pretend they're southern Which is appropriate since Brigg's was raised in f***ing Boston lmfao Ohhhhh my god, so that's why I can't stand them. They remind me of the dudes I went to high school that went through a bro country phase. Ah so my 19 year old son.

Beings reminds me of the Brodie Lee story where Vince wanted him to do a southern accent and Brodie said "sir... I'm from Rochester New York it's gonna sound horrible" and the whole reason Vince wanted it is because he thought Brodie looked like a southern hick. Brooks is at least from Alabama. But Briggs I think Vince just sees southern hick

A very rare crappy episode of NXT with only 1 or 2 things that I liked. I knew they were going to say something about Ember Moon being in a rut. She's not. She defeated Cora Jade on 205 Live on September 24. I guess 205 Live doesn't count in NXT. Ember Moon VS Mandy Rose was decent. This was Rose’s 1st ever Singles win in her Career in NXT. Good promo by Santos Escobar & Legado Del Fantasma. Finally, Isaiah Scott will defend the North American Title for the 1st time on his way out of NXT to Smackdown. Odyssey Jones VS LA Knight was OK. I didn’t mind the interference by Andre Chase to continue their feud. Fun promo by Cameron Grimes. Good interruption by Pete Dunne & Ridge Holland to set-up a match between them later. A bad segment with Kyle O’Reilly & Von Wagner. Wagner needs more work on his promo. He doesn’t have the charisma like his dad, Wayne Bloom. Awesome Halloween Havoc is coming back, but it's going to miss Shotzi Blackheart as the host. Solid promo by Tommaso Ciampa. Wow, Bron Breakker’s theme has a siren. Just call him Steiner already. He sounds exactly like his Uncle. You can’t deny it. Hell Vic Joseph said Hollar if you hear him. Ciampa VS Breakker at Halloween Havoc will be fun, as Breakker continues his family legacy by competing at Halloween Havoc. Another stupid promo by Joe Gacy. Weird segment with Indi Hartwell & Persia to set-up Hartwell VS Mei Ying later. Ikemen Jiro VS Joe Gacy was too short & was a disappointing match. Gacy hugging Jiro afterwards was really stupid. Who was that guy in the crowd? I hate that everyone has to have a gimmick now in NXT. Duke Hudson was a solid wrestler, now he’s a Poker Player. This isn’t the 90s. He’s The Gambler from WCW. I didn't mind if Cora Jade had her match with her original opponent, as Virginia Ferry has already wrestled in NXT. Her match with Franky Monet was too short. Damn, WWE stop changing things. Now the 4-Way is an Elimination Match. Why does NXT have to turn into the Main Roster? But it was a fun brawl. Raquel Gonzalez was in a bad mood. OK segment with Tommaso Ciampa & Joe Gacy. I hope Ciampa destroys Gacy next week. What's with all of the short matches? Cameron Grimes VS Pete Dunne should have been a 2 segment match. No match tonight has gone through a commercial break. I am not enjoying NXT tonight. It was cool for Kyle O’Reilly to come out, but he got laid out, so what was the point. I don’t care how good of a wrestler he is. I will never like a Tony D’Angelo match because his gimmick makes a mockery of my Italian heritage. I never liked it in the past with The FBI & The Mamalukes & I sure as hell do not like it in 2021. Malik Blade has shown some promise in his 3 previous matches on 205 Live. Solid promo by Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams. Does this count as a cash-in for Hayes for his NXT Breakout Tournament win or does he still have that for another time? Indi Hartwell VS Mei Ying was another horrible short match. Another crappy segment with Lash Legend & Tony D’Angelo. Cool segment on The Diamond Mine with profiles on each member. One of the best things on the show tonight, which isn’t saying much. OK promo by Raquel Gonzalez. Toxic Attraction were alright. But, please stop with the What Chants. That was annoying in 1999 and it's worse now. I did like Io Shirai & Zoey Stark This might be the worst episode of NXT ever. The segment in the back with Raquel Gonzalez, Io Shirai, Zoey Stark, Indi Hartwell, & Persia was OK. Next week’s NXT looks awesome on paper, but somehow WWE will ruin it. Briggs & Jensen VS MSK VS Grizzled Young Veterans VS Hayes & Williams was an excellent match. I’m glad that it went past a commercial, but it still went overtime, making me miss the 1st few minutes of New Amsterdam. Hopefully that will end next week when Child’s Play debuts after NXT. It didn’t make up for the crap that was the rest of the show. Imperium laying out MSK was good and the crowd continued to be horrible, as they were hypocrites. They were chanting this is awesome for the match & then were cheering on Imperium saying thank you for laying out MSK. Scroll to the bottom for NXT Facts & Stats

So is Indi a heel or a face? She's married to Dexter as part of a loveable babyface couple and fought four foot lady Undertaker who is clearly a heel but cheated to win and is being a jerk along with her giant Billie Kay clone friend against Io and Zoey who are faces. It's all very confusing. Oh yes, the Face-Heel dynamic with the wrestlers being a mess. Glad that some things have not changed at all with the transition to NXT 2.0.

I don't really mind NXTs direction because they do need to create guys for the main roster.
One of my issues though is they really left some of the wrestlers in no man's land. Unless they're just planning on doing releases I doubt people like Franky, Escobar etc are cool with being the jobbers for greenhorns to teach them to work.

Indi Hartwell; Thirsty Wife Indi is great although that match with Mei "wrestles like she's eight feet tall even though she's four feet tall" Ying was pretty bad and made no sense with both of them being heel...... I think? Mei doing the no sell off the shoulder block off the ropes spot looked so ridiculous visually with how much bigger Indi is. At least Indi won. How tall is Billie Kay lite? She has to be around six feet as she looks to have a few inches on Indi who is also pretty tall herself.
