☕ NXT 2.0 Thread 8/23/2022: THE BRITISH ARE COMING THE BRITI

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

I wanted Tiffany to win but still super fun match. Is that Wendy Choo's first singles win?

[Pure Fusion Jesse Walsh]

Appropriate ending for a show that's felt like a dream.

That was a fun lil' match!

Supposedly editing crowd chants is why they want to be tv-14, they're tired of it.

What gets me is, even during the PG era, you could still hear the crowd chant "holy shit" on USA and they wouldn't censor it.

5-Way Orgy Consent Signing to close the show

[Bang Bang Bart]

Table got smashed after they went off the air.

A contract signing with no shenanigans? It really is a new era

A fever dream?

I may be in the minority, but I liked seeing the contract signing the way they did at the end. Partially because of the over-use of the in-ring style one that leads to fights and tables broken, but also because it's an old school style that I first saw looking at old footage of the Hogan/Andre Mania III signing.

Tbh if they do have Mandy win it after tonight I think Wendy should dethrone Mandy

NXT 2.1 is weird.

Here are my NXT Thoughts:

Great recap of NXT Heatwave.
For the record, until he officially wins the NX TUK Championship on NXT UK TV, I will not call Tyler Bate the NXT UK Champion & none of his matches will be counted as Non-Title Matches.
Great segment with Bron Breakker & Tyler Bate. I thought that all of the NXT UK Champions would hold the titles until NXT Europe begins & then they could do something to change the Titles to NXT Europe Championships, but I'll take Unification Matches at Worlds Collide.
Good video & promo for Gallus. OK segment in the back with Fallon Henley & Lash Legend brawling since we didn't have to hear Lash cut a promo.
Well that was a waste of time. Briggs & Jensen VS Gallus was getting good when the stupid Count Out happened, but it should have been either a DQ win for Briggs & Jensen or a No Contest since Pretty Deadly attacked them. I thought that Gallus would win so then they could do a Unification Match against Creeds at Worlds Collide. I was going to say that Mark Coffey & Wolfgang could have been the 1st ever 2-time UK Tag Team Champions & since he officially hasn't lost the UK Heritage Cup Championship, Mark would have been the 1st ever wrestler to hold 2 UK Titles simultaneously.
Awesome way to debut Charlie Dempsey as a teacher for Chase University.
Damn, why is Worlds Collide at 4:00 ET? That will be in the middle of my dinner. I guess I won't be able to watch it live. I'll just watch later on Demand.
What a horrible segment with Grayson Waller & Apollo Crews. The only good thing was Waller mentioning Crews' Nigerian Accent, Crews calling Waller a budget version of The Miz, & the end of the segment. Who's booking this crap? Did Vince secretly come back?
No offense to my friends who live across the Pond, but I have no idea what anyone said in that segment with Gallus & Pretty Deadly?
So far, I'm not feeling NXT tonight.
I hate that they are treating this as Tyler Bate's NXT Debut. He & Trent Seven are former NXT Tag Team Champions & he had 14 matches on NXT TV.
OK promo by Von Wagner & Mr. Stone.
And I also hate that they are treating this as Javier Bernal's main NXT TV debut. He & Dante Chen lost to The Dyad a month ago. It is is Singles debut, so they should say that, idiots.
Cameron Grimes VS Javier Bernal was way too short. Bernal is an awesome wrestler as he has shown countless times on Level Up. If they want people to see how good he is, he shouldn't be treated as a jobber. I don't care about Joe Gacy & crew looking on.
Good video on Blair Davenport since not that many people have watched her on NXT UK. Indi Hartwell could be a good debut opponent for her. I wonder if Indi has spoken to Dexter Lumis since he kidnapped The Miz.
Good that was a close one. I thought Alba Fyre was going to have another match with Lash Legend. Thank God.
I saw the spoilers so I know what's going to happen to Blair Davenport in NXT UK, but it sucks that there might not be a conclusion to that and she's just going to go for the NXT Women's Title. Her match with Indi Hartwell was OK.
LOL. Blair Davenport just spoiled NXT UK, which I didn't do in my last comment. So, is Mandy Rose a defacto face since we are supposed to root for NXT against the NXT UK Invaders? But then we cheer for Meiko Satomura. OK. A Triple Threat Match could be great since Mandy wouldn't have to do that much and they can let Davenport & Satomura do all the work. Also, Mandy wouldn't have to get pinned to lose her title.
Horrible promo by Tiffany Stratton.
OK segment with Tony D'Angelo & his family berating Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde.
Creepy promo by JD McDonagh.
Interesting segment with Wes Lee & Kayden Carter & Katana Chance.
OK promo by Indi Hartwell. I love the Index Reunion, but it was short-lived as Dexter Lumis got arrested, but where's The Miz? I LOL'd at the crowd chanting This is BS.
Alright promo by Cora Jade.
Legado Del Fantasma VS The Dyad was short, but a good match, but I miss Grizzled Young Veterans. And for the record, since they officially wrestled under their new names, I will now combine James Drake & Zack Gibson & Dyad Member #1 & Dyad Member #2 under their new names.
Really, the NXT UK Champion that will be wrestling the NXT Champion in a Unification Match at the next PPV will not be wrestling in the main event. Who the hell came up with the idea of closing the show with Wendy Choo VS Tiffany Stratton?
Not only Santos Escobar is moving up, so is Del Toro, Wilde, & Elektra Lopez. I hope they go to Smackdown since they are needed more there. I just hope they don't re-start their feud with Hit Row. But, shouldn't Cruz & Joaquin shower first?
Damn it. Tyler Bate VS Von Wagner is over. Very good match. Now, we're going to get 20 minutes of Wendy Choo VS Tiffany Stratton. They shouldn't be wrestling that long. What the hell is wrong with Shawn Michaels & the NXT Booking Team?
Cool segment with The Diamond Mine & Briggs & Jensen. I like that match as a Unification Match between NXT UK & NXT Tag Team Champions.
What a mixed bag for next week's NXT. Crews VS Waller will be excellent, as will be Diamond Mine VS Gallus, but the Mixed Tag will be horrible when the women are in the ring.
Wendy Choo VS Tiffany Stratton had to be the worst main event in NXT History. It should not have been the main event. Any other match on the show should closed over this crap.
I like that they ended the show with the Contract Signings for both the Men's & Women's Unification Matches at Worlds Collide.
Ends a bad NXT. Some of the matches were solid as was some of the promos, but the main event brought the show way down for me. Triple H needs to talk his buddy Shawn Michaels to get his act together. Shawn Michaels was my favorite wrestler, but he's a horrible booker.

Tiffany Stratton has improved so much so incredibly fast. If she isn’t in title contention within the next few months it’ll be a missed opportunity I think.
