Corbin was able to get a pretty decent match out of Pat McAfee, but he was barely able to get anything out of Gable. I’m also still surprised that someone who was an Olympic-caliber athlete like Gable gassed out so quickly. Like, Corbin may not exactly be Bryan Danielson out there, but that makes him a fine choice to be that "in-ring evaluator." A trusted, reliable veteran who can give an honest take on how a new/developing talent is doing without being so good where he covers up a lot of warts Yeah, that's kind of the thing, unless it's a multi-man match or an inexplicable Chairs Match with Kalisto, Corbin isn't going to wow you, but he's very competent. He can certainly give you something watchable at worst most of the time and he knows what he's doing.

Did I miss something or was the strategy with NXT tonight “Maybe if we ignore him he will go away?”.

So tonight, Baron Corbin said the words "if he ever shows his face around here again" about Gable and then Gable wasn't mentioned a single time afterwards. Hm.

If Steveson never has another televised match, he'll be one of only TWO people (of 682 people tracked in my project) whose only match was a draw. The other one? Francine of ECW fame, who had one match on the ECW reboot in 2006 against Ariel that went to a no contest. Well, officially it was a "catfight", but they were in the ring for it and they rang a bell to start it.

If he’s done-zo he’s going to make a fascinating factoid one day. Or end up on someone’s “Top Ten Biggest Busts” thing on YouTube.

One of those rare Booker takes that makes sense, I think he has a shitty take coming up next thats going to raise eyebrows Booker T: The payoff to MJF & Adam Cole should be that Cole's getting close to MJF so he can eat his hand to keep him from using the ring. Suggesting Cannibalism angles is _my_ gimmick.

So Gable died on the way back to his home planet. Works for me.

With them not even having him win it kind of feels like they knew he sucked, put him with Corbin as a sink or swim thing, and he ended up setting the ocean on fire.
