NXTweddell #5: NXT September 8, 2026 FULL Review

0:00Shared heads assemble it's Ross Twedler from Coltaholic Wrestling back with another edition of NX Twedler where we take a look at the previous night's NXT thing and go through it beat by beat by beat because nobody else is brave enough to do it at Coltaholic at least. Anyway thank you for the continued fantastic feedback when it comes to NX Twedler very much appreciate all the kind words I've seen in many comments section across the schmarkish bar of medias where this podcast is available and speaking of that if you are at Patreon.com for slash Coltaholic watching the video version of this I can only apologise for the green screen looking a bit weird to peel the curtain back yesterday I had new sealant lights put in, aren't me flat and in the crusade to be more energy efficient I've had bulbs put in that are about a quarter as bright as my old ones so one quarter out of four I've lost three quarters

1:03of light and that's not conducive to lighting a green screen so I've spent the past half and now I try to get it look good and this is as good as I get without completely putting my fist through the monotony's in front of me so apologies if an already ugly mug looks radioactive like shame is to do the start of his entrance so I can only apologise for that I didn't quite realise how dim these bulbs were and they're not even dimmable this is a bright as they get I've made a massive error but anyway that's besides the point I digress so thank you for the feedback the mail back was stuck this week oh my god it was stocked I've got four emails excuse I've got an emotional four emails in this episode with another eight waiting for future episodes of nx12 so thank you very much for getting emails in continue to do so please because I will get to them as the weeks and the months go on nxt wadddll at gmail.com is the place to go to send your emails about anything to do with nxt or nxtwedal I don't care well I do care keep it to nxt we'll do the

2:10silly ones on after dark don't we are the ones too hot for youtube up the nx tweddle so I fight for your emails for in this week's episode eight more to go in the mail bag keep them coming I'll get to them eventually but we need to start with the news that broke over the weekend there from fireful selects saying the following names had been cut from nxt wendy chew rizzo the riz from the mobster days tony days family zina sterling and your rune brachston col jaspatroy pj vaza gary which I can't believe is in the next t-shirt name in 2026 but apparently it was elin akson or akson never heard of that one to be honest with you so hopefully I got one of those pronunciations correct and mark as brown couple of names in there really shocked me in terms of the releases obviously best wishes to all them because that's horrible news for anyone concerned before you've been given a fair crack at the old whip and a chance to really succeed for a large majority of these names I've just read out there but when d2 started off life is the sort of magical ancient maying the leader of tianshaw then became wendy jiu wendy jiu wendy jiu oh they did it again

3:15wendy jiu well live pal i didn't mean that but we'll keep that in there she became wendy jiu who was a giant baby who wrestled in pyjamas that's not me for six that one wendy jiu wendy jiu was a giant baby who wrestled in pyjamas but had an attack playbook as biggest Kevin McAllister's in the two humble and films he appeared in combined let me tell you a fantastic gimmick for the time period that was NXT 2.0 the proper full fat rainbow days 2020 what a 2023 NXT 2.0 the trials and tribulations against Tiffany Stratton in particular was absolutely fantastic so to go from like magical and ancient leader to to giant baby wendy jiu to then transitioning into just normal wrestler wendy jiu she proved beyond any shadow of any doubt

4:17that she can do every single facet when it comes to being a professional wrestler the sort of spooky the sort of stupid and silly nonsensical some might say and then also just straight up wrestler because she was evolved women's champion for a long old while there she proved she could do it all to see her get released before proper good crack at the whip on NXT proper was a big surprise for me because I thought she was very very very talented very very committed as well no one like it didn't matter what gimmick she was doing magical and ancient giant baby women's wrestler she was committed to the role she was given and I thought she was good me I did I thought she was good to see her get released as well because a lot of people would be like oh my god I'm being made to dress up like a giant baby toys out the promise I would to speak upon very much intended but she didn't she dove in balls deep let me tell you did the best that she could with the giant baby that was wendy jiu with the theme that sounded like a super heroes in my mind at least I thought she was very very good so it was a shame to see her name on that list there I guess the same can be

5:17applied to rizzo not in terms of like number of gimmicks given but commitment to gimmick I don't know if that's her real voice but she had a very very good mobster lady voice and I thought she was fantastic she had a bit of a kailo Riley thing going for her when like a segment wasn't about her she'd always do something to sort of not steal the show because she wasn't as like overtly funny as kailo Riley when he wasn't supposed to be like he was to the nalim kulls thunder at one point was kailo Riley was that funny before the cool kail days chuck and wood in the woods chuck and wood chuck and logs in the woods with their come Tuesday before those days but rizzo I thought she held up her own in terms of like the not wrestling side of being a professional wrestler she could clearly cut a promo if that was her real voice I mean it's a good wrestler's voice if it wasn't her real voice she's a very very talented lady because she made me believe it was her real voice so to see her put away in a safe house and I never really see her again I thought was a massive shame I was she had a big injury as well so coming back from that I wanted to get this news as well without making it to full NXT TV got good and proper I thought was a massive shame as well so

6:20best wishes to her that one feels like she didn't really get a fair crack at the whip because even when she was wrestling not even wrestling just appearing alongside Tony D she wasn't really wrestling week on week on week to really see what she was about so I what could have been I guess with rizzo Jasper Troy I think was given a fair crack at the old whipper of fair crack at the old chains because his gimmick was man with chains and these chains make loud noises and it was it was all very generic and I guess with him I think there was a portion of it where it didn't really feel like he got he got the sort of like charisma side of professional wrestling everything he did was very generic and he could sort of tell he was doing what he was told to do but I guess I'm like a book as perspective I'm sitting like I booked anything in my life not even read a book ever now I've read I've read three books actually I'll tell you but like looking at if you're given like a rest of the something to do I'm guessing if it's as generic as Jasper Troy's gimmick was you want to see something that he does off the cuff that makes you believe he's capable of doing other things in the future and I guess the chef Michael's never saw that thing they made and

7:22believed that this guy was going to be capable of being anything other than a big man I mean a big man in 2026 Kang make you go by into the main roster I mean look a big cast for example now I know he's very much a better professional wrestler a better look in my opinion because all of the muscles but he is at the end of the day a big long man and Jasper Troy was a big long man but I don't think you ever really got professional wrestling didn't really feel like he would be a proper not even man yeah man event in NXT or go to the main roster and really stealing like the line like if Vince was in charge still you could tell the Jasper Troy would go to the main roster and within six months he'd be dancing because that's what Vince my man would do with the big boys he didn't really care for look at your lower ten size the hip hop and happen in hip oh that's how it went wasn't it the hip hop hip oh oh how'd it happen in there why not but I Jasper Troy it felt like he was given a chance he didn't really tear up any trees and then he was just sort of let go it's a shame to see but then again I didn't really see it from him so I can sort to see whether we're coming from with this one to let him go because it didn't really feel like he was going to get there

8:25I mean he had a few with Ricky Sains he was a former speed champion he did bits in an NXT but I don't think it was going to amount to too much outside of NXT itself and the other one I want to mention is Anja Rune or Rune or Rune or Rune one of the two she's the anime girl from evolved just in case you don't know now I don't watch evolve I'm going to be very transparent about that and very blunt about that I only came out the big time of NXT I didn't even watch and a level up back in the day that's how much I care about the big time that is NXT the custodians of the shade I'm all in on them but until you get to the big stage you're a nothing to me you're a nothing so she's on evolve while she wasn't evolve obviously but when you went on a Twitter on a Twitter on the Twitter or the social media is the morning after evolve there's two things I would see more often than not first one is blonde lady with incredible wrestling kick the likes of which you've never seen before apologies for not knowing her name but I see the kick most weeks and the kick looks very impressive so if you do know her name please let me know in a comment

9:28section near you because I would like to know I could look it up myself but in the name of interaction on these podcasts here please let me know if you know her name but the other bit of evolve I'd see most weeks was a big cat Kita multimedia Kita it wasn't even Wendy Chu it was Anja Rune doing something anime but the way they handle it on evolve was actually quite nice I thought like she would do like the old I don't know had to work on for what of a better phrase you would like try make the force happen out of her hands like doing some anime's I've been let to believe I mean big dog beep a beep pop had none of them back in the day but if you know that you know that if you don't know that that makes no sense to you in which case you should have been watching WTF moments a few years ago let me tell you and but she would do that with her hands and then turn around celebrating things you just she just killed a bitch basically but then while she was a back was turned someone would come in and do something actually like a wrestling move and then sneak away before Annie would turn back around Annie would then turn around and think oh my god I've just felt here with the force like prime quiet gone Jinnons you would celebrate it was it was it was a nice

10:33little bit obviously it would become a bit old the more we should see it but still I thought it was a nice bit each and every time they did that there's obviously definitely a crossover between the old anime and the professional wrestling fan so it was a shock for me to see her get released without again making it to NXT it made me wonder if we were sat here in 2021 2022 maybe even 2023 would she have had a better chance of getting to NXT when it was proper full fat rainbow silly bollocks I reckon she might have done but again we'll never know and I guess the releases as well because obviously Tyrone still went earlier this year what's the real point of LFG pressures on Shiloh Hill to make LFG mean something because Jasper Choi was the winner of season one on the bloke side Tyrone still on the lady side and now they're both gone in what feels like double quick fashion so yes LFG what is the point so yes best wishes to all those who got released from NXT over the weekend there I've got no doubt the Wendy Chew will land on a feet somewhere she's a very talented lady but the rest of them their precious arm yeah right into the mail back we go

11:38first and foremost as I'm reading this back here I've been an absolute dick straight off the bat I haven't put the name on so apologies to whoever sent the following email if you let me know I mean I could just go back and check in the deleted folder but that would mean stop on the podcast for a bit and I do this like I'm live pal so I do apologise please let me know who you are and we will get to your name next week on the podcast but it starts off who on NXT feels most underrated to you and who is most over hyped for me at least no I'm dar winds most underrated by far it feels like he's been under the radar since the CWC days that's the cruiserweight classic days much edd's but every time he has a promo slash segments last match I really just enjoy it and that comes from nameless I do apologise once again I think in terms of underrated on the men's side you have nailed it with no am dar I've got the roster in front of me right here obviously Charlie Demsie who won the half-year cult the award for most underrated under appreciated under booked under everything

12:40he's got to be in the conversation but on the men's side the roster is quite small Elio Laflare injured relative knew as well I think he looks very good though in terms of his wrestling his attire never really caught my eye I think I think he needs to change his attire looks a bit low rent to me does it Elio and Dorian van Duet him and Sean legacy have been doing good things in the tag team seen over the last little while there Niraku fantastic Nico Vance haven't seen enough of him wrestling by himself he's always stuck in tag team stuff with the Culling so can't really cast a judgement on him as big as a fan I am of his look I think he's got the look but can he do the dancing I have no idea Sean legacy needs to drop the super from his gimmick in my humble opinion super that was super he needs more than that to be a thing in 2026 for me take wilder brown you injured currently I do believe I saw things say he chose WW over the NFL oh take wilder so who

13:42knows if you made the right call there to really tell you rye econous doesn't wrestle half well even half enough anyway near enough to be considered for this kind of thing so I think you have nailed it on the men's side with no amdar yeah the roster is on the men's side at least relatively small on the women's side I think Ariana Grace is in there straight away if you watch her feud with Tiffany Stratton back in the day it was just it wrote itself I think she's a very very charismatic lady who just gets what professional wrestling is um but but but but but but I didn't say an overhyped did I just realize in this overhyped on the men's side I think currently bada bada bada bada bada bada bada bada bada bada bada bada bada bada bada underrated lexas king by the way didn't mention the fastest line of life that he's much improved from his time in 80w in the best share of his life very very clearly better at wrestling than he was once upon a time but I think for most overrated I'm gonna go for Dion Lennox you know I am most overrated

14:47on the men's side, Dion Lennox. Yes, I'm trying to just let that settle there and just let it breathe. But he comes down with, he's obviously a very, very handsome man. A very, very handsome man. But he comes down with the ring and all he's really got is, BEEAHHHHH! Aggressive noises and eye popping facials. Oh, that's an interesting turn of phrase. Eye popping facials and aggressive noises. That's all that Dion Lennox has. His wrestling's fine. I don't think he's one of the best on the roster. So he's not as good in that way. So yeah, Dion Lennox in terms of the role he's had over the last little while. I mean, he has been the defacto leader of the Dark State. I don't care what Seikwon Sugayaz was saying. I know they had a tusseless to who was the leader, but it was always Dion in my humble opinion. So yeah, Dion Lennox most overrate when it comes to the men. Women though, underrated ones, underrated ones. Ariana Gray so I think it's underrated. Boo-brew, Carmen Petrovich. Have not seen her wrestler enough. Quite frankly, Laila Diggs, relatively new,

15:47currently injured, Lizzie Rain. I think she's accomplished in the ring, but again, haven't seen too much of her in more recent times. Michael Ockwood will just counting down the days until she finally gets in the ring and does some proper grappling as impressive as she is. Sorry on the outside of the ring. Raina Vulcan, where the hell is she gone? I have no idea. I'm looking down here. Rensen Clara think might be the answer for the women's even though she is getting more featured on TV than she was once was. I think that's what a combination of her getting, like Ariana Gray's just getting professional wrestling, just the way she says, Ren QC every time. It feels like that she gets wrestling because of that, but you know the sort of intricacies that fans latch onto. She's clearly come up with that by herself. So I think that she gets the wrestling and her work inside the ring speaks for herself, but she hasn't really been pushed as much as she thinks so unlike her would have been. She's been as she mentioned on it this week's NXT, largely a side kick. So I think good things are to come for her. And this comment I've just made will age like milk. So I'm going to go underrated, Rensen Clara overrated.

16:49I think there's one show on the ladies roster. And I think it's easy, Dame. I really do. Her gimmick as part of the calling is very generic. I thought the promo this week that we'll talk about later really highlighted that there's no real substance to it, which is going, ah, Zarya, I'm going to reveal the lady beneath the face paint just because I'm in the slightly spooky, slightly Manson family, but not really ask the calling. That's what we do. We peel back the veil and show the people who you really are. And I think her in ring work is fine. It's a bit like Dion Lennox to be fair. She's not bad, but she's not the best around on the roster. So I do think that the way she's been handled. I know she's not won that many title belts, but I do remember she lost a steel cage match and fell upwards to the main title picture. And against Titan Paxi that was back in those days. So I think is he, Dame, if you have to pick anybody, is the most overrated lady in NXT. So there we go, hopefully, nameless assassin

17:50advanced that question correctly for you there. Jada Parker and Thier Hale though, on this week's NXT right at the start, are walking through the backstage area. Jada says she's going to go and get her NXT title and Thier needs to go and get hers, which I assume, is going to be multimedia keyters evolved title because come on now. Thier's been lost in the shuffle for a while, which is not shooting on people like Blake Monroe that time. And that's because that scene backstage happens just before the NXT women's title match between Miss Parker and Kalani Jordan. So obviously this is the new Parker, who just squeaked by Natalia, but it's a new and improved Jada Parker. Therefore she'll take the title here without even breaking sweat. Someone who was breaking all of the sweat was a certain Bugatti who got off to a great start on this week's NXT by saying, well Parker got by Nutty, so Miss Parker can focus on what's next. The women's North American title.

18:51The match was nearly underway by this point, we'd sat through those bits with the lights go down and in the ring now is your NXT women's champion from the shed Kalani Jordan. He's heard all that and he's still got the belt wrong. He is on a generational run, his Bugatti at the moment. The match though, for a large part of it, nobody's on top, both ladies are on an equal level here. Kalani though, which surprised me, was far more aggressive when we're in the face of this new, improved, but the old Miss Parker. I want to see her snatch her bitch bold, like we know she can do. I'm still in the mindset of like 18 months ago. She was a more accomplished performer than what they have in her due now. It's a weird one, she's regressed for my money over the past little while and obviously the spotlight's now on. You've made it, you've made your way through Nadi. Let's see what you're about and just still just like, I'm one of the bottle. I'm not a special one to steal a phrase from Jose Moreno back in 2004. Parker gets on top in this match though,

19:52for a large chunk in the middle portion of the match. We see Falcon Arrow, rings of Saturn, massive corner arse attempt, reversed though by Kalani into a lovely twisting leg drop followed by an ass-eye moonsault to the floor, which gets just enough of her photo pass as a successfully nailed professional wrestling maneuver. Samoan dropped from Jada Parker back in the ring. One of the worst you'll see in wrestling today followed by the massive arse in the corner and were high-stepping but were in pain because of the damage we suffer in this match here. Then she goes for the Umanga, more on that later on obviously, the Umanga arse in the corner, the Kalani Jordan reverses it into like a half a sunset bomb. You saw just about enough of what she was trying to do to make it possible, bit of a mess, but then again, there's this not choreographed dancer. I'm not gonna say this is not ballet because you look at pictures of ballet dancer's feet and you'll see absolute turmoil. The bloody duck, my heart goes out to the ballet dancers and they're sore feeties.

20:53Oh, what have I said there? But I then we see one of the kind moonsaults and that's how Kalani Jordan wins the match and the match that I thought felt curtailed. It felt like there was a couple more chapters to go and this must be for the finish, but it happened when it happened and I was still waiting to see a bit more. From Miss Parker, this was the first match after beaten Natalia, I do believe, or sorry, Nadi, a different lady, a harder lady, and more, shooty lady in wrestling sense of course. I was expecting to see more, but it never really got going. She was doing the same sort of thing. She's been doing for a little while there, which in my mind makes the storyline she's been through a little bit pointless if she's not showing any signs of change, which is a shame to see. Kalani Jordan looked as good as she always does in that professional wrestling ring. Obviously the question marks us out there about her promos and whatnot, but she wasn't cutting one here. So the wrestling stuff was absolutely a-okay, but my main takeaway was Miss Parker. I wanted to see a different, more aggressive Miss Parker after going through Natalia and being told by several people on the air. This is a new and improved Miss Parker, but in my opinion, she's not as good as she once was

21:56about 18 months ago. So still a ways to go for Jada Parker, but you'll get there, I do have the faith. But then we see an attack after the bell from Rensyn Claire to Kalani Jordan, who also twats the referee and will be served a massive fine by Robert Stone. I'm thinking at this point of the show, because of course we do cover an XT in chronological order. Renn turns into Prime Sandman with the Singapore cane, in hand, and Kalani has taken some kind of woodshed before all kinds of goons come out of the ring to end the segment. It feels like now, Rensyn Claire is being primed to get a title shot against Kalani Jordan to avenge her one ear pal or one eared pal, Kendall Gray, which I'm good with because I'm a big fan of Rensyn Claire. She's a very likable lady and a shooter, what's not alike there. But I need to see more TV wins for Rensyn Claire before she gets a title shot. Otherwise, we might as well construct an email rather than sit through a professional wrestler match because the email can just simply say, Rensyn Claire takes on Kalani Jordan

22:57and Kalani Jordan gets the win. Because at the moment, unless she's going to win a few matches on TV and feel like she's worthy of a title shot, I don't feel like there's much point in doing it as good as it would be to see, sorry, Rensyn Claire get a shot at the title. I want it to feel right. I want it to feel earned. I want it to feel shed worthy. So I hopefully they'd do that before the title shot trigger is pulled. Backstage now, Robert Sturren is in his office doing a quick piece to camera. And you can watch that and that'll be really good. He says, which I assume means he's talking about NXT most weeks. Ronnie and Noam Dara here bragging about their super duper win last week, which it was. It was a fantastic win before they were attacked from the rear by the creeds. Stone says he brought the creeds back to NXT because of their accomplishments and not to attack babyface twinks. So he half apologizes to the babyface twinks. And no one, no, I'm in Ronnie. They tell Mr. Stone they need the creed much. And of course, because Mr. Stone is a logical man,

23:58it's set in stone for later in this show. I mean, by that right now. Yes, it is the creeds versus Noam and Ronnie. Just in case you missed last week, Ronnie is Romeo Moreno. And as you probably learn by now, I have quite frankly stolen a living by talking with my mouth and earning money from that. So the fact I can't say of Romeo Moreno, I mean, I've even struggled just there. We go with Ronnie because I'm not very good at my job. So Ronnie is Romeo Moreno because that is a mouthful for idiots like me. And idiots like Ronnie try to out-mat wrestle Julius Creed at the start of tag team matches here. What he was doing here trying to out-mat wrestle Julius Creed of all people who teaches other people how to do the mat wrestling. I have no idea he was beaten down with Ronnie and he bloody deserved it. What an idiot. He does wriggle free though. There's a sneaky tag from Noam D'Arts. High low kicks and the twinks are on top. However, spot with the double submissions on either side of the ring. Noam has Julius in a dragon sleeper,

24:59but Julius wriggles free from that. And just chucks Noam D'Arts onto the back of Ronnie. It was on the other side of the ring on the mat, doing a cross face, but not really to Julius Creed. But the margin for error on the chuck, because Julius was quite blinded when he did the throw to a human man on top of another human man. I imagine the margin for error must have been smaller than my penis. I don't know why I've said that, but I've gone for it. But it was a very, very impressive spot all the same shame about my penis, which is not impressive at all. Creed's showing off their stuff again. What did they do to someone in the position of power on the main roster not to be used, I am asking. And then I've written down in Manoteer. I mean, I guess they are attack teams that are non-starter anyway. But the back cracker fallaway slam combo was smooth as Biscoph spread. The smooth rightly, of course, not the one with the chunks in. Ronnie then shows great fire off the hot tag. We see a fly in Larry Atou, a massive missile drop kick with a flat back for Ronnie,

26:01which looked like it hurt him as much as the kick hurt the opponent he hit it on. That's how high he got. We see a leap to the top rope soon after and a splash to the floor for both the Creed's really good peppy fiery baby facey, twinky stuff from Ronnie who appears. Teney Brutai in the head on the way down from that splash, which looked absolutely gnarly, but because Brutai's head is as hard as a Simone's, which professional wrestling history has told us is a thing. I'm not being a bad boy by saying that. I've watched the wrestling even in 2026. And we see Jacob Fatou, no selling head shots there for fine. We'll run with it. I'm not a bad guy. Oh, but honestly, you're on her. Leave me alone. Don't throw me away to jail. Where was I? Yes, Brutai, hard head. Yes, he survived. It was very, very, very gnarly indeed. Julius then catches Ronnie off the top and the shoot power bomb he delivers, bebang! The ring goes kick out. I thought it was over. He slammed him down that hard. I thought it was over. So Ronnie survives that one.

27:02And then we get the big tag team, Russell Wanks coming out the Creed's are setting up for the Brutai bomb, cut off at the pass, roll up from Ronnie, knee to the head of Ronnie from Julius. He turns into a back elbow, does Julius from Noam D'Ar, with during which sees Ronnie sort of sell that initial knee from Julius by bouncing off the ropes and turning around. And he falls down into a pin on Julius who had just been failed by Noam D'Ar and then Brutai breaks that one up with a Brutai bomb to the back. Again, I asked the question, who's chips did the Creed's piss in on the main roster to not get used? They are still absolutely fantastic and showed it here fully deserving of their win off the massive La Rietteau from Julius, which was every bit JBL, which in my opinion is a very, very, very high compliment to play it indeed. And then we get like a kind of double Joe Henry standing ovation, spine buster thing for the win for the Creed's. They've still got it. They've never lost it. Triple H and his cronies on the main roster.

28:03They can be silly sometimes because why when you got a tag team like the Creed, would you not just let the tag team of the Creed's just wrestle for 10 minutes every week? Chef Michaels did it and they got over. Why didn't Triple H do it? I mean, the obvious reason is because he doesn't care about tag team wrestling, which is proven again each and every week. But it makes no sense to me. If I was put in entertaining two or three our wrestling show on, I could find 10 minutes for the Creed's every single week. They are fantastic back into the mailbag. We go. Sue Chef Ross, thank you for continuing to cover NXT. I enjoy your in-depth analysis and passion for the show. Thank you very much. What are your top five men and women since 2.0 started? And while we're at it, give us a dark horse, mine a woman to beat the top NXT and a Yarrow. So I've done the dark horse bit already in the previous question. So apologies for the overlap there. I'm not Gary Neville with the good overlaps. But yes, he ends the email here up. The shared heads, James from Michigan James. Thank you for getting in contact. If I got to remember to put your name in there.

29:04But in terms of the top five men and top five women will go blokes first because it's easier. It's the four pillocks, which in my mind sat here, I hope I haven't got this wrong because that would be embarrassing. Is Andre Chase, Come Tuesday, Joe Gacy, and Tony D. The four gimmicks that took me back to the 1990s and made 2.0 the hybrid it was with those kind of gimmicks and Babatunde being rubbish, of course. But also the modern day professional wrestling work rate that we know and love all in one big bow, which was called NXT 2.0. So there's your first four. And number five has got to be LA Knight because this is where the shed. The shed was where LA Knight captivated all the chickadees with his red call, Vetton, Count Me Inn as one of those chickadees who was captivated, antitilated at the same time. My titties were milked so much by LA Knight and that Kavalka that was undeniable. So there's my five men's, me five women's. I've got to go for Mandy Rose, put some respect

30:05on Mandy Rose's name, that title reign. She was legitimately good as a heel champion with people chasing her. Gigi Dolan because I really fancy her. No, I can't put Gigi Dolan there because she was at one of the worst bits of NXT with her. I grew up in a horrible place and I'm going to fight for my horrible place. I grew up it. That was bad bits of NXT. That's the bit we take the pace out of. So Gigi Dolan's not in there. I'll put Roxanne Perez and Corey Jayden there because it felt like for a long portion of time, the women's division was about those two when Corey Jayden wasn't injured, of course. So Roxanne Perez obviously won everything under the sun. Corey Jayden was a large part of 2.0 and I think it's got to be near the top because she was good girl, skater girl and then bad girl, skater girl after skateboard snapped via thin air. Was rubbish, wasn't it back in the day. But Roxanne and Corey Jayden, numbers two and numbers three. Number four has got to be the great and powerful ever. How can we not? From the schism to the ballroom.

31:06From the de-ad managing them, of course, to nonsensical bollocks that made no sense whatsoever in terms of her general management of NXT. So Ava, I do miss her on the show. Robert Stone is a safe pair of hands but sometimes he's too logical for what I want my NXT to be in Ava and the way she was booked, the sort of prejudice he had against certain people. It was nonsens, but I think she was fantastic. Therefore she's got to be one of the best five leddies in NXT history. And I think number five has got to be Stephanie Vica because she came around at a time when all the headlines, all the hype, all the sort of hope was in Julia, obviously the big move from Japan over to the United States of America, Rossio Gower in the front row with William Regal and Julia watching NXT shows. I think it was in NXT show at the time. Let me know if I was wrong. I'm pretty sure it was in NXT takeover or whatever they call the PLAs now that I hate saying PLAs. Whatever they call the pay per views now. But I Stephanie Vica was signed around about the same time as Julia

32:08but just proved that she is better than Julia in every single way imaginable. And she did that by working her ass off, which I know is a poor turn of phrase. Up yours, Puka T for reducing her matches to just that. I've said that a million times, but I'll say it once more. So yes, Stephanie Vica obviously got the big championship belt in NXT, proved that she is one of not just the best women's wrestlers in the world, but one of the best wrestlers full stop in the world during her NXT run. Obviously got the main roster and that sort of fire hasn't quite continued but injuries and crap Pukin have gotten the way of that. So yeah, there's me five ladies. So Roxanne, Korra, Mandy Rose, Ava, powerful, fantastic, smart and then Stephanie Vica rounding off number five. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, I've just started doing mumbo number five there. I am losing the plot. So then dark horses, I've mentioned that earlier on. So yeah, James from Michigan, thank you very much for your email once again. That's NXT WWE, double DEE, double L,

33:09at gmail.com, we're stocked, but I'll get to them eventually. Don't you worry, keep peppering me with your emails, right? Another car promo from Miles Bourne now who claims it hurt to see how Tavion took a shoot attack from Miles Bourne. It hurt him, he did it, but it hurt him to see how Tavion took and reacted to that attack. Miles is saying it got me thinking that I threw away a brotherhood because I was paranoid. Now I've done some reflecting on this entire situation. And there's a little bit of me that understands where Miles is coming from because Tavion did say in the Go Home Week 4 heat wave, I don't know what I'll do if we lose those tag team titles. So Miles jumping the gun, you know, grabbing the gun first and pulling the gun's trigger first. I guess it kind of makes sense. But then again, I still think he's full of shit. Because he could do, what he could do here, he could apologize properly, see Tavion face to face and try and move on. But he cuts the promo from the car. And then later on, Hank and Tank are pointing out that this guy is not very sincere at all.

34:10So at this point in the show, and even now when I'm sat here talking to you, I think Miles Bourne is full of shit. Miles believes Tavion, when he says he wasn't good to attack him at heat wave. And he does owe Tavion an apology, but he doesn't go like, I'm sorry. He doesn't say that. But he does say he's mad enough to admit when he's wrong and he doesn't fully just pour his heart out, which a good baby face would do. I'm still so intrigued by this Miles Bourne situation. He is gonna have to stab Tavion Heights or something as severe as that to get properly booed. Because even when he's cutting these promo, I'm still a bit like, ah, bless him, he's made a mistake with all made mistakes. But then Hank and Tank point out what they point out later on. And then yeah, I still think Miles is full of shit, even though he can't be. It's impossible. Miles does think the Tavion will be a champion again, and he thinks that happens tonight. He thinks tonight is his night, but he can't be there. Hank and Tank, cause the cinematography here is sensation, everybody. Absolutely sensational. That director that Matthew always mentioned on the podcast, that I am mistaken for a manufacturer of motorcycles.

35:14And I'm not gonna do that again, even though I've just outlined there how I get that wrong. Why I had to do that? I don't know. We'll move the pace on, but the cinematography here was absolutely fantastic. Cause we're watching the Miles Bourne promo. Full screen like you would do a normal professional wrestling promo on a weekly episodic show like NXT from the NXT shed. Put then the transitions in the shot where we see Tavion watching the promo from his phone. And from watching Tavion watch this promo on his phone, we see that his archangels, sorry, not Miles. Hank and Tank are either side of his shoulder, and they tell him, oh, have you spoken face to face? Tavion says they haven't, and that's, they just have to just wait until after the match is over. Basically, that's what Tavion says. And I'm thinking, you know, sometimes chef Michael can't be sold with his professional wrestling booking, but here I'm thinking he's not being sold. Sometimes it's a little sprinkle of salt in the professional wrestling soup. This time it's a whole jug of salt in the professional wrestling soup. So much salt that it comes above the,

36:16above the surface of the soup. Cause you're thinking, oh, he said he's not gonna be there. And, you know, I've made mistakes. I'm gonna apologize and this time you're there. Then we see the attack from the rear during the match, the cost Tavion the heights, Tavion the heights, Tavion the match. That's what I'm thinking at this point in the show. So we'll see what happens later on. Will chef Michael's give us a threat, a fed airing or two or a Fred herring my favorite fish. A great guy. I can't eat fish. I'm allergic to it. Anyway, we move on the birthright or bitching about Zilla Fatu after you blew them all off. Last week Charles is tired of the disrespect here, and they need to stop being afterthoughts and then here comes Daddy Regal and Daddy Finley. Here, Larbs to fight. Regal says it's time they stepped up. Finley says they took your title, Lexus. What are you gonna take from those bastards? He didn't quite say that, but what was mentioned was Yumanga from the mouth of William Regal who says he's got a lot of history with Zilla Fatu's dad, Yumanga. I'm asking the, I know it's nice,

37:17cause it's William Regal's thing, but why is it just Umaga? It's not hard to say it's an Englishman. Umaga, Yumanga. What does he always do that for? I've got no idea. It is funny, but it's also wrong. And for the first time we see Regal and Finley sort of calling plays because they want Zilla or a piece of him brought to them by the end of the night because birthright are still gonna try in Godzilla Fatu and their ranks. Even though last week they were like, we're really rubbish. And no one takes us seriously here. And we know you've just had an NXT title shot in your first match. And we know you're in the bloodline, but despite all of that and despite what we just said, come and join the birthright, which is a joke that no one takes seriously. Why are we still doing this? I've got no idea, but what I am intrigued by is Finley and Regal making demands of the Nipos. Sorry, I've done it again. The Nepos and the Nymphos to execute. This should have been how the birthright was from the start. The dades go and get me somebody's head on a spike

38:21and the Nepos and the Nymphos go into execute that mission. So hopefully this is where the birthright really takes off because I do think it's a staple in, it's a staple, as a staple in the professional wrestling world today. It's a gimmick that works because, you know, people say all the time, don't they? Look at the main roster stuff going on today. That's all because of their last names, isn't it with the bloodline and what not? Not to do with the talent of Roman Reigns and the talent of Jimmy and Jay, the talent of Solo, the talent of Jacob. It's all because of their last names. So I birthright takes off tonight. That's my big prediction there, even though I'm saying about a past thing that happened. You know what I mean though? Rensen Claire is now moaning at Robert Stone because Kalani called her a sidekick after she injured Kendall Gray as well. Rennes Sik of being everyone's dormant. Stone then suspends Rensen Claire, which I guess is fair enough because she did shoot fell and her facial when she didn't have to. And I guess this is sort of like when Stone Cold was arrested on Raw that time

39:21because fan sentiment is gonna grow in the favor of Rensen Claire because nobody likes seeing a baby face. It was just fighting on behalf of their fallen pal. No one likes seeing them be arrested. Therefore up the Rensen Claire, here we go with her big push up the card. Hopefully, as I mentioned earlier, she gets the wins to back up her new while I assume it's gonna be position on the professional wrestling card from there. We go into the ring. Charlie Dempsey's here and he's been keeping his head down in her NXT for six years but now he's ready to take it off. And I'm thinking at this point, it's almost like Chef Michaels has been listening to NXT's tweddle or watching the Half-Year Colt the Awards on the Colt-Holic Wrestling YouTube channel because the timing of this re-emergence of Charlie Dempsey is spooky, let me tell you. The Half-Year Colt these wasn't that long ago. NXT tweddle were of waxed lyrical about Charlie being in particular. It's this episode six I think. We had, you know, I think it's just four weeks in,

40:22five weeks in. So the time of this Charlie Dempsey re-emergence is spooky. I'll say that again, like that for no reason whatsoever. But Charlie, he thinks he is truly underappreciated despite everything he can do inside that professional wrestling ring. Maybe he's not the most entertaining or the flashiest with the dives and the flips and the flops and the catchphrases but he's always been substance overstyle action over words. But maybe that's what's held him back. Always looking deep within his Charles, it's heartbreaking to see the turmoil, the turmoil. He'll get there in the end though, I've got no doubt. At least though, he can go back home and look at himself in the mirror knowing he hasn't sold out. I've not compromised my ideals just so I can play the game with a little cheeky look at the camera. Ooh, Charles, you're prepping the triple H here. Be careful now, he'll end your career quite literally. Don't fly too close to the nose. That's all I'm saying, Charles. All birthright wants to do is mold professional wrestling into what it should be and give Charlie,

41:24well, I should say, and birthright will give Charlie the chance to show everyone who he is, which is the best damn grappler in the company. I'm thinking, come on. It's not the best promo, but wrestling. That's what Charlie does, therefore, accentuate the positives and hide the negatives via 10-minute in-ring promo for a guy who just doesn't have that fire to kind of do the pipe bomber Jason's promo this, I think, was intended to be. But instead he carries on to Charles, he gets made to look like a fool, all of the birthright do. And then last week, they took one shred of credibility, credibility taken away. It was just like that. It was taken away. The one shred of credibility they have, it was taken away. And as I mentioned just before, they literally said, there's illa, we're a joke and we're rubbish. Please come and join us. What we expect in Charlie? What we expect in, you look like a bloody moron on that professional wrestling ring last week. Why should Charles give something back to a company who tries to take failed footballers and make them into something they are not and turn their back on the real wrestlers

42:26who put their heart and soul into this professional wrestling thing every single day? It's time for the people who deserve it to come and take it. Nobody in the locker room can step up to the birthright and especially not Zilla Fatu. But Zilla does have something we need. And if he joins, they can put Zilla on the path to being an undeniable superstar. So the first three quarters of this promo, as I mentioned there is pipe bomber Jason's, damn the man, damn the chef Michaels, damn the triple H, I'm sick of being walked all over, I'm sick of people like Zilla Fatu waltzing into professional wrestling and getting the spots the real wrestlers should have this night the other. And he ends it by going Zilla Fatu. We know we turned this down last week, but please come back. What are we doing here with Charles? Give the guy a chance for goodness sake. The wrestling can only speak so far. If you have them cut promos that make him look like

43:26an absolute bitch, their shoot style of his wrestler means absolutely nothing. I could not believe that last turn that part of his promo took. God almighty me, what on earth are we doing here? It should have been just screw you Zilla. You turned us down, we're gonna take your head off and put it on a spike and take it to our dad because our dad's told us to do that. But instead, Charlie who sort of like becoming the leader of the birthright in this crusade in to make the birthright a serious thing, he's made it look like a bitch. And because of that, the entire stable's looking like a bitch is well, an odd concept here. Charlie won Zilla to forget about last week and start a fresh because they all know what is like to be trapped inside their father's shadow. The offer from birthright is still on the table. Zilla just needs to come out and accept it. Hello! That's how Zilla's entering start of course. And Charles said a few sentences ago. He doesn't like the catchphrases that the fans mindlessly support.

44:28That's a thing he's against. But he's still trying to go after Zilla fatu. This promo, as I get emotional here, and it's not just my dinner repeating on me, I'm getting emotional here because this promo was a load of bollocks. It started off well and then just became a big juicy, sweaty set of meaty clackers. Zilla is here and he says he likes what Charlie is saying. He does have a chip on his shoulder because of who his father is. And Zilla says that he certainly can't grapple with Charles. But he sure can turn this self-centre-ship bitch noise up. He was like, I sure can turn this up. Ha ha ha. Wonderful self-centre-ship there from Zilla fatu who clearly knows what's to come on Netflix. My goodness me, blurred faces everywhere. Zilla is not going to get lost in the sauce because he's the main one author turned down once again by saying the line, hello! More like hell no, which again Charlie. In the promo earlier, said he's very much against.

45:29Uriah Conners then comes out and says, we're not asking you this time, Paal, we're telling you. And then the birthright beats down Zilla. Zilla does fight back for a bit, but a slap from Arianna Grace makes it look like Zilla's going to lay the smack down on her. But thankfully, the newly engaged, fastest man alive, Lexus King, Hitzzilla with the chair on the back. Like a certain member of the shield did back on the day, back on the back, back on the back, back in the day. And then we go to the outside there and the birthright here, a kind of shield bomb, two Zilla for two, through the announce table and take off his shirt, which is the thing they're going to deliver to their dads. Not, not an arm, not a leg, not even a little toe. Oh, imagine that the car was a little toe, how badass that would have been. They're going to take the shirt back to Finley and Regal. So I, not a fan of this promo from Charlie. As I mentioned earlier, he doesn't have the fire in his voice to do this kind of like, I'm telling the man, what for? I'm saying things I shouldn't be saying on the professional wrestling show.

46:29He hasn't got that in him. So don't make him try and do it. That's all I can say about this segment there. And that's before we get to how it was nonsensical. Like I hate these things about wrestling, but please come back Zilla for two. Please come and, please come and be our friend. Make it make sense. Be consistent all the way through. At least the birthright getting a promo in the ring here kind of, even though it did make them look like bitches once again. But I, I think, I don't know. Just let Charlie wrestle. Let's stop messing about here. Just let Charlie Dempsey wrestle. That's how he's going to get over not doing promos like this because he did not look comfortable out there. And I felt a bit sorry from the longer the promo went on. But he did his best. It all came out as mouth as wasn't tender to think. But at the end of the day, oh, not a good promo for me. Back in the mail back we go. Top of the afternoon to you, Ross the boss. Thank you very much. As a new Hampshire-born man myself, I'm a very fond of my fellow granite stator. Shilohill, what the hell's a granite stator? A granite stator, Shilohill.

47:29I'm curious what you think makes him as electric as he is and what he may need to work on to step up much love Anthony from Northern NH, the NH stands for New Hampshire. But what I think is electric about Shilohill. Very easily likable first and foremost. For me, it's the, I mean, they've stopped alluding to it as much, you know, in the Noraku storyline, he is going like, I know what the chemicals he puts in that mist is because I play with chemicals on a Sunday afternoon. May my friends go to the woods and play with bleach and stuff and put their own bodies and decompose their body parts and read in between the lines here. But he did say, you know what the chemicals are? That's what drew me in. It's not only the fact that he is a real life dark weapon. He's got that YouTube channel where he likes to go on deep dives on the dark web and buy things from websites. He's not supposed to buy things from like blood soaked clothes and shoes and whatnot. And it's very, very interesting what he finds to be honest with you. He don't know that to think until people like Shilohillill pointed out to you. So the real magic in that is if this was 2021,

48:32I think he would be more like what JD McDonough was. JD McDonough used to compare to the doctor from the human centipede. Oh, I hang upside down in my room by myself. That's what the noise of the guy from the human centipede made back in the day, wasn't it? So the magic there is in that gimmick there. And again, it might be my mind wandering in the place that shouldn't wander because we don't see it on the air. We see little bits and bobs here and there, but not anywhere near enough is to what it could be. But it is just like I'd love to see Shilohill front up a stable of just complete degenerates who play with chemicals. I remember CKY when I was a kid watching that and just rake on like someone when they put mustard in his hand. She one of the lines is like, that guy plays with chemicals. He's going to fuck me up. Like Shilohill is a heal. Imagine that like I play with chemicals. I'll burn your bollocks off if you do that to me again. That kind of thing like, oh, I found this in the dark web. That'll be you if you keep pushing my buttons there. Sonny Jim, that could be him leading a stable of complete degenerates who are wrong. And it's not that, not that way.

49:34You know what I mean though, when they play with chemicals and stuff and take bodies into the woods and do whatever. There's a lot of mileage in that for a professional wrestling gimmick for me. Obviously we'd have to be doing it quite a tasteful way because of TVs and whatnot and what you can get away with on TV channels and whatnot. But that's where the magic of Shilohill is there. And I do think he's improving because he is getting rid of things that don't work. Like I remember his first few references. I do think he did it last week, which is a bad time for me to say this. I hope he's not back good and proper. But he runs around the ring like a child then goes, heeey. At the end of his entrance inside the ring, that needs to go. Because it felt like he got, he started doing that when he first was appearing as a singles guy. Then got rid of it for a bit. Then he sort of brought it back last week, but it wasn't anywhere near as like childish, I guess is the word is when it was when it first appeared. So hopefully goes back to losing. I just want it to be a bit darker. Obviously like the fog as well, the fog is alter ego. That's his got legs as well. It's a prime 2.0 gimmick and that's the best thing to say about it. It can work on the main roster as well.

50:36Imagine him in the mid card with Downhousing. Oh, the fun you would have. We didn't make Baron Corbin bold. We gave him more headings ever had. Ha ha ha. He hates it. Where evil. That's what they'd say. But I thank you Anthony for your email there. That is the magic of Shilohill. That's the end of my dissertation right there. NXT focus now. It's not a car to segment on the show with Niraku and the old Japanese saying, Si Hatsu Boshi, which means avoiding future reoccurrence of the same problem. Shilohill says Niraku does not get the mist. And we get a nice little explainer here of what the mist kind of is. Every colour harms you in different ways. Shiloh has felt the red mist and the green mist. And if Shiloh doesn't stop, he's going to feel every single colour there is from Niraku. He's going to kill the man with a rainbow so he is Niraku. And I simply excuse me once again. I simply cannot wait. I'm like Rick and Rick and Morty here. Need to stop having lunch so soon before the podcast starts.

51:36Need to start doing this hungry, but then I feel like my performance will be even worse than it is now. So yes, Niraku is going to kill Shilohill with the rainbow because what we learned here, because we know the red mist makes people go blind. But it depends how blind and how quick the effects of the blindness take place. Depending on the ratio of ingredient A and ingredient B, I'm not going to say them out loud because it felt like they had Shilohill set out in the air. And the next week they sort of blurred them up because I reckon they might have been worried, oh my god, what if the kids get those chemicals? So yes, ingredient A, ingredient B, that makes you go blind. How severe and how quickly and how long for, that depends on the ratio of both those ingredients. Does green make you shit yourself? Is that what we learned last week? We have no idea. Does purple mean you allergic to dairy? I need to know more about the colors and what they do. But then again, there is a certain mistake about not knowing what the colors do and just seeing it with our eyes that also has me on the edge of my seat. So the fact that the colors are doing different things now, as I think they've always done a professional wrestling,

52:37but in an unspoken way, in terms of Western like Americanized professional wrestling, I always been like an unspoken like, oh this one does that one. This one does that to you. Oh my god, you don't want the purple one that'll make you do whatever. Lose it to dairy, caught in a minor TSCS. I want to know more about the, about the different variations of mist. And I want Shiloh to make his own mist because he plays with chemicals with his friends. I just had put my microphone there. I do apologise. I'm just muted there as well. It's all kick enough. We're still on one, two, three, four. We're still on. Don't you worry everybody? But I have so much potential for this storyline. And I hope I'm not big enough in my head too much that Chef Michaels doesn't do what he should do, which is just a full on chemical war between two men and the ring. That sees the ring and several people in the crowd get hit by this stuff and melt. Like the witch from the Wizard of Oz, that's what should happen. Hopefully it does so. Next up we see Tavion Heights and the Jackster for the North American title, where Miles Bourne definitely will not appear because he's not,

53:40he's not there. Remember, he told us with his own mouth earlier on, Bougatis thinks that Miles is ready. Sorry, it's not ready because of the way he's walking to the ring. And then we get, which I could not believe my only is, a midnight and big tea reference from Vic Joseph towards Bougatis. Super brawl 2000, my first wrestling pay-per-view bay, but my mom got me it on a VHS when I was eight years old. I was eight years old, August 2000. I got the Super brawl 2000 VHS. That birthday, that was my first exposure to professional wrestling. And on that card, we see the Battle of Arme Johnson. It was in WCW by that point. Stevie Ray, Pugatis over the tea name. So Pugat, because they stole the tea, he appears just as Pugat. With a theme that doesn't, it wouldn't be lost in loony shoes or something like that. D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D and just picture Boug's bunny walking down the road and then something hits him. That's what I'm through my mind there. But anyway, wonderful to see from Vic Joseph.

54:42Who is a professional wrestling historian? Cats and mouses are in my mind watching this. Not rabbits, not Boug's bunny. Jackson here is the mouse. Tavion is a wrestling cat. But the mouse keeps getting free and then the mouse starts dominating the cat because his little mousey friends start helping the mouse in his trials and tribulations against the cat. The Jax de Hurte's wheel off a jump over Tavion and Dr. Thurse takes his shoe off to highlight the injury which I thought was odd. Surely as the heel, you hurt the ankle, you play possum, you're a mouse. You show it's not a real hurt leg because you're a mouse. But rightfully so because see in the sort of target on the ankle Tavion goes straight for the ankle lock because he is a shooter and that's what these amateur professional wrestling shooters like to do. The Jax de Hurte, he gets back into it with a lovely one leg German suplex but then Tavion soon after fires back with a German of his own on the apron, the second hardest part of the ring. Hell of a spot with the fastest on the trigger,

55:43the sort of set up, the finish, the Jax de Hurte gets there just before Tavion as they run towards each other. I was expecting the explosion to go off that they were running towards each other that fast. But a massive knee right at the side ahead of Tavion. I don't know how you fake that kind of thing because my god, it looked like a clocked him for realsies. But that sets up a 450 and a heart earned win for the Jax de. Now I thought the chef Michaels did telegraph Miles Bunk getting involved here, but he clearly threw the first of two fair terrins on this show our way. That's the brilliance of the man and the brilliance of the booking. Up the chef Michaels, you never quite know what's coming next. But Tavion is getting properly knocked down here with a loss against a one leg in man like this. I mean, he's an Olympian and he's facing the guy with one leg here for like half the match and he still gets beat. I know him versus Miles doesn't need a title. But it just makes you think that Miles is going to be Tavion. Now, what does that mean for Tavion? I don't know. Feels like we're back to the drum ball with Tavion as well. Because surely against one leg in man, I know there's injustice there with the other mice

56:44on the outside of the ring getting involved. The Menendez brothers, the Menendez mice. But it feels like I was a match for Tavion to win, but he didn't do it. And obviously, as I said there, you don't need a title belt for Miles versus Tavion. But certainly with Tavion, if he loses two miles now, which I assume is going to be that way, where the hell does he go from here? But Miles is here in the crowd after the final bell and the pair look at each other for a little while there before we cut to the next bit. So yes, a fine out for the jaxter. Yes, the ads on the outside of the ring got involved a little bit, but not too much. In the way that like he did beat him with one leg, is the leg injured all that much. I've got no idea. We'll have to wait and see what happens next week. But yes, I have a bit concern for Tavion. Because there's no doubt about the wrestling stuff inside the ring. Maybe there's a slight question about the promos and whatnot. I feel like I said, I have the most people on the roster these days. But then again, this is developmental Ross. You need to remind yourself, this is developmental. This is not the main roster. This is not WrestleMania. This is NXT, big one WrestleMania. So I, where does Tavion go? After Miles, I do not know.

57:44So we'll move on now. The jaxter's fantastic, fully on board with the jaxter. Zarya is here. There was always someone standing in front of me when it came to winning championship gold. Soul was one of those people, but she shed soul. And look at her now. Zarya had two titles, but of course the speed challenge. She was put into retirement. And therefore Lexus King must lose his title as well. Zarya says she's taken down all of our favorites. And that continued in the triple threat at Heat Wave. Excuse me. She comes out with this line then. So it's all going to find the promo. And then this lost me here because it just felt misplaced. Like Zarya's burned down worlds. We know this. She's chucked human beings off the William Regal plenth. We know that she says with a quiver in her voice. Like she's in a school nativity play. As the baby Jesus once said, what was once the nightmare that haunted me for months? Became the redemption I was craving for.

58:45And finally I was the one holding two titles above my head. And I was thinking, shut up, man. Throw women around like there's no tomorrow. That's who you are. You burn down worlds. You're a host who throws women around. I don't want feelings. Just throw people. What that line took me out of it? Because it just really felt like she was like, I've been practicing this all day. Right? This is it. I'm going to nail it. The redemption I was craving for. But not unlike an elite dragon off NXT 2.0 anyway either. It just, it really bothered me that line. I don't know if it's just me. I'm just shouting that we're vacuum here. Maybe it bothered you as well. Please let me know in a comment section near you. But Zarya will continue to be the most dominant North American champion the brand has ever seen. Good fire in that line there. More like this. Less amateur dramatic society, please Zarya. Is he damn is here for some reason? The universe is not buying this facade.

59:46Is he sees right through this act that Zarya is doing? Zarya is hiding something behind the face paint. I know there's more to Zarya and I'm going to expose her. That's what I was talking about earlier. That's just random. That's just because, oh, I'm in the spooky-ish Manson family-esque calling. That's all we've got. Zarya's not really, you know, face paint might be, you know, covering up a couple of other, I mean, look, excuse me, an addict, an addict with these. Easy for me to say. An addict with these. But that feels like all is he's got. Oh, I'm going to show the world who you really are. I'm sure she said similar things. Oh, my God. I'm sure she said, oh, my God. I'm sure she said similar things to Lizzie Raid. Your hair is massive. You're clearly hiding something. That's all she has and I thought it was really weird to see her out there seeing it. So, one like Zarya, the hail is also here. We don't give a hell about what is he damn has to say. Jada Parker has let her fire underneath Fairhael's ass.

1:00:48And she's here to get back to title. She lost very quickly. I only care about the woman behind the title says, is he damn again? Weird line. Care about the title belt. That's what the wrestling business is all about. My players checks and championships. The miles and the money, baby. Zarya says that Thia Hill will never be a champion because she's always depending on someone else. Thia says that Zarya is jealous because she's never had a real friend. Zarya says these trends will always leave. And when will Thia Hill learn this? I'm thinking my goodness me, that is true. All the way through from Bodhi Heywood to now, they've all gone Andre Chase. Man from Cumbria. Hey, Riley Osborne. That's mad that. Hey, brought his name back into my mind. Hey, wonderful catchphrase there. The rest of Chase you, the Duke, the Dukester. God, they had a good, didn't they, for Rich Holland fucked it all up. Sorry for using the F word there, but I mean it. Why did they give Rich Holland that win?

1:01:49He fell the entire university. What a bastard. I'm biggie is well, what a bastard. But the segment ends with a brawl there because Thia says she'll learn this thing about friends always going away from her and never, always having, sorry, always having to depend on somebody else. When Zarya gets over soul and the fight is on Cumbria and a tap out from Zarya is it looks like Thia Hale is being primed now for a shot at the women's North American title where I don't see anyone but Zarya retailing the way things are being done for Thia Hale in the not too distant future. Miles is backstage now with Hank and Tank Tavion. What's nothing to do with me, says Miles. I made a mistake. I mean, that's fair enough. Tavion's well, and he's right. It's not what I think to do with you, Miles, born, you're bastard. Hank and Tank, tell him there's only one thing you can do and that's a apologise. But do a proper one face to face and do it like you mean it. Tavion we learn has gone home by this point of the show. So next week a face to face apology is coming from Miles.

1:02:50And I'm thinking they won't do it, will they? It looks like it's setting up a proper heel turn from Miles but they wouldn't do the proper heel turn from Tavion. Would they? Tavion's been safe as houses so far. We're on Tavion's side. Miles is full of shit. All the evidence is there. He could have been saying a proper apology this week and he didn't do it. He phoned it in the right late and now his backstage going on, where's my friend gone? He's gone home because he deserved him to go home, Miles. You've fucked it. You've made a mess a bit. You've made a mess, Miles. So hopefully they follow through with the Miles. Well, I mean, as I mentioned earlier, I've said, I think I said that a million times as well. As I mentioned earlier, I'm much more intrigued with the Miles, born heel turn, compared to Tavion Heights. Because how can you get Miles booed? He seems like such a nice fella. He really does. So I'm intrigued to see what they do next week in this apology segment that'll have the world holding its breath. The birthright have made their doubts proud by handing them the shirt of Zilla Fatu. Violence is the only way to go.

1:03:50Excuse me, says Finley, the heartbreak Drake, another nickname, a new nickname fantastic from the Jaxter. He's here and says the birthright should be proud of him for beating an Olympian with one leg just about. Regal then turns into a saucy devil by letting the Jaxter know the birthright are on the hunt. And while doing so, he stroked the cheat, the cheat, the cheek of the heartbreak, Jake. Jake, oh my God, the heartbreak, Jake, after the game, the heartbreak, Drake. Oh, I tell you what, it's been a day and a half. Let me tell you, but I he stroked the cheek like I assume he did with the man in the mask many a time in AEW when that was a thing. Then we see DVD and Legacy are here. They want to shot at the tag team titles. They are then cut off by the creeds who remind them, Legacy and DVD, Legacy Media, of course, to you and I, that they beat Noam and Roddy who beat them last week. So then, no more contenders and I'm thinking that's fair.

1:04:51It makes sense to me, Darkstater then here and oh man. Oh, that's four big boys right there. Let me tell you the creeds and Darkstater looks like it's gonna be the few that gets us to a number one contenders for the Menendez brothers. So either tag team scene in NXT, far far far far far far, better than the main roster. Can you believe it? Yes, you can. Cally Armstrong is back. And for the first time since Heat Wave, questions who this half pint ETHER, Fear Hail thing she is. I think I even came out wrong. The half pint ETHER, Fear Hail. The half pint ETHER, Fear Hail. Maybe I should do this like Michael Kaden in that video. She was only 15 years out. Fear Hail hasn't beaten Zarya in a singles match like Cally Armstrong has. Lizzy Rain then appears and a match is set up between the pair to happen in the not too distant future.

1:05:52As the North American title scene continues to be fleshed out on the women's side of the card. Yes, we'll do the rest of the podcast like that, shall we? Back in the mail bag, we go, hello to you, my good sir. I'd like to do as Prime and current... Oh, I'd like to do... I'd like to do as Prime and current day, Jose Maurinho, and get real for a moment. I'll say what you've done there. While I do agree that Heat Wave's Kendall Gray versus Cally Jordan was an absolute delight evermatch. The only thing that brings it down for me is the actual end result. Not to be a hater, but honestly do not have any belief whatsoever in Cally doing a great job as champion. While Kendall may also be lacking in the character and Mike's skills department, she's at least legitimately charismatic and easily likeable. Cally on the other hand... Oh, my God, my voice is gone everywhere here. Cally on the other hand has neither of those qualities, at least in my opinion, of course. I mean, whoever this is from, I'll zack at the end there from Guadalajara. She's easily very, very good at wrestling.

1:06:53Cally Jordan, you can't take it all away from her. I'm not having that on my watch, sir. I'll take it all, I'll fight you in the car park. Meet me at the NXT car park. You go from Guadalajara. I'll go from Newcastle upon Tyne, and I'll see you there. Cally Jordan, great wrestler. Not quite Mrs. Robotto anymore, either. She's getting better, but just very, very slowly. To me, he continues here. To me, it felt like more of a case of we hurt... We owe her the... Oh, my God, we owe her this at least. The actual belief in her is a face of a division. So I guess my question for you is, what be? Do you believe she'll show enough improvement in the months to come before she'll get called down to the main roster for her to become a viable top name in the company? Again, not to be a downer, but I can't help but doubt seeing how many people have left her behind in the air since she's been in the company. Thank you for reading my... Thank you for reading my email, my good man. I love the NXT twaddle podcast. I've been a shed head from day one-ish, and it's always felt so good to be represented by such a distinguished gentleman. I mean, I prove I can't read today, apparently, as yourself. So I wish you all the best and send love from Mexico

1:07:56since silly yo-zac from Guadalajara. PS, good game in the World Cup. It still hurts, but that's football, am I right? Yes, it is. Dan Burns says hello from Newcastle upon time. What a performance of the substitute bench he made as England advanced before facing the Argentines. Hmm, all right. Do I believe she'll show enough improvement in the months to come before she gets called down to the main roster for her to become a viable top name in the company. It's all down to the promos. Turning heel suits her down to the ground. The promos are very much less misrobot-o, but still at the same level of voice. No, no, no, no. At the same level of voice all the way through there for it always sounds like she's trying to remember her lines before she forgets her lines. That kind of, if she can make herself sound more natural, I believe she will be fine, because I feel like in terms of just shealy what she can do in the ring. Well, I do feel like Kendall Gray is several levels above. I mean, Kendall Gray might just be the best pure professional wrestler

1:09:02in the game today. I don't know if some people might not want to hear that, but that's my true belief. I think she is absolutely top tier, absolutely fantastic. She's not quite there, Clarnie Jordan, but she's certainly very, very accomplished in the professional wrestling ring. Her ability is there, despite your opinion, Zach, your opinion is like an asshole that smells worse than mine, by the way. She is, yeah, that's fine. It's just the promo is that they just need a sound more natural. That's my only, my only complaint with Clarnie Jordan. All the promo is repressed, so it feels like she's trying to get through her words very quickly. It's like that. So if you just sound more natural, just take a breath, just calm down. I know it's hypocritical of me to say after the absolute mess I've made of, of talking today on the next twilight episode, but I believe she can do that. But then again, it's been four years, and the promo is still on there, and there's still a glaring issue that surely is obvious to her, but she can't stop herself from doing them. So I'm gonna say she will make it to the main roster,

1:10:03but she won't be a standout on the main roster. I think she'll be on the main roster to make the standout performers look better than they are through her wrestling ability, because no doubt she can sell her ass off. Therefore, they'll use that to make the other people who can talk look better than they are. She'll be the Dolph Ziggler of the main roster, ladies ranks in the Airstrip come. That's my big prediction. Four Kalani Jordan, if she can't sort the promos out, but thank you Zach from Guadalajara, and thank everybody for emails this week, as I say, there's a few in there to get through, but just keep them coming in. I'll get to them eventually, even if they're not on the air, I will reply via finger as I type words and stuff and phrases, and bye, at the end of the email. So that's NXT, WDD, E-L-L, at gmail.com. For the mailbag, so we get to the main event, which is Mason and Sequon and Tony, versus Keanu and E-K and Cruz Montana, in a six-man tag with the winning team, then going on to face off in a triple threat match, and the winner of the triple threat match, going on to face Big Belati Grison Walla,

1:11:06for the NXT title, but earlier on in the show, Sequon tells Mason to go after Keanu because he is big, but if needs any help at all, he should ask Tony D. Tony's got you. I like that bit from Sequon, she goes there. Throw me up so it did. Tony wants the last to hold up there, end of the bargain and stay out of his way, and reminds Sequon that he fought the dark state for a long time, so he's a bit wary of Sequon. And then Mason tried to flatten Tony on his first day in the company. So he's a bit wary of him too. Tristan Angelo's is, oh my God, Tristan Angelo's is here, and he is promoting the fact that he's not in the main event much, but Mason Rook is. He doesn't deserve to be in that much, there's a feud basically going to happen after this match here for Mason Rook. This is what I'm thinking at this period of time when we see this segment here. Sequon, sorry Tristan, Tristan, Tristan, Tristan says, is a sheep, while Tristan leads flocks. Now obviously we know that Tristan Angelo's is a world champion sheep shagger. No, man, fuck, a chug, just thought of Joel there. A world champion sheep, Shira, Alan Shira.

1:12:10She is the sheep's to Tristan Angelo, so I thought that line there was a nice call back to the sheep gimmick. We've not heard too much from since the first few weeks of Tristan in NXT. And I thought this time that that proves that Sequon's not winning either because Tristan's talked to Mason. He's talked to Sequon. He's left Tony alone, therefore Tristan fused with either Mason or Sequon or both after this match here. And then when it comes from the other team who are going on to face Grayson Waller after their triple threat match, we do get a promo from the other team in their locker room with EK Prosper telling Cruz Montana that this is a championship opportunity. And Cruz says, yes, I know what it is. Which I thought was a good line. Cheers for stating the obvious you idiot. EK recognizes that him and Keanu Carver have had beef in the past and chicken and pork and honey glaze gamin at the Toby Carvery. But Keanu has nothing to say to EK. He doesn't care about EK whatsoever. Cruz then points out that other lads on the other side obviously have history too,

1:13:10but they're going to lock in why can't they do the same Keanu then go. E this is fantastic. Some prime kissy kissy bum bum when Mr. Stone appears. I got you out of a jam last week. So with this idea, my guy when Robert Stone leaves, it's disgusting, but also fantastic. So it's great to see someone like Keanu Carver massive scary hard being kissy kissy bum bum to his boss. We all know someone who was kissy kissy bum bum to a boss. Who do you think it is a cult holic? Who kisses Sam's bum? Let me know somewhere. Yeah. To the match itself though, we see character development for Tony DiAngelo. His jacket didn't have sleeves this week. Ooh, he's so deep in mysterious. I've written down here. Yes. A sleeveless jacket. That's the most interesting thing Tony's done for a while. I thought was fantastic on the call here. So Waller is down on commentary for this match here. He starts up straight out by saying is this weird that someone's actually sat here

1:14:12and talking because Tony Di, Tony Di, he's a deer in the headlights, but he wasn't commentary that time because he was there a few weeks ago on the call. He didn't say a word and I meant, I remember pointing that out. Tony Di didn't say a word. He's bland as out and Grayson Waller pointing that out is absolutely fantastic. And then he goes on to say like, oh, I feel like a little girl here. All the boys fighting after me. Grayson Waller says he was great on the call. Grayson Waller fully, fully worth the money as North America. I've done a book at T here as the full NXT men's champion, Keanu Carver, in the ring, impressing with a pound and a half, a fallaway slam on Mason, Rook. Mason, Rook that was by the way, great stuff from Keanu Carver who is big and strong and a big old kissy bum bum at the same time. Oh, come here, Mr Stone. And see why he's doing it though. He wants a title shot and still one given one. Hopefully he gets one after this match here or will he? But I noticed in this match here a few of the lads were slipping on the NXT logo in the middle of the ring. So hopefully they changed that because we don't want unnecessary accidents to happen for Christ's sake.

1:15:13There was at least three of them slipped on there. It was weird to see why I've to change that clearly to different material because we don't normally see this happen. So sort that out NXT ring crew if indeed that is up to you. Keanu is then failed while trying to throw around sake on Shiger's. I cannot believe my eyes are say is failed. He just fell on his ass. Which I didn't think was possible because he's such a strong boy. But Keanu Carver's down and I imagine that's the only time we'll ever see that because he will try twice as hard from here on out. Not to fall on his bum bum. Surprise the ring did not break off the double suplex to Mason Rook from Keanu and Cruz Montana. That was then followed up by a splash from EK Prosper picture perfect. So I thought I was on my CBD gummies again. Lovely spot with the flippy do from EK into a spear from Tony D. Rook then steals a tag and then uses Tony as a weapon on an already felt EK. And he pins EK to get the win for his team. So Mason Rook, his team of sake on Shiger's and Tony D'Angelo go on out of a triple threat now.

1:16:19And in the winner of that face is Grayson Waller. But I do think they might have given the game away here because obviously Tristan Angels. Hard things to say about Mason Rook and sake on Shiger's but not Tony D. So I think the way it plays out next week. But again, we've had two Fed having thrown away here. That was the second one by the way. The fact that the team at Tristan Angels said things that they won the match here. So I assume that Tristan Angels gets involved next week. But then who knows another Fed herring might be thrown out away. So I Tony D will get his rematch against Grayson Waller. That's my big prediction here. And it will be thanks to Tristan Angels. Tony D can't win. He can't be Grayson Waller. Tony D is so boring now and he continues to not get any more interest. And as the weeks go on, hopefully they sorted out. I say all the time he's clearly a very talented man. Very, very talented man. I mean, he's been on the TV, hasn't he? You don't get there without being talented. Yeah, especially when you're a wrestler, a wrestler, or then the undertholes. Oh, he's an actor. Oh, I see.

1:17:19So he's clearly a talented man. But liberty to his gimmick is so bland at the minutes. So hopefully they sort that out. Right. That was it for NX Tweddle. I apologize for how late this one comes out. And I apologize for how frazzled I am. As I mentioned earlier, hot water. Only I would get my light fixtures replaced and my hot water go off. But that's my life today. So I've been trying to sort that out while also getting this and also getting the rest of the work done that is associated with my stuff at Coltaholic Wrestling. So I apologies for the delay and apologies for the green screen looking a bit weird. It's a bit bright, isn't it? Looks a bit weird. But I think it'll do for the time being. I'm just like, sit there for like seven hours and sort out not just half an hour. So I thank you for listening. Remember that email address is NXTWEDDELL at gmail.com. Find episode tonight.
