I thought the story of the AoP being big bruisers and TM61 having to use speed was okay.The dive in the early goings from Thorne was cool and added to the big vs.It’s every tag team match ever, which isn’t bad, but isnt spectacular either. This is such a simple formula match that I’m at a loss for words. Also, Ellering in the cage is so old school territories and I love it. HOLY SHIT! ITS TMDK!!! I love TMDK, but I haven’t seen them wrestle in forever. TM61 – Paul Ellering is in a cage above the ring – Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Final An awesome recap video leads into the next match… After the ad, we see Asuka preparing for her match. They love him, I love him, everybody loves him. Post match, Dillinger gets a huge ovation from the crowd. ( Sidenote: I have a feeling the crowd will be awesome tonight and help all these matches out a lot.) It may not be a MOTYC, but it’s a rock solid opener and what I assume will be a hidden gem in NXT. He showed fire, kept up with Roode, and helped keep the crowd so invested with his playing to them. As for Dillinger, I am sold on him as something good and I think he’s just great. He is on another level and, as I said, needs a huge push RIGHT NOW. Roode was brilliant as a heel, being cocky one moment then trying to escape the match the next. Both Roode and Dillenger did such a good job in this match. It would be hard not to get sucked into a match like this. Finally, the post heat portion of the match was pure awesomeness there was drama, great character work, nearfalls, nice action, and great crowd investment. During Roode’s heat segment, his charisma and cockiness brought it up a great deal. Dillinger getting the better of Roode allowed him some shine before the heat segment as well as let Roode be a cowardly heel, a prevalent theme in this match. The early going was heated, with both men just brawling in this blood feud. This was just tremendous work from both guys, with a nice story and great crowd investment. I am so shocked with how much I love this match. Bobby needs to be the top heel in this company and fast! I just want to say, Roode’s entrance in general might be my favorite thing in wrestling, and this was an especially good one. We begin with a video hyping how cool Toronto is and recapping all of the feuds. Whatever! It seems like a pretty stacked card and I’m excited to dive in. Sadly, it took me a while to watch this whole show, so it’s a tad outdated.
