So I FINALLY got a chance to see Zayn/Cesaro from NXT Arrival
1. Good commentary is great for business. Calling the match in the ring, is great for business. WIlliam Regal really stood out here. There were a few times when Todd Phillips basically referred to a move as "a move" or "a generic move" and Regal was there, in a non-disrespectful fashion, to correct Phillips and educate the fans as to what they just saw.
2. I love the "Zayn wants Cesaro's respect" story that has been a constant theme in their matches. Stories = great for business.
3. The attempted through the ring post swinging DDT being countered with a Euro Uppercut was wild man. My goodness.
4. The fans. The fans made this match special. Which makes me ask this question are NXT fans different than WWE fans or are NXT fans just WWE fans that are receiving what they want? Because I always wonder if you replaced the fans at Full Sail and gave them 300 random fans from RAW, would they have the same participation.
5. i always love how someone being in ROH = "They have been fighting all over the world." I understand not acknowledging your competition but are they really competition? Legitimize the sport, let folks know there are other places out there. Give history of your wrestlers. How can that hurt?
6. I liked when Zayn kicked out at 1 and Cesaro was just stunned. #NewJapan
7. I liked how they hugged it out at the end. Can only image what words were exchanged but whatever it was Zayn had a legit smile on his face afterwards.
This is wrestling man. This is what we want WWE. We want wrestling. We want commentators calling the match and not telling us how to use our cell phones. Respect the roduct as if it is a sport. Please. I beg you.
