Mustafa Ali and Chad Gabel aren't be used. So WWE logic is call more people up. Pretty sure they are the hackers

And there is the beginning to the writing off of NXT of the Velveteen Dream, up to the main roster he goes.

That cage match was awesome. But more importantly, that cage itself was brilliant. I loved the platform on top and the lack of ring ropes. Very cool.
I'd love it if that becomes the permanent cage for now on.

The pit was great. But as they were "cage fighters" in their past, you won't see it used with regular guys as cool as it is.
Riddle leaving for Smackdown. Dream will get the belt (he's already failed on the main roster) and most likely because they think Cole might go join his gf in AEW.

Solid episode. That cage was sick, but would be tough to do with an audience unfortunately. Wouldn't be able to see a thing. Made for a cool match though. Hopefully Riddle will succeed on Smackdown.
Was nice having that bit of crowd noise. To some extent, I've actually been enjoying the small wrestler crowd shows more than full crowds. (I know this was the first NXT one, but it's been going on in AEW for some time now). You still get the crowd noise, but they don't interrupt the damn promos all the time.

I'd love it if that becomes the permanent cage for now on. I loved the whole match concept with the platform, no ropes and winning by only KO or submission. I agree with all you say but I'd rather the match itself becomes a staple and leave cage matches as their own separate thing. Really enjoyed it.

I guess you guys weren’t watching WWE in 1998 or 1999? It’s the Lion’s Den match.

Totally forgot about the Lions den match. I've been watching since '93 but I almost never revisit attitude era stuff. I might have to go give that a quick rewatch though. I loved shamrock as a kid.
Steering slightly more on topic from my own deviation, the takeover card is getting pretty spicy. I was sold from Kross/Ciampa alone but it's coming along nice. As long as flair loses the belt the triple threat should be a really strong match. She's still really great in the ring just don't need her on every brand with so many other talented women around. I'm assuming we're only getting one more match on the card, but it'd be nice to get a second women's match and squeeze the tag titles or Thatcher and/or Lumis into the mix.

I really love the show NXT has become, its kinda settled into being the wrestling show. Ala late 2000’s ROH, 2005-2008 TNA. It may be boring to some but it really is the wrestling show. I really do love wrestling, Bret Hart is my favorite performer of all time. NXT has settled into actually being partially the opposite of what AEW is doing and you know what that’s fine. I actually watch both shows, sometimes at the same time, sometimes one after another. I dig some of what AEW is doing, some it’s just not for me, turning the inner circle into a comedy act after building the first literal six months of tv around their domination to me sucks, but going off topic. They do a lot right and NXT imo is doing a heck of a lot right. Very 80’s NWA ish vibes too. I just can’t figure out this large group of people that claim they don’t even give NXT a chance because of their allegiance to AEW? That’s crazy man! Wrestling is wrestling it’s all good and holds some value (except maybe 2010 Hogan/Bischoff TNA)

Sorry for the double post!
But man that Drake Maverick storyline! This guy who lost his job and the only way he is save it is by going out there and doing something he was never allowed to do up until this point and that’s wrestle! He has to go out there and literally wrestle for his life! These other guys that want to support him but they also want to win too. Man if this was in front of the full sail crowd would be such a hot storyline. It’s been so good!

Wrestling is wrestling it’s all good and holds some value (except maybe 2010 Hogan/Bischoff TNA) When they first started on tv NXT kinda fell off for me a bit, felt like every episode tried to be a takeover at first. (I still watched them all, just didn't enjoy as much as I had before they went on tv). In the past couple months it feels like they've really found their groove again. It makes me sad there's so little NXT discussion here. I love me some aew, but that doesn't mean I can't still love NXT. As much as I agree with you that it's strange some wouldn't give NXT a watch because aew exists, I find it even weirder how many main roster fans don't watch NXT. Heck even just watch the takeovers.

I hated the finish to the Cruiserweight Triple Threat. Felt like it let air out of the balloon. It was really fun match. I'd rather have Kushida or Atlas advance, but it'd be good to see Drake win the title and then immediately lose it to Kushida.
Women's tag was fine. Nothing worth noting.
Adam Cole had a good segment. I'd love to see him beat Dream, I don't think he's a top guy.
Thatcher & Riddle was really good, those dopey WWE 10-counts took it down a notch for me. It was smart to put them in a gage to play to both of their strengths. The cage looked cool.

I loved the finish for the CW match. Showed Drake won't give up, yet it kept Kushida looking strong.

I liked the finish too. You could feel Drake's desperation with that cover. Just makes me feel worse for the guy knowing he's only got 1 more match. I don't know how he's managing to keep it together unless he's already got a deal arranged somewhere. EC3's promos make me think they've already gotten agreements, verbal or written. Poor Kushida. At least he accomplished stuff in Japan before coming over.

I hope they actually do something with Kushida now. He's looked so dangerous and dominant throughout the tournament but he's barely done anything else in NXT.
