62 - Life Is Brisk
The episode of NXT that originally aired on July 24th, 2014, is kind of a weird one, and not weird in that delightful, "we're just a bunch of theater nerds who happen to also like working out, check out our improv" kind of way. More like a "why is nothing silly or fun happening, this isn't the NXT we're used to" kind of way. But will we let this episode's slightly sub-par quality prevent us from having a good time covering it? Come on now, you know us better than that! We have tons of stuff to tell you about, including:
- Why heel vs. heel matches don't typically work
- Did we just witness a burial?
- Vladimir Putin's NXT debut
- Alexa Bliss' stealth iced tea marketing campaign
- The disqualification finish vs. referees looking like morons
- Pec-and-Shoulder Shimmy 2: Vampiric Boogaloo
- Ring general, explained
- The Phantom says respect women's wrestling
