NXT UK 24\/04\/2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Howdy loyal readers, Rox here with this weeks\nNXT UK review. This week the action comes to us once again from Brooklyn and\nthe advertised main even is Moustache Mountain v Mark Andrews & Flash\nMorgan Webster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ligero\nv Kassius Ohno<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ohno makes it clear from the start he wants\nto throw his weight around and assert his dominance. Ligero has a speed advantage\nand is darting all over the ring but is soon brought down by a big boot to the\nface. Ohno teaches a valuable in ring lesson about how to deal with a meaner\nand larger opponent, Selling a Hurricanrana beautifully. Ligero bounces his\nhead off the steel steps as Ohno counters a flip before returning to the ring\nand wearing him down once more. Ohno\u2019s back stretch looks particularly gnarly\nbut he becomes frustrated when Ligero kicks out at two. The pace though, is too\nslow for me. I don\u2019t like the lull that comes in some of these NXT UK matches. Ohno\nmisses a Senton as Ligero\u2019s educated feet bring Ohno to his knees. A Splash off\nthe top rope sees a very close two count in Ligero\u2019s favor. Sliced bread\nattempt, reversed by Ohno, then a flip and reversal by Ligero sees another two\ncount. Ligero lands a nice Code Red flip, then a Suicide Dive and a Sliced Bread\non the outside. Once back in the ring, Ohno attempts to unmask Ligero,\ndistracting him long enough to deliver a Clubbing Blow to the back of the head\nfor the victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jordan Devlin shares his thoughts about\nfacing Walter in a none title match on next weeks show. He says they are protecting\nthe rematch of the century between Pete Dunne and Walter but Devlin makes it clear\nthat he intends to win his none title contest and be next in line for a title opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018The Hunt\u2019 vignette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aichner & Barthel walk around\nWrestlemania Axxess. These guys are destined for big things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Toni Storm enters the ring to a standing\novation. She talks about the caliber of talent but insists she\u2019ll be champion\nfor a long, long time. As she vacates the ring, she comes face to face with Kay\nLee Ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kay\nLee Ray v Xia Li<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Arm Bar, Wrist Lock, Arm Bar, Wrist Lock, Reverse\nArm Bar, Headlock. Hip top, reversal. Yawn. Li\u2019s impressive spinning kicks miss\nbut they look amazing. Once this pace picks up, the match takes better shape.\nLi has great ring awareness and Ray is developing her heel character. It seems\nto take Ray just a beat too long to lock in the arm stretch. Jumping knee\nstrikes from Li look impressive and a Spinning Heel kick gets her a near fall. I\nlike this girl very much. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not her night and a Widow\u2019s Peak\nfrom Ray secures her the victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Backstage interview with Piper Niven who doesn\u2019t\nquite finish her sentence about Rhea Ripley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Grizzled Young Veterans are very upset\nbackstage as they throw Williams and Jordan\u2019s gear into the corridor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mark\nAndrews & Flash Morgan Webster v Moustache Mountain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes you just know when you\u2019re going\nto love a match? Yeah, this was one of those times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Andrews and Bate start us out and quickly\nset the tone. These guys are light on their feet and yet still show off the ground\nand pound style. They don\u2019t linger on the arm bars and wrist locks, keeping the\nmomentum lively and dynamic. Bate is concise and polished throughout. Webster\u2019s\nDrop Toe Hold is sold well, and the swift tags keep each competitor fresh. DDT\nfrom Seven to Andrews and a near fall. An interesting neck twist from Bate looks\nworse than it is as Andrews sells it so well. Tandem offence sees Bate do a Break-Fall\nover Seven onto Andrews, who desperately needs to make a tag but is kept close\nto the mat by Seven in a nicely executed reverse arm\/chin lock. Webster tags\nin. Vicious head butt. Bate in, flying Uppercut to Andrews, then Webster. Airplane\nspin from Bate with Webster on his shoulders and Andrews round his legs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A reverse slam and a standing Shooting Star\nPress and Seven kicks out. Andrews unleashes chops on both of his opponents and\nthen double overhead Pele Kicks. Webster and Andrews take to the sky in unison\nas they flip over the top rope, taking out both Seven and Bate. Webster in control\ndelivers a DDT to Seven and then assists Andrews in a beautiful 450 Splash and\nSeven STILL manages to kick out. What a match! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Seven chops them both into another dimension.\nBate tags in as Seven sets up Andrews in a reverse butterfly position. Bate bounces\noff the top rope with a Clothesline and Andrews is flipped inside out.\nMeanwhile Webster back to the top rope, dives in to break up the pin. All 4 men\nare down. Bate and Andrews make it to their feet, exchanging blows. Enziguri\nfrom Andrews and a cheeky tag sees Webster the legal man. Sets up for a Tiger\nDriver but Seven is just too strong. Dragon Suplex from Seven. Bate tags in.\nSeven sets up Webster on his shoulders, Bate flies off the top turnbuckle, knee\nto Webster driving him down to the mat sees Moustache Mountain pick up the win.\nA show of resect from both teams closes the show. Definitely a Match of The Month\ncontender!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NXT UK 24\/04\/2019 Howdy loyal readers, Rox here with this weeks NXT UK review.
