Welcome to the NXT podcast, your home for weekly NXT reviews and insight. The beautiful part of NXT is that when one dream ends, another dream begins. Find all of your NXT news recaps and analysis right here. So with that being said, we only have one question for you. Ah we thought, so let's get the show started right now. All right, this is Memphis Mart coming to you from Mullet Manor and happy hello Wayne, folks. We're gonna hear for the phase two of Halloween Havoc on NXT one. We're
gonna give you a little review of what happened tonight. Now, the host arrive in a yeah, are they arriving? The Ghostbusters, you know, a replica of the Ghostbusters of Station Wagon, Hurst Ambulance, whatever you may call it, and then they are brought into the show with another rendition from New Year's Day. It's called Hurt Hurts Like Hell and it's a freaking great show, just a great start. And just man, this band is freaking
made for TV and video and it's just they are. They're good a musician wise and presentation wise. They were given nowhere to perform in a rampway and these guys kick freaking butt. So uh yes, a big uh kudos to New Year's Day. And then of course they do the recap uh for last week of the first version of Halloween Havoc and uh and they're gonna they're gonna bring the Creed Brothers out to start it. And man, did the Creed
Brothers have a debut on raw this past week. I mean going against the only people, well the only person that I could uh uh put them against, an Olympic gold winner. I mean, you know, to have them go against they are collegiate in their era, but when you are Kalete, you're just so badass. You're you know, it's just to be on an Olympic level, you are just the baddest of the bad and to be on Division one you're one of the baddest people walking around, so you know,
yeah, you know. Anyway, they go into the Creed Brothers with Angel Garcia and hermbuntor Corrillo in a tables, ladders and scars match. Yeah, okay, it's not a table ladder and uh chairs match. It's a table ladders and scare match anyway, all right, So look that got to say they started off with a freaking I think it was Julius doing a fireman's carry
on both of the of the brothers through a table. I mean it's it's uh wow and uh in the way Angel and Humbuntal used freaking chairs, this was on look, they used chairs the way legally nowadays you can use chairs,
and they pushed it to the limit. I mean, they beat the daylights out of Julia's I mean, you know it was I loved it, you know, but you had the Kree brothers making their first appearance on raw and getting a win, and getting a win, so you can't have them lay down, But you can't have who was carrying on the torch to look bad either, And they did not. They did not, you know,
even in picture in picture in this match they beat the daylight. Well I'm berthrowing and Angel beat the daylights out of the creeds and picture and picture, and I normally don't watch that stuff, but and this one I'm glad I
did. Man, And like you had Brutus doing his cesorrows spin with the ladder, which I hate because hey, there's a big ladder spinning running ring duck Okay, But other than that, I mean, it wasn't so comical now you did before that, you did have a I think it was from Bertol that threw a chair to Julius and then Angel was able to come off the top rope with a big Eddie Guerrero type hit to the kick to the face with the chair. I mean, it was freaking good man, except
for this. Fuck the freaking the table, I mean the ladder. I just did not like that. I did not like that, but freaking you know, that's what we have to deal with sometimes in this But the match is a good, good match. You need to go back and check this out. The Creeds win this match because they're getting the big push. They're getting a big push, isn't it. And you know they went it with the big brutush ball. I think they call it off the top rope when
he does it, and I know particularly like that. But they wanted a wrong and they want it tonight on NXT, so you know, I mean, two nights in a row. You gotta say what you got to say. You go with what brought you there. But men, I liked it. The whole thing was good. But then you've got the host you know that arrived in the with the Ghostbusters ambulence there. Now they're doing a weedy board and they keep running that weedy board around and what comes up at out
of fire and all of dawn. So they ask if they can take over the show, and the ladies do it, so we'll see how this goes from here. But they go to Little Tiffany, a little tiff and she's asked about Valin Henry doing an exact copy of her, and yeah, Tiffany blows her lid and goes on. But it was a good copy because I had to look back and Sue did it, so it was pretty freaking good. The makeup crew and everybody involved with WWE did a fantastic job. And
then you go to a dark side. You go to Joe Gasey, no skim, no nothing. It's just him talking about what has gone in the past, and he keeps saying that, hey, I made some mistakes. I'm only human. Where they leading with this kind of like it Gasey the renegade, you know, the you know, there's a lot of ways they can go with that. So I'm really good with that. Uh you know
some me see. So we go from Gaysey to drunking off. Dragging off is getting ready, and they show a little workout spot, a little promo of him, but the man is tearing it up with the jump ropes, and uh, you know, I always wished I could do that. You know, I could jump a rope, but that means that people have to sing. And I could do it, I could never do it in the level and the speed that he ever did it, even in my best day. So dragging off of rope jumping rocky enough. But you're going to have
Tiffany Stratten against a Valen Henry. Uh. And so the match coming up and hey, Valain runs out, jumps on Tiffany, tries to get the advantage, but it seems like Tiftiff gets the top of her, ends up wrapping her legs around the turn buckle and does the lag lock, the four whatever whichever move you want to call it on that. It's not a figure
four, it's not whatever whatever. She puts the leg move on her while she's on the turm buckle, and of course they can't fight the fight, so they must because it's Halloween, folks, they must go to a comical version. And that goes into metaphor and metaphors trying to find too shall we to shall we? Or to show you too? Shall we to show any He's Jews trying to find the gentleman that stole his cup, and so metaphor ends up dressing up. Could we be a little more exact about this?
They dress up like Scooby Doo in the crew. Yeah, that's right, you got Jordan, you got Mensa, you got lash legend and x NBA w NBA tell it anyway. They're going to help no imdoor go to look for his missing cup. And in the first version, a version of this is with them dressed up like Scooby Doo, where are you? The whole crew they get together and they realize and they got to look through this haunted
mansion and they present a photographical kind of cool little spot. You know, you know that the production and everything like that's going to be top notch because it's WWE, and they try really hard and in this instant it's not funny funny, like terrible funny. It's just the way it is. But you got let me see, you got Jordan. She's never gonna make it on scary movie, but still did good. You had Mensa and Mensa did a good little spot. And then you had Lash and Lash legend she could make
it in the big movies. I mean, she could make it. You know, I got faith in her. So out of the out of that group, I would have to put Lash as the most obvious to possibly do that. But anyway, they're gonna go. They're gonna go now to a North American title spot for with with Nathan Fraser and Dominant Mysterio with Aria Mummy with him and this match, I mean, dom comes out and he's being
led out. He's being led out with chains and Mummy is the the guard I guess or Havery, and she unlocks it and lets the the criminal go and Dominic Mystereo. But anyway, he's going up against Nathan Fraser and Nathan Fraser as fast as fast can be. And you know, I'm not sure why they didn't give him more of a pushing this, but I'm hoping down
the road I figure it out. But this match goes back and forth, back and forth, and then Nathan does a little sit down in the middle of the ring when they can't seem to get together a little you know, a little house of black, little mister Black there alistair Black just sitting there and telling you to come on, but you know, he jumps in there and the whole thing comes down to right towards the end of the offensive moves, Dominic goes and does a drop kick to the back of the head.
It's obvious it doesn't connect, but they both played off really good. Ends up a dom or you know, I'm sorry, Nathan gets kicked off, goes over hits, then of the top rope gets the gonad job, ends up on the desk. A couple of little things like that, and then the next thing, Yeah, no, Dominy gets the frog splash in a
wind. Okay, you know, I you know it is what it is whatever, But at least we get maybe a little comical relief, maybe because Wesley comes in and jumps dom does a couple of little moves there and uh bam, it's Halloween. It's Halloween. What are you supposed to do? Uh? So you've got You've got Jacy, Jane and uh and and Andre Chase kind of discussing doing a little promo and then Jacy's letting him know the hey, you should thank me, and then Andre's going, you shouldn't try
to cheat. So you know where they're going with that. U. Well, you got Tony Di in Stack, so that shows up and and and they're they're kind of given an underlying thing something with Andre, so we'll see where that goes. But the rematch is coming up, so uh but yeah, you've got the new host now coming up. That's Alba Fire and Ala down uh and uh. Yeah, they're wanting to wanting to create their own part of this, so we got more of metaphor. They're going to this
scary movie trial. No, I mean they're going to try to look for the cup in a haunted house. And you know, I can only talk so much, but it just gets to some point it's just ridiculous. But you the guy's getting knocked out. This is a scene where, let me see, I think it's a missus Jordan to get scared off first, and then then it's Mensa stands up and he gets run off, and then Lash
legend towards the end there. But come on, you gotta tell me out of that whole group and including nomandor I gotta put my money on Lash legend, is it true? But anyway, okay, so they go into a recap with von Wagner and Braun and of course This is leading up to the mister Stone Braun match. You know, we we know this is going to be somewhat of a squash match, but hey, they bring it out,
Uh Bron smiling, and yeah, they start to match out. Mister Stone gets a couple little moves maybe you know, and then Bron tears the shirt off and starts to beat the crap out of him. And then uh, yeah, mister Stone gets a couple he gets a slap in there, and uh so yeah, until Braun spears him. And that's the into that. But before that, now, mister Stone did get a pen attempt, and it did not look totally manufactured. I could see it so happened to happen,
if that makes sense. I could see that it just a matter of fact that things happened, that he got a chance. But anyway, the spear happens, he gets the wind, I don't know, He's got to now do the same chair treatment that he did to von Wagner, and so he sets him up. But out of nowhere we get the we get the big Von Wagner shows up with his head wrapped, choke slams Brawn on the freaking st runs everybody out of there, so we know we have a match
upcoming. And then yeah, they do the Lyra Becky the Man promo and yeah she's kind of passing the torch, you know. And and they're talking about in Ireland. You know, this is a big gig there, you know, to Ireland born ladies fighting for the championship. I mean it's a good promo tour and everything. So a good spot. But yeah, that e Lyra will be back next week in NXT and we will see. But here we go, here we go back to comical. Well I shouldn't say
comical. Let's see where they go from here. Okay, we got Reggie scripts and he's got Bronco and Luca there. And okay, now Reggie is now he's not a a apron puller, he's not a gymnast. He's not a just some strange guy that just pops out. Now he's the manager of some street thugs and he wants street cred of out of the mud OTM, you know. And I mean I got you Bronco and Luca. I mean
they are they look like some freaking monsters. They can definitely look like they can be promoted and everything can be good in their future Reggie, Reggie the guy that flips around. Okay, you're gonna have them flipping the matches and do weird things and well, I don't know, please please, let's try to do this for Bronco and Lucha. Let's try to make this not so bad and not about Scrips or Reggie or whatever the heck you're gonna call him.
Okay, all right, So now we got Jacy Jane and THEA with Duke and Andre Chase of Chase, h you going against Chelsea Green and Piper nibbing. And you know, I got to say they, you know, Jays and THEA. They kind of jump them out of the start and put Piper into the steps, which she is a true badass. She can move around that ring and do everything and probably helping I mean, I'm guessing with Chelsea, but I'm guessing guiding her along in this because Chelsea has started looking
better and better since she's been with Piper. So we'll see how that goes. And then Booker Booker t he has to say that he thinks THEA is going to be the rookie of the word. And then right after that, j C. Jamee's going to a commercial break and she drops the first course word. Well, not really that bad. She uses a B word,
so I guess not too bad. And at this point in the night I realized I'll sit and changed everything to watch NXT in the front part of my property so I could see people coming down the driveway if they were, I got my lights on if they were to want, uh you know, candy for trick or treating. So I tried to open up mullet manner somewhat. But I don't know, Mullet manner may may not look that inviting. I don't know. We will just have to see. We'll go back to the
match now. It's just at that point in time and time i'd realized I'd been watching for a while. I came all the way up to the front part of the house just to watch this show so I could like to look out the window. And I didn't say anybody. I saw a cop go by. That was it. But anyway, it looks like at one point time in this match I wrote out some cool notes about this one. It was, uh, you know, Piper used what was kind of like the Cobra clutch, her version of the Choco, but they didn't call it the
copper clutch. Uh. They did bring up Papa shunga reference, so hmm, and uh, let me see here, Chelsea becoming a miss type possibly slowly learning air craft. And if she's good on the mic, she could be that a person that just gets by but is good in every area and they can promote her and send her out to schools. I don't know, but anyway, Jacy goes for the belt, andre Chase says, hey,
you don't need it and causes her to lose the match. Well, the delay causes her to lose a match, and then they go from there the will spinning. You expect something, but no, it's like sus King in this first interview and he keeps saying my life and drops a hint that yeah, you know, you know, possibly that he has something that he has done already. And I asked the interviewer if she wants some candy, but
it's odd looking candy, so we're not sure if we want candy. So we go from there and then bam, let's see we're on the last We go to the breakout tournament final and you've got Keana Jordan going against Lolavice and you've got pretty much a good gymnast that's learning the business against an that's trying to not whoop people, trying to make things right. But look, Keana Jordan's Miss Jordan has really come on. Really surprised me. It has quick.
She's of course very good. When she can grab hold of the rope and do some moves and do that stuff, she's really good. But she has come on from there. And Miss Lolavice, I'm a fan of hers. She her educated feet, her she can get her butt whooped in and come out of nowhere with a kick, and man, I just love it. You know Lola's feet in between. Well, I tell you this,
They got to make both participants look good. So Elektra Lopez is out there with Lola Ice and she jumps up and makes a little distraction and that causes Miss Jordan to pay attention to her, which causes Miss Weiss Lola Ice to get the win with an educated kick and she gets the contract. But I really like it. Good match. Uh it's back there with the Creeds and and and uh and the Garza and Herberto. Man that was a great match too, So uh, let's see we go from that. We got metaphor
in the last uh version of their Hunted House. But to Takshajasha, Uh just wants a match, and that's what this all goes to. So uh yeah, that's where that it's going. Mellow has a promo he wants, he wants to do a good thing, but juice. He comes out in a juice a Justice for Juice. I'm sorry, he comes out in a Justice for Trick shirt. So Mellow does so kind of kind of different and then yeah, so you got let me see we go from there. We
got Vaughn and let's see how this goes. Yeah, Vaughn and mister Stone want to match, so yeah, they're creating that for the upcoming week. But it's the main thing coming up that is Mellow because he don't miss he uh but Melow going against Drugging Off and uh yeah uh it's for the championship and dragging Off has got the European Rick Flairlok going and uh man, this whole match is good. Is good. I still put the Creed Brothers match
up above this. But man, when you get dragging Off in any situation, he's going to produce. He just has that kind of that that I don't know but Mellow was getting there. Mellow was getting there. It's just that he doesn't look as good taking a butt whooping as uh Dragonoff does, and dragging Off makes you feel like he's pulling himself out of the freaking trenches, and he's getting himself out of you know where. Mellow seems like,
Okay, now here's my chance, here I go whatever. But Mellow, I mean, I mean, dragging Off just always seems like like pulling me soup out of the mud. I don't know it, just personally me. But yeah, trick is gonna come out, and they are now are promoting Whoop that trick, So you know what that means. I need to holler Halla Halla at my guys down here in Memphis three six Mafia because I know
they got a little cut out of that. I don't know what they're overall contract with since I have a prior contract, I have no idea, but definitely definitely gonna be checking with everybody, especially coming close to Thanksgiving. Might be able to run by somebody's grandmama's house a song song and see what I can try to find out. But I will definitely let you know given permission. I never speak without giving permission. But anyway, so that's how the
show goes this week, guys. But look, I really appreciate everything you guys. I appreciate you listening every week. I've had five or six weeks really bad health. This is my first week back to where I feel eighty five percent. So bam waiting to come at you at one hundred percent. But anyway, guys, I'm gonna let you go on this spaying newter always help them rescues out and I'm gonna throw a new one out there.
