NXT Review: Shawn Spears Wins NXT North American Championship

<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the NXT Podcast, your home for weekly NXT
<v Speaker 1>reviews and insight. The beautiful part of NXT is that
<v Speaker 1>when one dream ends, another dream begins. Find all of
<v Speaker 1>your NXT news, recaps and analysis right here. So with
<v Speaker 1>that being said, we only have one question for you.
<v Speaker 1>Ah we thought, so let's get the show started right now.
<v Speaker 2>Hey, everybody, welcome to the NXT review on the WWE podcast.
<v Speaker 2>This is Jay Yoh. It's been a crazy week, a
<v Speaker 2>crazy week, and it's only going to get crazier next week.
<v Speaker 2>And Madison Square gardener for both Raw at NXT, and
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna talk a little bit about that. It's started
<v Speaker 2>out this week on Saturday with I mean, listen, I
<v Speaker 2>can't do a wrestling review, and I know this is
<v Speaker 2>an NXT but who knows it could be someday. John
<v Speaker 2>Cen Attorney, heel. Now, it's a little bit. I have
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a different take on it than
<v Speaker 2>a lot of podcasters do, or a lot of influen influencer.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know what I'm called, butever, I'm
<v Speaker 2>a podcaster. I guess I record a show once a
<v Speaker 2>week for your listening pleasure. I have a little bit
<v Speaker 2>of a different take on the whole John Cena thing
<v Speaker 2>for the main reason that generally, for the entirety of
<v Speaker 2>especially the crux of John Cena's career, I wasn't watching,
<v Speaker 2>Like I knew who John Cena was, but up until
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two, I wasn't watching WWE, watching wrestling at all,
<v Speaker 2>And so I saw John Cena come in at the
<v Speaker 2>very end of when I stopped watching in twenty in
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and two, and then and then I obviously
<v Speaker 2>I caught him at the end, but for the majority
<v Speaker 2>of the meat that I mean, not not the meat,
<v Speaker 2>Like basically the entire time johnsena was wrestling, I wasn't watching.
<v Speaker 2>So I don't have the same warm and fuzzies for
<v Speaker 2>John Cena. Like they don't get me wrong, johnsen is awesome.
<v Speaker 2>Like I love the message well before Saturday. I love
<v Speaker 2>the message that he sent loyal hustle, you know, loyalty, hustle,
<v Speaker 2>respect and not in that owner of course, again not
<v Speaker 2>not a John Cena person. But I also know enough
<v Speaker 2>to know that John seeing it turning heel was a
<v Speaker 2>big deal, like a huge deal. I know that for
<v Speaker 2>a fact, and like and you know, I I do research.
<v Speaker 2>I told you, I've told you in the past. I
<v Speaker 2>do research. Like I I listen to other podcasters. I
<v Speaker 2>listened to Matt, I listened to other shows, a bunch
<v Speaker 2>of other shows. So I know how much of a
<v Speaker 2>big deal this is. And I know it's been akin
<v Speaker 2>to the well I've heard, akin to obviously the Hogan
<v Speaker 2>turn in, uh you know, Bash of the Beach, and
<v Speaker 2>I believe in ninety six when you know when he
<v Speaker 2>was was brought out as a third member of the
<v Speaker 2>NW Obviously I was here for all that. I know.
<v Speaker 2>You know, so I heard it. It's similar like in
<v Speaker 2>stature to that. Also, think about it for a second.
<v Speaker 2>Think about this for a second. To me, this compares
<v Speaker 2>more and and I won't talk too much about it again.
<v Speaker 2>I know this is an NXT podcast, but you know what,
<v Speaker 2>I have the platform. I'll just get my thoughts to me.
<v Speaker 2>This is more similar not to the hogantern but too.
<v Speaker 2>And I heard this this week and I and I agree.
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember where I heard it from, but to me,
<v Speaker 2>it seems more I think, maybe maybe I'm busted open.
<v Speaker 2>This seems more like wrestle the lead up to WrestleMania three.
<v Speaker 2>Now before WrestleMania three. And I know most of you
<v Speaker 2>don't remember that because you're not old enough to or
<v Speaker 2>maybe you are. I don't know, but most people listen
<v Speaker 2>to podcasts aren't old enough to remember WrestleMania three. I did.
<v Speaker 2>That was when I first started watching betwe between WrestleMania
<v Speaker 2>two and three is when I first started watching. They
<v Speaker 2>took the biggest babyface in the business in WrestleMania three,
<v Speaker 2>and in order to pass the torch to the next
<v Speaker 2>big thing, I eat Hulk Hogan. At the time, they
<v Speaker 2>turned Andrea at the giant heel, who was beloved even after,
<v Speaker 2>like because if you remember, like the movie The Princess Bride,
<v Speaker 2>that he was in there. We loved him, and that
<v Speaker 2>came out in the same year. He was a heel
<v Speaker 2>when that movie came out, and people still loved him. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>he played a heel. He played a great heel for
<v Speaker 2>the record three years. Three years. He played a heel
<v Speaker 2>from WrestleMania three to WrestleMania six, and he turned on
<v Speaker 2>Haku in WrestleMania six when they lost the tag titles.
<v Speaker 2>But for three years he was a heel. He had
<v Speaker 2>a lot of big feuds during that time. Jake State
<v Speaker 2>to Snake Bilton Warrior. There was a lot, you know,
<v Speaker 2>I think Randy Savage at one point, there was a
<v Speaker 2>lot of big but he he turned heel specifically for
<v Speaker 2>the purpose of putting over Hulk Hogan and WrestleMania three,
<v Speaker 2>which he did. Although if you if you hear that story,
<v Speaker 2>there's very very much it was a possible doubt. Even
<v Speaker 2>Hogan said there was a doubt that he definitely was
<v Speaker 2>going to do the deed, but he did. He ended
<v Speaker 2>up turning heel to put Hogan over, and then we
<v Speaker 2>all know what happened with Hogan. It's it's wrestling lore.
<v Speaker 2>So now I would akin John Cena to Andrea the giant, biggest,
<v Speaker 2>you know, one of the biggest baby probably the biggest
<v Speaker 2>baby face in the last twenty years. Regardless of how
<v Speaker 2>you felt about him, regardless of you know, where you
<v Speaker 2>booed or cheered him, he was a babyface and he's
<v Speaker 2>coming to the end of his career as Andre was
<v Speaker 2>back then, and he now is turning heel to put
<v Speaker 2>over the next big thing now in Cody ro It's
<v Speaker 2>now Cody Rose already has title, just like Hogan had
<v Speaker 2>the title already back in nineteen eighty seven. And but
<v Speaker 2>this push, if he can garnish as if Johnsona can
<v Speaker 2>garnish as much heat as Andre did back in nineteen
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven, this could hold the same This could hold
<v Speaker 2>the same result of Sina putting Cody over to make
<v Speaker 2>him even a bigger star. What do you think? Just
<v Speaker 2>a thought. I wanted to put that out there before
<v Speaker 2>I went into this into my review. Also, just so
<v Speaker 2>you know this, this this Scena Sena rant on Monday
<v Speaker 2>night at the beginning of the show. No Chef's kiss.
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, he is so good. But that's that's that's
<v Speaker 2>an aside. That's again not the main roster. But how
<v Speaker 2>can I just focus on NXT And there's so much
<v Speaker 2>good stuff happening everywhere everywhere, including NXT, NTNA, NTNA. We're
<v Speaker 2>gonna talk about that. So this week we had the
<v Speaker 2>NXT episode on three four twenty five, And so the
<v Speaker 2>reason why I said I was gonna get it out
<v Speaker 2>the day after the show, and I was planning on it.
<v Speaker 2>But what happened was on Tuesday night when I went
<v Speaker 2>to watch it Channel eleven, which is the CWS channel
<v Speaker 2>in New York City about around where I'm from. They
<v Speaker 2>preempted NXT for the President's speech, so I didn't actually
<v Speaker 2>get to watch NXT live. I had to wait until
<v Speaker 2>it came on demand on last night, so I couldn't
<v Speaker 2>watch to last night. So here I am giving the
<v Speaker 2>review tonight. So I apologize. I am going to get better.
<v Speaker 2>I do promise. I hope you guys are listening. Matt
<v Speaker 2>tells me that there's thousands of downloads, but I want
<v Speaker 2>to know for sure, like, tell me somebody reach out
<v Speaker 2>and say, hey, I hear you. I think you're stupidly
<v Speaker 2>wrong about the John Cena compared to Andrea Giant heel turn. Oh,
<v Speaker 2>hold on a second, all right, so let me continue.
<v Speaker 2>I have a better microphone now, so hopefully everything works
<v Speaker 2>out nicely. So let's talk about the NXT episode from
<v Speaker 2>and I apologize for the weirdness. I was just, you know,
<v Speaker 2>it's everything we better for going moving forward as far
<v Speaker 2>as this. The sound wasn't too bad, but it just
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't the same. So anyway, okay, So anyway, let's
<v Speaker 2>let's move forwar. And I apologize that it's been you know,
<v Speaker 2>this episode has been wonky, but I didn't want to
<v Speaker 2>lose the things that I said to you before because
<v Speaker 2>I thought that they were important and forgot to put
<v Speaker 2>my mic in. But now I think, I think this
<v Speaker 2>sounds hopefully better and we're gonna move forward. So now
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about So now, let's talk about the NXT
<v Speaker 2>results for episode dating March fourth five. It was at
<v Speaker 2>the Performance Center in winter Park, Florida, and our announcers
<v Speaker 2>your commentators are Vic, Joseph Booker T and Corey Graves.
<v Speaker 2>And your re announcer tonight was Lillian Garcia. Yes, she
<v Speaker 2>made I guess from what I heard. This was her
<v Speaker 2>first appearance ever on NXT, which is mind blowing considering
<v Speaker 2>she was on for so long. Anyway, that's awesome. Got
<v Speaker 2>to got to you know, to be honest. Well, well
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk about that later. So anyway, let's talk about
<v Speaker 2>what happened on on NXT that night. The first the
<v Speaker 2>night we had was Zaria and soul A Luka versus
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea Green and Piper Niven. This came about as a
<v Speaker 2>little from a little interaction that they had last week
<v Speaker 2>in the back. Yeah, this was a great match. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea got Chelsea. Let's talk about Chelsea Green for a second.
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea Green is a Canadian treasure. Actually, I actually tweeted
<v Speaker 2>that to her one time. It never I never heard
<v Speaker 2>back from her. She's actually one of the few wrestlers
<v Speaker 2>on Twitter that will repost a lot of the things
<v Speaker 2>that you say about her, so she's kind of keep
<v Speaker 2>that in mind. Chelsea. The way Chelsea does what she
<v Speaker 2>does in the ring, and she's not over the time,
<v Speaker 2>although let's don't don't get it twisted. I saw a
<v Speaker 2>Luca underground match between her and Penta which she was
<v Speaker 2>called called herself for Clusa at the time. It was
<v Speaker 2>between Chelsea Green and Penta a couple of years ago,
<v Speaker 2>and she she was amazing and against Pana Pana, she
<v Speaker 2>was amazing. This does not change anything. She was great
<v Speaker 2>and then and she was great in this match. Her
<v Speaker 2>and Piper Niven were great against Zari and so Ruka
<v Speaker 2>so Ruka, you know, being doing the high flying stuff
<v Speaker 2>was great. Sorry, doing the power she had. Piper Niven
<v Speaker 2>lifted on her shoulders and did the at one point
<v Speaker 2>did the which I'm calling an F five because it's
<v Speaker 2>the same move that brock Leslon does and had her
<v Speaker 2>land on Chelsea. Chelsea ended up busting her nose. She
<v Speaker 2>ended up getting a bloody nose in the middle of
<v Speaker 2>the match. It was just it was a great It
<v Speaker 2>was a great match. It was a fun match. And
<v Speaker 2>at the end, at the end, so Ruka ends up
<v Speaker 2>giving Chelsea Green a soul snatcher. Now, this is my
<v Speaker 2>only problem with this match. So Chelsea Green ends up
<v Speaker 2>getting pinned by sol Rukas. So the only issue I
<v Speaker 2>have with this is this is the US Women's champion
<v Speaker 2>and they were having her take the pin against uh
<v Speaker 2>so Ruka. Maybe that sets up a US Women's title
<v Speaker 2>match Chelsea Grant against so Ruka. Maybe we'll have to see.
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, it was a great match and at the end,
<v Speaker 2>Zariya and so Ruka end up getting to win. So
<v Speaker 2>high quality stuff. High quality stuff. Next week, go to
<v Speaker 2>Ava's office where we see Jordan Grace and she says
<v Speaker 2>that she has unfinished business with Roxanne Perez and Cora.
<v Speaker 2>Jade comes in and says that and Grace says that
<v Speaker 2>Kora is just here to protect her best friend Cora,
<v Speaker 2>and frims Jordan that they are not they are no
<v Speaker 2>longer best friends with She's no longer best friends with Roxanne.
<v Speaker 2>Cora then thanks Ama for granting her a match with
<v Speaker 2>Jordan's best friend Masha Slamovic. So if you don't know
<v Speaker 2>who Masha Slamovich, and she was there last night and
<v Speaker 2>you could see her briefly, which I don't even know
<v Speaker 2>why they introduced her, like you only start for like
<v Speaker 2>the second and a half. Masha Slamovich is currently the
<v Speaker 2>TNA Knockouts Champion and I don't know. I think it's
<v Speaker 2>at the TNA next pay per view. Again, I don't
<v Speaker 2>watch TNA as much as I want to because number one,
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the channel that it's on, and number two,
<v Speaker 2>if I pay for it cost ten dollars a month,
<v Speaker 2>and I pay for a lot of stuff already to
<v Speaker 2>be honest. But but anyway, uh Coora Jaide is getting
<v Speaker 2>a title shot for the TNA Knockouts Championship that Jordan
<v Speaker 2>used to hold against Masha Slamovich at the next TNAH
<v Speaker 2>pay per view. So great, it's I love how they're
<v Speaker 2>intertwining everything that's going on. Yeah. So, and then Kora said,
<v Speaker 2>when she becomes TNA n Gouts Champion, she proclaimed that
<v Speaker 2>she's a better champion than Jordan ever was, and Jordan
<v Speaker 2>responds by saying, the day that that happens, she'll retire.
<v Speaker 2>Ava likes where this is going and makes a match
<v Speaker 2>between Grace and Jade for later. Then Trick Williams wants
<v Speaker 2>to have a fight with Eddie Thorpe right now, Cale
<v Speaker 2>Dixon and Uriah Connors interrupts a conversation and a special
<v Speaker 2>gift for Ava. Dixon tells Trick to calm down because
<v Speaker 2>he's responsible for putting Chase you on the line in
<v Speaker 2>the first place. Trick shows Dixon against the wall and
<v Speaker 2>the anger, and then so basically there's they set up
<v Speaker 2>a match tonight for Cale versus Trick Williams, and this
<v Speaker 2>was a yeah, I'll talk about that when we come
<v Speaker 2>to it. Next, we've got Kelly Kinkaid and she had
<v Speaker 2>a backstage interview with Tony DiAngelo that Don welcomes Kelly
<v Speaker 2>back to the brand and said has a last to
<v Speaker 2>say about Izzie Dane, but he wants to respect the
<v Speaker 2>guidelines for the CW networks. Uh, he's here, but he
<v Speaker 2>respects the fact that SAX was looking out for him.
<v Speaker 2>That Don plans on finished business with Sean Spears. So
<v Speaker 2>there's a just so you're aware, there's a NXT North
<v Speaker 2>American title later that night between Seawan Spears and Tony DiAngelo,
<v Speaker 2>and we'll talk about that second match. We have again
<v Speaker 2>back to back women's matches. I just want to point
<v Speaker 2>that out. I have to point out every time it happens.
<v Speaker 2>The second match Jada Parker versus Colonnie Jordan. Again, these
<v Speaker 2>two cook. It was a great match. I love the
<v Speaker 2>stuff that they do. Both of them are just amazing.
<v Speaker 2>In the end, Jada Parker wins and Claudie Jordan. Ever
<v Speaker 2>since losing the North American women's title, which was a
<v Speaker 2>while ago at this point because Vallon Handley now Stephanie
<v Speaker 2>have had it for quite some time, she's on a
<v Speaker 2>like air I want to hear, like a five or
<v Speaker 2>six match losing streak. They gotta figure out what to
<v Speaker 2>do with her because right now she's just like she's
<v Speaker 2>like the punk loser. Anyway, Jordan. At the end of
<v Speaker 2>the match, Jordan went for a four to fifty splash
<v Speaker 2>and Parker ducked out of the way and connected with
<v Speaker 2>her hypnotic, which is basically her doing hip bump to
<v Speaker 2>somebody's head, you know, running by. So it's a It
<v Speaker 2>was a great match. It was a good match. Love Jada,
<v Speaker 2>Love love Colonie. They're just they're great. So I had
<v Speaker 2>said in the past that I didn't understand why they
<v Speaker 2>do these. They did this before. They're doing these press
<v Speaker 2>conferences during the NXT show. I know, I know it's
<v Speaker 2>for quote, the show of it, but there's one hundred
<v Speaker 2>and sixty eight hours in the week. You can't figure
<v Speaker 2>out one of the other one hundred and sixty six
<v Speaker 2>hours to have a press conference. It's not during the
<v Speaker 2>show itself, because the way they make it look is
<v Speaker 2>they're doing this press commence during the entire show. We're
<v Speaker 2>only seeing glimpses of it. Anyway, we go to the
<v Speaker 2>press conference. Was oba Fe after this, after the the
<v Speaker 2>last match, talking about his title of defense against Moose
<v Speaker 2>at NXT Roadblock. Very much looking forward to to the clash,
<v Speaker 2>and he won't let somebody from TNA walk around with
<v Speaker 2>the NXT championship. But he's very impressed with M's performance
<v Speaker 2>against Lexus King. And yeah, so, by the way, I
<v Speaker 2>didn't mention this, and this this is awesome. My father
<v Speaker 2>and I And by the way, love my father, God
<v Speaker 2>bless my father. He really helped me this. He and
<v Speaker 2>I are going to Roadblock next week and I cannot wait.
<v Speaker 2>So next week when I do my review, it's going
<v Speaker 2>to be from the perspective of being there live, being
<v Speaker 2>an NXT live. So excited about this and just and
<v Speaker 2>not just any NXT show, Stephanie and Julia, Oba and
<v Speaker 2>Moose like all the all the things. Oh my god,
<v Speaker 2>I cannot wait, so looking forward to it. Then we
<v Speaker 2>had a Julian Stephanie video package just to hype up
<v Speaker 2>the match next week. Next we had the Hardy Boys
<v Speaker 2>and they came out and talked about, you know, they
<v Speaker 2>talked up being back at the w w E, being
<v Speaker 2>the tag the TNA Tag champions. Hank and Tank come
<v Speaker 2>out and try to ask them for advice on you know,
<v Speaker 2>how to how to be bigger, how to be better,
<v Speaker 2>and they both talking about extreme This was kind of
<v Speaker 2>a hockey exchange. Then uh yeah. Then Josh Briggs and
<v Speaker 2>and a Mora come out and they all start brawling
<v Speaker 2>with each other, Hanking, Tank and and Josh Breesen Animora
<v Speaker 2>and then Phraxium. Hardy's turned around in Fraxine and is
<v Speaker 2>standing behind them, and it's just it's just hype for
<v Speaker 2>next week. Rowblock God, the Hardys and Phraxium Obafemi and Moose,
<v Speaker 2>Julian Stephanie like I can't wait. I can't freaking wait.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Dan, there's a little snippet about w
<v Speaker 2>w LFG. It turns out that they said that the
<v Speaker 2>four coaches, well we know Booker T is always there,
<v Speaker 2>that the four coaches are going to be there at
<v Speaker 2>Madison Square Garden at an XT, which means the Undertaker
<v Speaker 2>is going to be there, Bubba Rae and Mickey James
<v Speaker 2>in addition to Bucker T. I can't wait to go,
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I can't wait. Third match is a
<v Speaker 2>third match women's match. So far, there has not been
<v Speaker 2>a men's match. Jordan Grace versus Courage eight. As I
<v Speaker 2>said before, Masha Slamovich was out watching the match in
<v Speaker 2>the crowd. This was this match was interesting. So they
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of back and forth before the commercial
<v Speaker 2>they go to commercial. I actually so I fast forward
<v Speaker 2>to the commercials, but they had the picture in picture.
<v Speaker 2>When I got back from commercial, there was a doctor
<v Speaker 2>in the ring with Kora Jaide and he ended up
<v Speaker 2>taking her out of the ring and the referee called
<v Speaker 2>the match for Jordan Grace. I didn't see what happened because,
<v Speaker 2>like I said, I was fast forward to the commercial.
<v Speaker 2>So I rewound to look at the picture and picture
<v Speaker 2>and it looks like Korage Aide just hit the corner
<v Speaker 2>turnbuckle wonky and hit her head. If that's what it
<v Speaker 2>seemed like, I'm gonna find out more information. I'll let
<v Speaker 2>you know what I find out. But but yeah, they
<v Speaker 2>so that they came back from commercial and they immediately
<v Speaker 2>stopped the match. So I thought that was interesting. I
<v Speaker 2>hope Cory j as okay. Listen, she's a heel. I
<v Speaker 2>love Jordan Grace, but I don't wish any ill will
<v Speaker 2>in anybody, So I hope, I hope Cory jd is okay, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>So it's called doctor stoppage. Also, next week got NXT Roadblock.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, another match that I can't wait to see.
<v Speaker 2>Eaton Page and Javon Evans and New York City Street Fight. Wow,
<v Speaker 2>that's the fourth huge match of the night, I mean
<v Speaker 2>just wow. The fourth match of the night is Trick
<v Speaker 2>Williams versus Cale Dixon. Basically Kale Dixon's in the ring,
<v Speaker 2>Trick comes out hits him with a huge trick shot
<v Speaker 2>like that his face he's bounced off of, bounced off
<v Speaker 2>of Trick Williams's knee and knocked him out, and the
<v Speaker 2>doctors doctor stuff that match too, that was that was
<v Speaker 2>a work though, that was definitely a work. The thing
<v Speaker 2>with Cory j that was not a work. They would
<v Speaker 2>not hap they were not expecting that. The thing with
<v Speaker 2>Trick and killed Dixon, that was a work. Like you
<v Speaker 2>could tell that that was supposed to happen. So Trick
<v Speaker 2>grabs the mic afterwards tells Eddie Thorpe to come out.
<v Speaker 2>Eddie appears um and says that Trick is really having
<v Speaker 2>a hard time and that Eddie says that he has
<v Speaker 2>destroy Trick to show the NX universe that he's the man.
<v Speaker 2>Eddie challenges Trick to an NX Underground match in two weeks,
<v Speaker 2>So no Trick Williams next week, listen. I can't expect everybody.
<v Speaker 2>M Then we have Roxanne Perez attacking Jordan Grace with
<v Speaker 2>a steel chair in the back stage area. Then Moose
<v Speaker 2>is at the podium at the Quote press conference where
<v Speaker 2>he talks about Obafemi. It's gonna be does this this
<v Speaker 2>is a Vince McMahon's special, Like two big dudes beating
<v Speaker 2>the crap out each other each other Vince loved that.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, this was this was destined to happen at
<v Speaker 2>some point. Ava then announces that Jordan Grace will better
<v Speaker 2>Rock Battle Rock Samparesident Roadblock. Oh my god, so we
<v Speaker 2>have now this fifth match. All these matches are fire fire.
<v Speaker 2>I told you, I can't wait to go. Valon Heley
<v Speaker 2>wants to know why she hasn't gotten her rematch. Avis
<v Speaker 2>says they can discuss in their time. Aba walks away
<v Speaker 2>from the podium and continues to complain. Then we have
<v Speaker 2>Ricky States running into Ridge Holland in the backstage area.
<v Speaker 2>Ridg says he knows who Ricky is. He refuses to
<v Speaker 2>shake Ricky's hand. Rich said, is that Ricky doesn't belong
<v Speaker 2>in NXT. Ricky tells Ridge that he's that he'll see
<v Speaker 2>him around. Ricky Neely bumps into Sean Spears. Now again,
<v Speaker 2>Shawn Spears and Ricky spar. Ricky Saints. Now, Ricky Saints.
<v Speaker 2>We're both in aw together. They have a history together
<v Speaker 2>to this, says, such such good stuff, such good stuff.
<v Speaker 2>Matt needs to be watching NXT. Somebody tell him. Spears
<v Speaker 2>tells Ricky that the revolution will be televised when he
<v Speaker 2>becomes the NXT North American Champion. Then we have the
<v Speaker 2>last match, the main event, which is Tony D'Angelo against
<v Speaker 2>Sean Spears with both of their families for the NXT
<v Speaker 2>North American Championship. This was a phenomenal match. Listen, Tony's
<v Speaker 2>the Angelo. To me, he's n XT all the way.
<v Speaker 2>I don't see him ever going to the main roster.
<v Speaker 2>Think he's very good, and they're very comfortable where he is.
<v Speaker 2>But he's really good at what he does. He's good
<v Speaker 2>at the character work obviously, and he's he's a good wrestler.
<v Speaker 2>He's not a great wrestler. He's good for NXT. He's good.
<v Speaker 2>That's it. That's the end of the story. But he
<v Speaker 2>was a good North American champion. Unfortunately for this night
<v Speaker 2>on March fourth, twenty twenty five, he ended up losing
<v Speaker 2>the North American title to Sean Spears. There was a
<v Speaker 2>lot of Shenanians going on between the families, but ultimately
<v Speaker 2>the wind itself was kind of clean, like, yeah, there
