SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
NXT LIVE EVENT
OCTOBER 27, 2017
DES MOINES, IOWA
REPORT BY JOHNNY MYHERS, PWTORCH CORRESPONDENT
Similar venue Waterloo uses for Hall of Fame weekend – warehouse-like with no elevated seating.
Approximately 300 in attendance. Show began right on time at 7:30.
(1) Roderick Strong defeated Fabian Aichner in 10:00.
(2) Kairi Sane defeated Vanessa Borne with her sensational elbow in 8:00.
(3) Killian Dane beat Brennen Williams in 12:00. Dane as a future nxt babyface should be fun.
(4) Lars Sullivan defeated Kassius Ohno in 10:00. The crowd very much liked Ohno, very much feared Sullivan. This was a good showcase of Lars’s progress. I am not sure Ohno ever makes it out of NXT. His basketball jersey look, not a fan.
(5) Sanity beat Fish & O’Reilly via countout in 12:00. The crowd was pro-Sanity. It was Bobby Fish’s birthday.
(6) Ember Moon defeated Bonica Belair in 10:00. Moon got biggest pop of night to this point.
(7) Aleister Black pinned Velvetine Dream in 15:00. This was the best match of night so far. Undeniable chemistry between the two opposites. The crowd was really into it. This has a chance to be a money NXT feud. Excellent.
(8) Drew McIntyre beat Adam Cole and Andrade Cien Almas when Drew pinned Albas in 23:00. Great action, all three delivered as expected. Almas was legit and is on a bit of a roll. Adam Cole got the biggest pop of night. The crowd treated him like the night’s biggest star. They love his “bay bay” chant.
Undisputed Era attacked Drew after match, Sanity made save. McIntyre kicked Cole’s face off to close out show.
FINAL THOUGHTS: No one left unhappy, no one left blown away. The Dream-Black feud really has a chance to be special.
Wrestling Revolver tomorrow night
-Callihan vs Swagger
-Cobb vs Riddle
QUICK TIPS FOR SENDING RESULTS
If you attend an arena event in future, either house shows or TV tapings, we encourage you to send us a report for publication. You can direct your reports to: pwtorch@pwtorch.com.
We accept reports in any format, but if it’s not much trouble, please format your report like you see above, with the matches numbered like this (1) , (2) , (3) , with the opening line of each match paragraph stating who beat whom (don’t just say Wrestler A vs. Wrestler beat with the result listed later; instead, state up front who won so those readers who don’t have time to read the entire report (i. e. their boss walks past their cubicle all the time looking beat their shoulder) can at least quickly assess the results.
Also, please list tag teams using the “&” symbol as opposed to stating “and. ” Reserve use of ” and” when listing results in a three-way or four-way match where there are no teams (i. e. ” Wrestler A beat Wrestler B and Wrestler C in a three-way match” ) so it is easy to differentiate a handicap match from a three-way match.
