Rawkfist, PWTorch reader<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Packed house. They didn&#8217;t have anyone\u00a0in the upper levels. Curious that WWE wouldn&#8217;t put those seats for sale, but the lower level seemed about 90 percent full. Very intimate venue for wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>They had a huge screen for the entrances, which was great. Most house shows I go to don&#8217;t even have that. The fans were great and were chanting the whole show.<\/p>\n<p>(1) No Way Jose beat Blake.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Riddick Moss beat local wrestler John Skyler.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Carmella beat Peyton Royce. Carmella is drop dead gorgeous and was very over with crowd.<\/p>\n<p>(4) NXT tag champions American Alpha (Jason Jordan &amp; Chad Gable) beat The Revival (Dash &amp; Dawson). Another good match from these two teams. Very fun. The crowd was into it.<\/p>\n<p>(5) &#8220;The Drifter&#8221; Elias Samson beat Alex Riley. Drifter had Riley in a headlock for what seemed like an eternity. The crowd was chanting &#8220;chinlock city&#8221; and booing this match from the start. By far the worst match.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3521222293\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>(6) NXT Women&#8217;s champion Asuka beat Eva Marie to retain her Women&#8217;s Title, following up on Thursday&#8217;s angle. Eva Marie could do no right. She&#8217;s gotten better in the ring&#8230; but the crowd just hated her. Asuka gave up too much offense, I thought, but it was fine.<\/p>\n<p>(7) Nakamura beat Manny Andrade. Great match. This was\u00a0Nakamura&#8217;s first singles house show match, and it was a fun showcase match. The crowd treated these guys like superstars. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2016\/04\/08\/nakamuras-first-injury-situation-nxt-roster\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nakamura got cut in the middle of the match. Doctors treated him immediately<\/a>. But, nothing like Joe vs. Balor.<\/p>\n<p>(8) NXT champion Finn Balor &amp;\u00a0Austin Aries beat Baron Corbin &amp;\u00a0Tye Dillinger. Very fun main event. Corbin got great heat and Balor got the best reaction of the night. Balor\u00a0and Nakamura were close.<\/p>\n<p>This was my first NXT show and it didn&#8217;t disappoint. Great matches and it felt like a big deal. NXT crowds are best. I love the personalized poster with the line-up on it.\u00a0Definitely recommended for\u00a0readers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2016\/04\/NXTPoster.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16065\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16065\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2016\/04\/NXTPoster-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"NXTPoster\" width=\"532\" height=\"709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2016\/04\/NXTPoster-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2016\/04\/NXTPoster-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2025088572\"><div id=\"pwtor-2217594378\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE NXT Live Results April 8, 2016 Columbia, S.C.
