The match was solid and although I think the right team went over (Wilde and Del Toro are at another level in the past couple of months), I worry about the damage done to OTM. Yes, they\u2019re rookies and have time to recoup, but their losses are starting to rack up and I wonder that even if they turn the corner and start to get on the winning track, if they will be too damaged to be taken seriously.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roxanne Perez promo: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I know, I was in the minority when it came to The Prodigy. Yes, she was great in the ring, but the \u201cI\u2019m happy to be here\u201d babyface grinds on my nerves more often than not and that was the case with Perez. THIS Perez I love! She used solid heel logic to explain her newfound aggression and I\u2019m excited to see how far she\u2019ll go with her new persona.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Family\/Ilya Dragunov segments: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not everyone\u2019s cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoy these cinematically produced segments. For those that grips that an abduction took place and no one alerted the authorities need to realize: it\u2019s pro wrestling \u2013 you either have to suspend your disbelief completely or not at all. It\u2019s part of the resurging story telling that was missing for so long at one time (and still is in some places) and that\u2019s part of what makes it fun for this viewer. I felt everyone played their parts well and I\u2019ve grown to like the over the top Italian mob boss character of Tony D\u2019Angelo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lexis King vs. Mr. Robert Stone: Minor Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m glad to see Stone more time in the ring. This receives more of a minor hit simply because there wasn\u2019t much to the match and served more as an advancement in the Stone\/King\/Wagen storyline. I still say that King\u2019s entrance in the throne is one of my favorite entrances!<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1927458678\" 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><strong>Oba Femi vs. Brooks Jensen: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Looking to make someone look like an absolute dominant powerhouse? Reference this match. I continue to be amazed at the progress of Femi. He just oozes credibility. Jensen bumped and sold his ass off and the inclusion of Briggs into the match set up a down the road match up between he and Femi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arianna Grace vs. Gigi Dolan: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve often wondered why more low blows don\u2019t occur in women\u2019s wrestling matches. I had an ex-girlfriend tell me one time that they hurt like hell, so I thought this was an unique turn of the stereotypical men\u2019s low blows. I find myself really liking the over-the-top antics of Grace and I think this could lead to some interesting vignettes between her and Dolan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kiana James &amp; Izzy Dame vs. Thea Hail &amp; Fallon Henley: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The match was good and I was happy A: I received my weekly dose of Fallon and B: we\u2019re on track for my favorite version of Thea Hail. Another match designed to further advance storylines will never fall short with me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shawn Spears vs. Ridge Holland: Minor Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The match was all right and I think that Holland working with Spears will help his in-ring work. I know it\u2019s a long shot, but I would love to see a faction created by Spears recruiting some angry, lost souls. I\u2019ve read reports of people downplaying Spears\u2019 re-signing, but he has the ability to teach and train a lot of new guys in the business, so as a veteran in the ring, I think he could prove invaluable.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3594745666\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Trick Williams promo: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trick continues to be one of the most over performers on the NXT roster. His interactions with Lash Legend showed a different level of coolness from the character. When he first debuted, I would have NEVER imagined the heights he\u2019s reached as a solo performer. Good on him for all of the work and effort he\u2019s put into become the fan favorite he is today. Should he have a match against Carmelo Hayes at Stand and Deliver, the roof should blow off the place!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2024\/03\/12\/nxt-tv-results-3-12-hazelwoods-live-report-on-femi-defending-against-jensen-o-t-m-vs-lwo-holland-vs-spears-dolin-vs-grace-more\/\">NXT TV RESULTS (3\/12): Hazelwood\u2019s live report on Femi defending against Jensen, O.T.M. vs. LWO, Holland vs. Spears, Dolin vs. Grace, more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR CHECK THIS OUT AT PROWRESTLING.NET:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2024\/03\/13\/powells-nxt-hit-list-trick-williams-and-noam-dar-oba-femi-vs-brooks-jensen-for-the-nxt-north-american-title-shawn-spears-vs-ridge-holland-thea-hail-and-fallon-henley-vs-kiana-james-and-izzi-d\/\">Powell\u2019s NXT Hit List: Trick Williams and Noam Dar, Oba Femi vs. Brooks Jensen for the NXT North American Title, Shawn Spears vs. Ridge Holland, Thea Hail and Fallon Henley vs. Kiana James and Izzi Dame<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1338947674\"><div id=\"pwtor-3422938312\"><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>OTM Lucian Price &amp; Bronco Nima vs. LWO Cruz Del Toro &amp; Joaquin Wilde: Hit Classic \u2018big men\u2019 versus \u2018little men\u2019 match up.
