Due to work constraints, it took me two days to watch this episode \u2013 not an indication on quality of the show, but the absolute lack of time on my end\u2026here we go!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roxanne Perez vs. Tatum Paxley: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bias alert! Anything revolving a segment, match, etc. with Paxley is hard for me to give a Miss to, but with that disclaimer out of the way, I thought this was more of a good showing for Perez than Paxley. Paxley had her moments, but Perez was given the chance to show her new found aggressive side, which I think benefits her character greatly. She is becoming more sadistic in her targeted attacks and I love the transition from Pop Rocks to the Arm Bar as a finisher. My only critique for Perez would be to mute her colors a bit. Her intro wall and trunks are a little too colorful for a heel (opinion). She recently wore a black\/white combo which I felt represented her new character far better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oba Femi\/Dijak\/Josh Briggs: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to see a smash mouth big man match between these three. I actually like the light hearted inclusion of \u201cWhite Shaft and Briggs\u2019 reaction to Dijak\u2019s line regarding his skin color. Please add this big man triple threat to Stand &amp; Deliver!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Axiom &amp; Nathan Frazer vs. The No Quarter Catch Crew: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wow, what an awesome match! Every time I see Frazer wrestle I am amazed at how fast this man can move and how \u2018natural\u2019 it looks. I know there are people who don\u2019t go for the \u201cflip-flop\u201d type of wrestling and I admit, many times it seems way too choreographed, but Frazer just is like a liquid the way he moves. I was totally against the pairing of Axiom and Frazer when they started to team up, but the pairing has grown on me and I\u2019d wouldn\u2019t mind seeing them get a run with the gold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sol Ruca vs. Brinley Reece: Minor Hit<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2879461623\" 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>Sol\u2019s back from injury, so I understand keeping her first few return matches short and sweet. Obviously Reece is a work in progress, but her \u201cpeppy\u201d attitude hasn\u2019t reached a level of annoyance on me; possibly because our last \u201cpeppy\u201d performer (Roxanne Perez) has transitioned to a more serious performer. I can only handle so much \u2018peppy\u2019 at my age!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drew Gulak vs. Riley Osborne: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I really enjoy these Heritage Cup matches (going back to its introduction in NXT U.K.) and I liked the babyface getting the first fall. It usually seems like the face has the uphill climb to get back into the match and giving Osborne that first fall made it fun to watch the defending heel on the chase. I thought the sequence of events leading to the deciding fall was unnecessary, as they could have advanced the Thea Hail \/ Jacy Jayne storyline in other ways. I wish they\u2019d allow one person per competitor in the respective corners, as opposed to the mosh pit the outside turns into during these Heritage Cup matches. That\u2019s why that person is called the competitors SECOND!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Good Brothers vs. Hank &amp; Tank: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hank and Tank gain everything in the loss. Two rookies working with guys the caliber of Gallows and Anderson will help their developmental climb. Really looking forward to the match with The Good Brothers, the L.W.O. and Axiom\/Frazier. It\u2019ll be an interesting dynamic of two high flying teams against the more ground and pound style of Gallows and Anderson<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trick Williams vs. Noam Dar: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A far more competitive match than I expected. I continue to be surprised at the meteoric rise of Williams. I always thought he\u2019d be a sidekick or lower card wrestler, but he\u2019s got that rocket strapped to his back and is making the most of it. Noam Dar bias alert! Is always a pleasure to watch and he brought a lot of good out of Trick. Although there was the tease of Lash Legend taking that shot at Trick, I liked the subtle way that although Dar\u2019s foot was very close to the rope, she didn\u2019t drape it over like we\u2019ve seen done in the past. A possible Trick Legend duo in the future?<\/p>\n<p>And so, we\u2019ve reached the end of another Hits and Misses where I haven\u2019t critiqued Booker on commentary (here, but you should hearing me shouting in my den!). Great continuous build to Stand &amp; Deliver and I\u2019m really looking forward to that PLE\u2026\u2019til next week!<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1874956679\" 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<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3226545511\"><div id=\"pwtor-3043871789\"><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>Another week, another round of Hits &amp; Misses!
