I remember seeing them feud and wasn\u2019t sure how they would work as a team, but I love them together. Legend and Jackson kept up pretty well with the two more seasoned wrestlers. They gave them a decent amount of time to tell a good story. I never felt the outcome was in question, but there were a couple of near falls to help keep you guessing. Lash has definitely improved and I felt this was one of Jackson\u2019s best showings in NXT. I hope they keep the titles on Fyre and Dawn for a bit, rather than the hot potato style we\u2019ve seen since the belts introduction. Fun continuation of the Mensah\/Page feud at the end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tony D\u2019Angelo fs. Tavion Heights for The Heritage Cup: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although I don\u2019t believe that the Don character will resonate on the main roster, Tony D\u2019Angelo has been elevated by The Heritage Cup. I think he\u2019s had some of his past matches on NXT. The Cup\u2019s style benefits D\u2019Angelo\u2019s style. I wasn\u2019t sold when he won it, but I look forward to his defenses. Height held his own during the match, I\u2019m surprised he\u2019s been buried down deep in the roster. Nice to see him get some attention. I still don\u2019t know how Wren Sinclair fits into this whole thing, but color me interested.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooks Jensen vs. Cedric Alexander: Minor Hit<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Surprising result to the match. Alexander has become a bit of a gate keeper and I fully expected him to take the loss to Jensen, who seemed like he was on the verge of a mini push with Shawn Spears. I\u2019m sure this is just another chapter down the road to Jensen becoming a true prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Spear\u2019s. On a weird side note: how long has Jensen wrestled in Converses? I\u2019m trying to remember if I\u2019ve ever seen that before. I\u2019ve owned those before and they offer almost zero support, so good on him, if he can wrestle a match wearing them!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Je\u2019von Evans vignette: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I loved this. What an amazing young man. He came off as so likable and real. He\u2019s special and his stories were heartwarming. More of this kind of stuff, please.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1336985282\" 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>The Rascalz Treehouse: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Good fun with the re-united trio. I loved Wes Lee\u2019s solo run, but I think there is a hell of a lot of fun to be had with these guys. I also love the thought of the NXT tag titles represented and defended over the NXT and TNA brands. I still think I\u2019m dreaming at times, watching another company so prominently featured on a WWE show. This collaboration has been a ton of fun for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joe Hendry concert: Freaking Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A fun, silly and over the top popular segment with the crowd. As much as I hate to see Gallus being bit players, they make great foils for Joe Hendry. I wonder who Hendry will find as partners, as I\u2019m sure this will be headed to a six man tag at some point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kendal Grey vs. Jaida Parker: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I recently went back and watched some of Parker\u2019s older matches, has she come into her own. She seemed like a tack on to OTM, but in the end, OTM has been the background players to Ms. Parker. The whole Kendal Grey tossing around Myles Borne is\u2026unusual. I\u2019m not sure where that whole storyline is headed, but sadly it seems like it will be at the expense of The No Quarter Catch Crew.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jacy Jayne &amp; Jazmyn Nyx &amp; Fallon Henley vs. Sol Ruca &amp; Karmen Petrovic &amp; Lola Vice: Hit<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even though this was a random match up based on social media beef, they allowed the women a good chunk of time and I felt everyone had their moments to shine. Petrovic especially has advanced nicely and Ruca continues to pull out a new move or two in every match. Petrovic taking the loss makes sense, as she is the most \u201crookie\u201d of the bunch. I\u2019m old enough to remember when 5 on 5 Survivor Series matches had four more involved and yet were given a tenth of the time. Women\u2019s wrestling has truly evolved.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1408654654\" 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>Tatum Paxley sighting: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you follow this column regularly, what did you expect me to rate this?
