My friend and I walked into the venue as the Velveteen Dream made his entrance.\u00a0 He immediately said that Dream has the vibe of Jimi Hendrix and had a cool aura. Solid back-and-forth action during the match.\u00a0 The crowd was chanting Too Sweet on all of the pinfalls where the wrestlers kicked out at two.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Liv Morgan &amp; Ruby Riot beat Bianca Bel Air &amp; Sonya Deville in 12:00. Bel Air had a nice physique.\u00a0 She had very long hair and she used it as a whip halfway through the match and hit Liv Morgan with it as the crowd was chanting &#8220;Who are you?&#8221; That hair whip spot immediately got a pop out the crowd and they stopped chanting &#8220;Who are you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0Johnny Gargano pinned Killian Dane in 12:00. Killian Dane had an unpleasant awkward presence to him with the nasty looking hair on his chest, back, and legs.\u00a0 The crowd chanted &#8220;hairy bastard.&#8221; \u00a0I noticed on the video wall during Johnny Gargano\u2019s entrance that it only said Gargano and not Johnny.\u00a0 So maybe he will just be going by Gargano for now on. My friend said it was like watching a match between David and Goliath.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Alister Black beat Andrade Cein Almas in 12:00.\u00a0 Both men were pretty impressive.\u00a0 My friend noted that Andrade gives off a cool vibe like Eddie Guerrero. I couldn\u2019t disagree with him. This was a hard hitting match and Black ended up getting the victory using the Black Mask.<\/p>\n<p>After this match was an intermission.<\/p>\n<p>(5) Sanity (Eric Young &amp; Alexander Wolfe) beat Heavy Machinery in 15:00.\u00a0 Heavy Machinery dominated most of the match.\u00a0 They were extremely over with the crowd by using a variety of different Bear Hugs.\u00a0 I want to say around six minutes of the match Young and Wolfe were stuck in different Bear Hugs.\u00a0 The crowd was chanting &#8220;Bear Hug City.&#8221; \u00a0They were also chanting &#8220;Steaks and Weights.&#8221; \u00a0This was by far the most entertaining match of the night.\u00a0 At one point during the match Eric Young was waiting to get tagged into the match and it didn\u2019t happen.\u00a0 Someone in the crowd in the front row was yelling at Eric, so he ran across the apron to the other side and did a super kick in the air towards the fan.\u00a0 It was around 15 feet away from the fan and it scared the crap out of him but he sold it like he got hit with the super kick in the face.\u00a0 Eric Young ended up pinning one of the members of Heavy Machinery for the win off of a neck breaker from the second rope.<\/p>\n<p>During that match there was a short petite woman walking around in the crowd, dressed exactly like Nikki Cross.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t Nikki but everyone got a nice pop out of it.\u00a0 She was interviewed after the match and participated in announcing the participants for the next match.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4062991606\" 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) Ember Moon beat Mandy Rose via submission in 10:00.\u00a0My friend said that Mandy Rose has a really good look and has good heel mannerisms.\u00a0 She stared down a very large man in the crowd then scoffed at him and looked disgusted.\u00a0 Similar to what Alexa Bliss would do. Mandy Rose did look better in the ring than I thought she would, so I was happily impressed.<\/p>\n<p>(7) Kassius Ohno &amp; Drew McIntyre vs. Hideo Itami &amp; Bobby Roode.\u00a0 Drew came across like a star. He was tall, had an intense look, and gave off a great presence.\u00a0 Roode also looked great and had a cool presence, but Drew was on another level. \u00a0At one point during the match Drew had a stare down with Hideo in the middle of the ring.\u00a0 Drew looked massive compared to Itami.\u00a0 I was not able to stay the entire match and left around the 10 minute mark so I don\u2019t know who won.<\/p>\n<p>Overall the show was around two-and-a-half hours.\u00a0 This was my first NXT Live show.\u00a0 My friend and I had a really good time and will definitely go again next time they are back in town.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-420437661\"><div id=\"pwtor-1041535059\"><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>NXT LIVE EVENT REPORT JULY 27, 2017 MILWAUKEE, WISC.
