In my opinion, this might have been the best Adam Cole has performed ever in NXT.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Don\u2019t get me wrong, his performances in War Games and his saga versus Aleister Black were outstanding, but this was different, we actually got to watch Cole wrestle.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>His style was very traditional and fundamental, no big moves, just standard classics like good old neck breakers and body slams. He even had a series of moves that concluded the match with fireman\u2019s carry into the neck breaker, followed by the Last Shot and finished up with a Shining Wizard. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>He also kept the match at a slow pace that went well with his constant trash talking.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>His was somewhat reminiscent of his days in ROH.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Danny Burch was good during the match as well with his usual hard strikes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>His climax might have been when he hit cole with the Tower of London, but after that he never really recovered.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>With this win, Cole looks like a strong champion.<\/p>\n<p><b>Undisputed Era vs. Mustache Mountain (Tag Team Championship Match):<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This was an excellent match.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Right after the bell rang, UE went attacked the British Strong Style reps but they soon gained control.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>As the match went on, the story developed, Trent Seven was still nursing a leg injury and the UE, like a shark sensing blood, exchanged tags as they exploited Seven\u2019s injury, taking turns either stomping on it or in one hold or another.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The story got deeper towards the conclusion of the match when Seven was in a hold that surely had him in pain.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>As Tyler Bate watched on in agony, he just couldn\u2019t take it anymore and threw in the white towel.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Once again the UE has the titles marking a great feat by being two time champions, an accomplishment that only one other team has achieved. What does this mean for Mustache Mountain?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Would there be any animosity moving forward? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>MISSES<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong>None:<\/strong>\u00a0With two strong matches, definitely a decent show.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Final Thoughts&#8230;<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Great show with two extremely good matches.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The night definitely belonged to the Undisputed Era.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We also saw an altercation between Candice LaRae and Shayna Baszler and Aleister Black first being confronted by a crazed Johnny Gargano then later attacked by Tomasso Ciampa.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The other two matches of the night were just mediocre &#8211; not terrible, but not good either.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Overall, the flow of the show was smart as they lead and concluded on high notes and had all the fluff in between.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THE TV REPORT ON THIS EPISODE:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/07\/11\/7-11-nxt-tv-report-jamess-report-on-adam-cole-vs-danny-burch-kairi-sane-vs-vanessa-bourne-moustache-mountain-vs-oreilly-strong\/\">7\/11 NXT TV REPORT: James\u2019s report on Adam Cole vs. Danny Burch, Kairi Sane vs. Vanessa Bourne, Moustache Mountain vs. O\u2019Reilly &amp; Strong<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3730176716\"><div id=\"pwtor-2368376144\"><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>HITS Adam Cole vs. Danny Burch (North American Championship Match): This was a very good, technically sound match.\u00a0 It could be seen from the onset through the exchange of excellent arm grappling.
