Percy is the MVP of that video though.

What I love about that video (besides everything) is the fact that it shows how much every NXT announcer, even Percy, isn't afraid to lose their poo poo.

rovert: Jun 10, 2013; I got your scoops right here.

Nixon Newell seems to be finally cleared to return to action. NXT had her knee surgically repaired when she reported to the Performance Center. She has been recovering for about a year now. If you don't follow UK indies she's about to become your new favourite wrestler.

God bless whoever had the idea of having a Mauro Ranallo cam. He is truly the English equivalent of Shinpei Nogami from NJPW but even more animated. gently caress JBL forever.

Can't wait for Mauro to get attacked by a bald, bearded guy who constantly paints his face like Garfield.

I will always defend my boy Mauro because gently caress, at least he seems to care. Cole (barring his WM30 calls) is just so rote nowadays that it robs even the coolest poo poo of impact sometime. At least Corey is trying to carry it.

I saw Nixon a few times at Axxess, she was mostly hanging around with Kay Lee Ray, and she looked like she was chomping at the bit to get back in the ring. I�m excited for her.

Meltzer gave both the ladder and Gargano/Ciampa matches 5 stars.

I guess he liked TakeOver.

There are also only 5 5-Star matches in WWE ever that aren�t in 2018

Cena/Punk - 2011 MITB
Austin/Bret - WM13
Michaels/Undertaker HIAC - Badd Blood
Razor Ramon/Michaels ladder match - WM10
Bret/Owen cage match - SummerSlam 94

Basically Gargano is as good as Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart.

NXT doesn't have any five star matches, starts pushing Gargano and Cole and suddenly has three of them. Hmmmmm.

I could've sworn Naito/Tanahashi from last year's Dominion got 5, but yeah no, looks like this is the first one

I believe there was an AJW tag tournament back in the day where both the final block match and the actual final, both between the same teams, each got 5.
