I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Advertised matches:

NXT Title match: Pete Dunne vs Finn Balor (c)
Triple Threat match for the women's championship: Io Shirai (c) vs Toni Storm vs Mercades Martinez (Formerly of Retribution)
NXT NA Championship Match: Johnny Gargano (c) vs KUSHIDA
Men's Dusty Classic Finals: MSK (Formerally known as The Rascalz) vs Grizzled Young Vets
Women's Dusty Classic Finals: Dakota Kai & Raquel González vs Shotzi Blackheart & Ember Moon

A telling tale that so many talented people working for the biggest wrestling promotion in the world didn't have a thread until it's already started.

Also Eli Drake (Dummy? Dummy, yeah!) has signed with the WWE and has a dumb name.

Raquel has benefited a lot by being paired with Kai, it's one of the few things that NXT does fairly well. Unfortunately she'll also get called up before she's ready and put in a position to fail on the main roster

Referee was certainly doing what he needed to do, by stopping a pinfall by rolling into the ring because all WWE referees have short attention spans.

And then Ember arguing about him not seeing the tag, instead of just tagging Shotzi in

I think I feel worse for Ember than Kairi. Ember was a once in a lifetime rookie on the indies and signed with the WWE while she was still young and has done poo poo-all since. Ember's been in NXT 6 years, that's longer than the entire Attitude Era.

It just seems when she has certain spots to do she pauses to do them where it somewhat is obvious she is running the move through her head?

Just caught the last 5+ minutes or so but I thought the bit I saw was real fun. WWE really does have a ridiculous amount of women's talent right now

From what I've seen, Shotzi isn't an technical wizard or anything but she more than makes up for it with Presence and also a willingness to do insane poo poo

Speaking as someone who hates nearly every unnecessary gimmick change they do when they bring people to NXT/the WWE, I'm still completely, utterly baffled that "submission wrestler who's really into Back to the Future" somehow survived.

This whole card looks like a great PWG show from 4 years ago. It's still good, just not as good as it could be because WWE.
