Hello and welcome to the NXT review. I'm Adam Wilborn from WhatCulture joined by the

deadly boys of WhatCulture, Michael Hamble and Michael Cedric through you. Everything

that happened on last night's episode of NXT. But before we get into it, if you're a fan

rubbish. I'm starting to like enough for these people that I wish they were doing this stuff

somewhere else. Not particularly life-affirming show for me. My problems with the format and the

philosophy and the production style and all the rest of it, a long standing at this point.
