Looking forward to it.

Cesaro to appear at the show. Next challenger for WALTER? Reforming KOW with Ohno? Wait and see.

Anyone watched it yet?

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Hopefully this means Toni Storm is promoted to main roster

Anyone watched it yet?

Heard it was great and just went to start it but can't find anything other than the kick-off show on the network.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Most reviews suggesting the 42 minute main event borderline saved it.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

WALTER (c) vs Tyler Bate - interesting as performance art but wouldn't want a sequel of similar length

Toni Storm (c) vs Kay Lee Ray - forgettable

James Drake (c) and Zack Gibson (c) vs Flash Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews vs Mark Coffey and Wolfgang - good

Dave Mastiff vs Joe Coffey - good

Noam Dar vs Travis Banks - lacked WWE polish

Cesare vs some guy from the wrong side of the Iron Curtain - it was fine. When did Cesaro's music change?

 

[Cleavy]

Wouldn’t be opposed to Cesaro sticking around in NXT UK, mainly so we can get Cesaro vs WALTER. But Cesaro came across as a major star. I’m about to watch the main event and only the women’s match has been disappointing, although it told a good story.

 

[Cleavy]

Tyler Bate is great!

for those who love (to complain about) star ratings, Meltzer gave the WALTER vs Tyler Bate match 5 and 1/4 stars
