Recommendation of: WWE/NXT Halloween Havoc 2022 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there is flashing/colourful effects throughout

Carmelo Hayes [with Trick Williams] vs. Oro Mensah vs. Wes Lee vs. Von Wagner [with Mr. Stone] vs. Nathan Frazer; Ladder Match for the Vacant NXT North American Championship: this was an excellent way to begin this Premium Live Event, engage with its audience from the outset, with the high octane action and carnage associated with these kinds of stipulations so it won't disappoint you, but I have to bring the tone down for a second; Von Wegner is dangerous with a ladder. As he gets this bigger ladder from underneath the ring, he almost hits a member of the audience with the back end as he is pulling it out, I watched it on replay and there was space, but this is one of those occasions where it is a good thing that the audience member was paying attention, if you are looking for it obviously you have Wegner pulling it out from underneath the ring, but you have the crowd also indicating that was close [I do understand, that accidents do happen, but he just needs to be careful] and I will make two points at the end of this blog. This match/match slot receives: 8/10.

Apollo Crews vs. Grayson Waller; Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal: TBD Match: by the video package and this match slot even with its Horror/Halloween inclusion in the match outlay. This match/match slot receives: 7/10.

Roxanne Perez vs. Cora Jade; Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal: Weapons Wild Match: we have a high up [not telling you where] Russian leg sweep [I am going with that move] being performed, this is the spot [I mean that in a wrestling sense: it basically means something has been planned out in the match outlay, but I digress this is this is the spot that you have to look out for, when or if you come to watch this match. This match/match slot receives: 7/10.

Diamond Mine's Julius Creed vs. Damon Kemp; Ambulance Match; If Julius loses, Brutus Creed will have to leave NXT: it was solidly good encounter and that is all I have to say about it really. This match/match slot receives: 7/10.

Alba Fyre vs. the Women's Championship Toxic Attraction member Mandy Rose [with the other members Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne;] Singles match for the NXT Women's Championship: we have a Premium Live Event narrative through this event, they have gone with a cinematic approach which is lots of excellent fun and mix that with the entire experience, for those very picky people out there yes I am aware that this match only goes on for roughly 7 minutes. But they should be very happy with how this event narrative turned out The event narrative/match/match slot receives: 10/10.

Ilja Dragunov vs. JD McDonagh vs. the NXT Championship Bron Breakker; Triple Threat Match for the NXT Championship: this main event was/is a hard-hitting affair such as when Dragunov performs a coast-to-coast on not one but both of his competitors in this match. There was another reason why I chose to make reference at this specific time. I am paraphrasing kind of here Booker T. Throughout his ramblings makes reference to or something to that effect of these three competitors are in a nutshell fighting over the North American Championship, yes I know its official name is the NXT North American Championship, but they aren't. They are doing combat over the NXT Championship and just done a little bit of research of the ending of the main event we have chants of "AEW No" which I find disrespectful even though it is pro-NXT/WWE, it is just you have three competitors busting their posteriors off and a very tiny section of the audience can chants of another wrestling promotion.

The average mark of this pay-per-view is: 8/10, as you can clearly see all these matches are at minimum positive, okay we have some good match matches with an excellent match followed by two which were/are excellent fun or hard-hitting. Now finally on to my two points; 1. I can't stand Booker T.'s commentary it is terrible, it is extremely off-putting, I have no idea what he is doing on NXT, considering he has never been at minimum wrestling on this brand. So I don't know maybe get somebody that has actually some experience of NXT like Percy Watson and before they said his name yes I am aware he was doing this on this brand only roughly 3 years ago. 2. Because myself being a bit burned out, what with their matches being good but just that and with Booker T.'s commentary I fell asleep about. But after everything is said and done I am still happy to give the mark I have, just someone in the hierarchy of the new regime please, remove Booker T. from NX T Premium Live Event commentary.
