Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House 07/06/2020: Match 6/Part 6/Conclusion by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House 07/06/2020: Match 6/Part 6/Conclusion by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Match/Stipulations: Rhea Ripley vs. Io Shirai vs. the NXT Women's Champion Charlotte Flair: Triple Threat for the NXT Women's Championship.

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 10/10

Match Storyline: 10/10

Crowd Participation: 10/10

On Commentary: Beth Phoenix, Mauro Ranallo & Tom Phillips 10/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 10/10

Recommend Watch: 10/10

Match Total: 60/60 - this is top-notch entertainment.

Comments: this is a perfect example of what women's wrestling should be all about, regardless of your allegiances to any wrestling promotion, the only downside to this match is the global pandemic [when this was first dictated,] it should have had a sold-out crowd behind this match, as you can tell from the Crowd Participation category and attributes, I am not taking anything away from this crowd in attendance, but this is one of those moments in time where you had this high caliber match and the only thing missing was a sold-out crowd to complete this moment in time.

Basic Result: Io Shirai is the new NXT Champion

This Pay-Per-View receives: 10/10, this Pay-Per-View is generally speaking lots of fun; if you have been reading/viewing these blogs as it relates to this Pay-Per-View and which avenue you have taken [Without a Spoiler Alarm or Spoiler Alarm] you will know if you have taken the Spoiler Alarm avenue you will know I have problems with Tom Phillips on Commentary, but having said that all these matches have a positive Match Total to their name and because this Main Event Match has been given full marks I had to reward another mark to this Pay-Per-View; on a quick side note it was a good little touch to have Todd Pettengill back working for the WWF/WWE again he was on the first WWF/WWE Pay-Per-View of WWF/WWE  In Your House #1 in 1995, so to have him come back 25 years later on this anniversary was something small but still a good touch nonetheless [have you thought about bringing him back full time WWE? I am just saying he could probably do a better job of being an interviewer than you have currently got under the WWE umbrella now since Renee Young has left.

The highest ranking match on this Card based on attributes that we see would be: Rhea Ripley vs. Io Shirai vs. the NXT Women's Champion Charlotte Flair: Triple Threat for the NXT Women's Championship with 60/60

The lowest ranking match on this Card based on attributes that we see would be: Shotzi Blackheart, Tegan Nox  & Mia Yim vs. Dakota Kai & Raquel González & "The Pint Size Pixie" Candice LeRae: Six-Women Tag Team Match with 42/60.

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: NXT TakeOver: In Your House 07/06/2020: Match 5/Part 5 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Warning: everyone should know by now I don't use adult language in my content; but I use softer versions of what I mean [this will make much more better sense later on in this blog.]

Match/Stipulation:  Tommaso Ciampa vs.  Karrion Kross [with Scarlett:] Singles Match

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 7/10

Match Storyline: 7/10

Crowd Participation: 7/10

On Commentary: Beth Phoenix, Mauro Ranallo & Tom Phillips 7/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 7/10

Recommend Watch: 8/10

Match Total: 43/60 - this match is good.

Comments: it does what it is designed to do and that is to put over Karrion Kross [with Scarlett,] which it does that with great ease and it has enough offense from Ciampa so that it isn't an out and out squash match; they have gone with the approach of something like this; this massive tidal wave is hitting him when he is on his surfboard, he may have some opportunities to surf/fight back which on another day he may succeed, but for here and now he's just going to get wiped out off his surfboard, so he isn't going to lose anything here.

The reason why I have put an 8 in the Recommend Watch category; it is because they have done a fantastic job of presenting Karrion Kross [with Scarlett] this was my first time meeting this duo, I knew them of by reputation/what people were saying and I am now in agreement with them; if it should happen you have no idea of this duo just watch their entrance [it tells you straight away what we have here is simply a Big deal and the video package before their entrance gives you a taste of this wrestling gimmick.

Now I don't care if Tom Phillips did this off him back or was told to say this, but whatever the case may be; I have to say this is unbelievably stupid and idiotic and frankly I am fuming.

There is one moment after this match where Tom Phillips compares Kross to Brock Lesnar [we are looking at the replays after this match] where Philips says "And then I said it before Shades of The Beast incarnate"

So they do all of this fantastic work building up a new characters/gimmick to stand on its own two feet, to be interesting engaging and in one small reference where he has been saying at least more than once based on his dialogue here and yes I don't know this to be fact I am just going off his dialogue exchange here and yes I am very much aware he doesn't say Brock Lesnar's name but he may as well have.

Phillips or his puppet masters are already trying to chip away at this gimmick which has lots of potential; this is beyond stupid and Phillips or a his puppet masters couldn't have chosen a better comparison considering Lesnar has been a boil on the posterior of the WWE for many, many years now.

I mean if we are going to make comparisons the last performer that was compared to Lesnar, it didn't work out that well for him; yes he has had a good career and it isn't done yet. But Bobby Lashley could have been and still should be more than what he has achieved within I must stress the WWE, because when he was outside this Universe of what I heard and seen of bits and pieces he was achieving his potential and being treated/seen as a big deal.

For the record Kross has so much more to offer in his little finger than Lesnar ever had or before I receive backlash he ever wants or wanted to give, so having Phillips comparing Kross to Lesnar as far as I'm concerned is chalk and cheese.

I mean you may as well compare Kross to Keith Lee at least this would be accurate on some levels on the grounds of; yes they are two big guys which are incredibly powerful, but they are agile and quick and have much to bring to the table in their own rights with Scarlett in Kross' case; they are a package deal. This is how high I rate these characters/performers and gimmick I really don't want to see them nowhere near the Main Roster at all so they can't screw them up [I know this is an impossible request, because  if Mr. McMahon wants them  he gets them, so let's just hope they slip his attention/radar or no one tells him about them for a very long time.]

One final thing; whilst I have brought Phillips up is it me or is Ranallo and Phoenix doing most of the work on Commentary? Not only that but being generally speaking excellent at it so far through this Pay-Per-View and Phillips isn't bringing much to the Commentary.

The WWE should have been more understanding and respectful to Ranallo’s circumstances and if AEW need a new Commentator at some point, go and get him; this would be the first time I have heard him on commentary he brings a level of enthusiasm and knowledge to the Commentary Position and Phoenix brings a similar level of personality to the table as well; they gel and this is why the attributes in the category of On Commentary have been different levels of positivity but still positive.

Based Result: "The Prince" Finn Bálor picks up the W.
