By RJ Marceau What’s up guys, I am back with my fourth installment of my current Top 5 favorite WWE NXT Superstars countdown. I did my first installment in April 2015, second installment in October 2015 and my last installment in April 2016. The turnover has been great with everyone being called up to the main roster except four superstars. You can check my past installments by clicking the hyperlinks above. This list will have familiar faces to past installments and we will dive in with the usual honorable mention.

By Graham "GSM" Matthews #AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews answer fan questions from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in regards to the world of wrestling. Nothing is off limits, and this week’s edition touches upon a variety of topics including:
By Graham "GSM" Matthews Sin Cara def. Jinder Mahal I still don't understand that for all the trouble you hear Sin Cara is backstage why they bother keeping him around. It's not like he's making them any money or is of any real value to them. The character has been damaged goods for years. Anyway, this was a relatively decent match, but I couldn't care less about either one of these guys right now, so I didn't have too much of an interest in the match. Bo Dallas def. Curtis Axel Of course, I was already aware of this, but hearing the commentators acknowledge that both of these guys are second-generation stars blew my mind. And yet they're considered jokes for how badly they've been utilized in recent years. I thought this was a better wrestled bout than Cara vs. Mahal and told a superior story simply because of the history they have together, but the fans sat on their hands throughout. And can you blame them? Axel is hardly a babyface and Dallas' renewed push flopped miserably. By Graham "GSM" Matthews Triple H and Jeff Hardy def. Umaga and Snitsky This was a great follow-up to the events from the week prior by having HHH and Hardy join forces to take on the duo of Umaga and Snitsky. Not only did I appreciate the storyline consistency, but it is always refreshing to kick off Raw with a match as opposed to a talking segment. It was actually a pretty good match, too, with HHH and Hardy having good chemistry as partners, and I liked that this led to them facing off one-on-one at Armageddon a few weeks later. Mr. McMahon Confronted Ric Flair The best part about this segment and how they teased Flair might be retiring was Flair had legitimately met with McMahon months earlier and when the meeting didn't go well, there were rumblings Flair was on his way out of WWE. Thus, fans believed he was going to hang up the boots for good here in his native North Carolina, only to say he never planned on retiring. McMahon received mega heat for saying that the next match he lost would be his last, which was a cool, unprecedented story when you think about it. It also set up the main event match between Flair and Randy Orton nicely. |
