 Drew McIntyre vs Andrade Almas

The Sinister Scotsman Drew McIntyre may have come up short in the NXT Championship Tournament, but he proved why he is a highly dangerous competitor against Andrade Almas. El Idolo threw his best shots, but couldn't match the power and intensity of McIntyre, who put things away with a Future Shock DDT. That wasn't enough for Drew, though, as he locked in the Iron Maiden crossface after the bell had rung to send a message.

Winner: Drew McIntyre


 William Regal Promo

The NXT General Manager had big news for us regarding Ricochet and Apollo Crews. Next week, those two men will go one on one. The winner will receive a title match of their choosing, while the loser must leave NXT for good.


Adam Cole vs Hideo Itami

Adam Cole had a lot of expectations to live up to, as William Regal gave him a match with the NXT Champion in his debut. Both Cole and this match didn't disappoint, as these two men stole the show. The early portion of the match saw Cole and Itami size each other up, engaging in a back and forth technical affair. The tone of the match changed when Cole dropped Itami right on his head on the outside of the ring. There quickly grew to be some bad blood between the International Sensation and the Panama City Playboy, as they beat the tar out of each other. Hideo opened Cole up with his tremendous strikes, and Adam Cole would wear the crimson mask by the end of the match. Try as he might, the new NXT Champion just couldn't put the match away, as even the Busaiku Knee couldn't get the three count. Cole played possum, choosing the most opportune time to strike with the Florida Key and score the shocking win, pinning the champ on his debut.

Winner: Adam Cole

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
