14 Ups & 0 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (Oct 16)
12. Death Or Glory
A ripper of a brawl between four men only too happy to kick the f*ck out of each other for the good of the cause, this was a typical ripper from Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan and a far superior exhibition of Imperium's gifts than their six-man effort against Kushida and Breezango several weeks ago.

NXT has the roster of wrestlers and staff to assemble television matches as good as this every week - and should aim to make it the show's modus operandi. Accusations of the in-ring style being too polished for its own good were kicked clean into the back bogs of Full Sail by this exhilarating deathblow-trading session eventually won by Walter's warriors.
On a show with Dominik Dijakovic and Keith Lee still to come, this was brave booking too.
