10 Live Observations From Attending WWE NXT At Madison Square Garden
3. No Big Damo Or Tommy End
Over the past couple of weeks, two very different - but very talented - European workers have made their long-awaited NXT debuts. Unfortunately, neither of them were present for this show.
The first, Tommy End, has been gaining traction in the U.S. this year with his work in EVOLVE Wrestling. End incorporates his kickboxing background into his in-ring style, making for some severely powerful-looking strikes. He's also an accomplished submission artist, as he's shown in several U.K. based independent companies.
The other man, Damien "Big Damo" O'Conner, is one of the best big men in the sport. The titanic Belfast native made headlines earlier in the year when he was crowned the first-ever WhatCulture Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, but he's made a huge mark in the U.K. over the past few years, competing for ICW and RevPro and taking on the likes of Hiroshi Tanahashi, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Tomohiro Ishii.
So yeah - not much to say besides that it would have been cool to have seen them.
