Was this good? Will it get good? Can it be good?
There's something so disconcertingly plain about Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler, and even Jaxson Ryker's chiselled frame doesn't inspire the excitement others to sport his physique may have done in years gone by.
Evolve wrestlers Adrian Alanis and Leon Ruff were well and truly fed to the tag team also-rans, but even when this squash clocked in at just 1:21, it still felt like a drag.
Perhaps a push will one day sustain them, but it's as if NXT keep...forgetting to get around to it.
