4 Ups And 3 Downs From WWE NXT (Oct 21)

2. Cabbage Thatch Kids

Is it really a good idea for NXT to be doing an angle where a man runs a wrestling training school purely to abuse his students? Feels like more of an NXT UK thing...

Regardless shout out to Anthony Greene - or 'Andrew' as he kept getting called - for looking really good in this segment. This is categorically the last one of these Thatch-As-Thatch-Can packages that old Timothy can get away with on this show without having some serious matches break them up, so it's pleasing to see they used it well.

Despite his bad record in important matches, I still buy Thatcher as a vicious, brutal, injury-inflicting heel, but for so long as he's just beating up pee-ons who are presumably paying him for the privilege that shine dulls with each passing week. Here it was good, but another one just like it won't be.
