4 Ups And 5 Downs From WWE NXT 2.0 (Nov 30)

2. Painful Invitational Overstays Its Welcome

In the latest instalment of "Joe Gacy leaves audiences wondering why they bothered tuning in", here we have the current Cruiserweight Championship number one contender's first (and hopefully last) All Inclusive Invitational farce. Once again blasting a division designed to showcase those under the 205lbs weight limit for being a weight shaming, closed shop of sorts, Gacy took things up a notch by claiming that its very existence also meant that people of a certain height or gender couldn't participate.

Once you got past the flaws in this flimsy argument and Gacy had already overcome the first of what seemed to be a string of three matches against folks who fell into the marginalised groups he felt needed a platform, Diamond Mine mercifully put us out of our misery for a spell. But by then this whole fiasco already felt five minutes too long.

Malcolm Bivens' calls for some added legitimacy to proceedings were met with bizarre boos from the crowd and Strong's need to cease the talking being cut off by a Gacy springboard clothesline put a surreal exclamation point on a segment that felt about as well-thought-out as a trip to the beach in December.

Nobody in attendance seemed to enjoy a minute of this and it's difficult to see who benefited from its inclusion on the night. Let's just get Gacy out of the way and have Strong go back to putting on Cruiserweight clinics, please.
