6 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night's NXT (June 3)
5. Yimitloss
I've just been informed, per General Manager William Regal, this is now an entirely new Ups and Downs entry.
Despite Gargano's protestations that he wasn't ready (the guy was literally wearing skinny jeans and his shagging jacket) we headed straight into the expected blowoff to this feud as Mr. and Mrs. Yimitless took on World's Weirdest Dinner Party in a two vs two.
Carrying all of the chaotic energy of the mass brawl directly into the match, the Gargano's played an Oscar-worthy Mickey and Minnie in a frantic cat and mouse match. Neither of these two wanted any of their opponents, and there's already a genuine satisfaction to be felt in the small moments someone gets their hands on them. I maintain this heel turn is High Art.
Lampooning another derided WWE cliche, we even had a distracted roll-up finish here. But not in the normal groan-inducing manner of someone hearing a noise or somehow forgetting they were in a wrestling match, Gargano jabbed Lee in the eyes!!... with his car keys!!!... and when Yim understandably went to see if he was blind!!!! Candice scored the win.
This feud is great, and the Lee/Gargano match we'll get at In Your House is one of the most exciting on the card.
