7 Ups & 4 Downs From NXT Halloween Havoc Part Two (Results & Review)

2. Still Not Down With Gacy

It’s not fair to saddle Joe Gacy with all the blame for the groan-inducing stupidity that was the Schism during the past year-plus.

But with the demise of that group in recent weeks, it seemed like there was a real opportunity to reboot Gacy, who is a talented wrestler between the ropes when you can ignore the nonsensical promos.

And then Gacy spoke Tuesday night. Transcribing it would just waste minutes that couldn’t be returned, as would trying to understand and interpret the promo. Joe mused about the “unspeakable things” he did (like repackaging the Grizzled Young Veterans into the Dyad) and asked, “Am I the problem?” before declaring he isn’t asking for forgiveness.

It was just more nonsense with fewer spooky undertones, which is funny considering this promo took place on Halloween Havoc.
