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

1. Maybe Frazer Should Slow Down

Nathan Frazer should be a can’t-miss superstar with his talent. And yet, somehow NXT decided to take an in-ring accident a couple of months ago and turn it into a new character trait where he sprints around everywhere at light-speed in a chaotic manner.

The result is a wrestler looking frantic in the ring rather than smooth and fast. It also forces Frazer’s opponents, like Dominik Mysterio on Tuesday, to keep up the insane pace, which opens the door for missteps. At one point, Frazer went for a middle rope moonsault into an inverted DDT, and they very nearly lost the thread because Nathan was flying at him at 100 kph.

Another downfall of this “speed kills” character trait is that when he needs to slow down to build drama and tension in the match, it suddenly looks like he’s moving through a tar pit. His climb to the top when Mysterio pushed him to the floor seemed to take hours by comparison after seeing him sprint to the top just moments earlier.

Just let Frazer wrestle as himself instead of trying to give him some goofy trait that isn’t going to make him – or the company – any money.
