7 Ups And 3 Downs From NXT TakeOver: The End
1. 10 > 100
Its really tough to do this, and this initially was a positive, but after viewing it a second time
In some ways, you could call Andrade Cien Almas debut Wednesday disappointing. Consider that he went up against someone in Tye Dillinger who has rapidly become one of the Full Sail faithfuls favorites, thus putting him at an immediate disadvantage and somewhat muting the response the crowd would give a newcomer.
However, Almas did a solid job introducing himself to the NXT and WWE fans, showing off a little faking a dive through the ropes and just hanging out, reclining on the middle rope, hitting a double moonsault to catch Tye after he moved, and just giving enough of a taste of what he has that you know theres more to come.
Debuts are tough to rate sometimes. Unless its totally flat, you kind of have to give the benefit of the doubt. Ciens first televised evening in NXT wasnt on Kevin Owens level, but it wasnt bad either. Still, this couldnt havent been the kind of debut officials wanted.
