7 Ups And 5 Downs From WWE NXT TakeOver: Respect

Maybe there€™s more to this ongoing storyline, and if so, then all can be forgiven. But watching Tyler Breeze lose big matches regularly (Bull Dempsey is not a big match, just a big man) is frustrating. Breeze was at the top of the card a year ago, fighting with Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn and Tyson Kidd. Now he€™s losing to Jushin €œThunder€ Liger and Apollo Crews. That€™s not to say that he€™s better than Liger or Crews, or that it€™s necessarily the wrong call, but Breeze has been toiling away for a while now, and instead of being promoted, he€™s floundering, losing special event matches after badgering NXT general manager William Regal to put him in these matches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuijuILyk-k Perhaps this is all leading to Tyler confronting Regal, or maybe it will lead to a Zayn-like quest to get on-track. But for right now, Breeze continues to entertain and perform€ and job.
