After seeing the NXT show in Glasgow this past Friday, WWE were kind enough to let me come along to the Blackpool show to check out another leg of the successful NXT tour. As the crowd filed into the Empress Ballroom, there was an air of excitement that WWE had chosen to bring the tour to the home of the Pleasure Beach (For International readers, that isnt as dirty as it sounds!) About half of the line-up of matches had been changed from Fridays show, so there was a chance to watch the event with a different perspective and get an opportunity to see some of the wrestlers working with different opponents and see how they adapt their game to their new adversaries. With a smaller venue and a city that gets left out of a lot of tours by wrestling companies, it was great to see WWE roll into town with all the biggest and most popular stars of NXT ready to show everyone what the buzz is all about. When Triple H popped up on the big screen to welcome everyone and the weekly TV intro video played, the atmosphere was electric. Heres my 10 live observations from a great night.
