"These are the things that turn me off from NXT." - Brian Last, after paying no attention to the buildup and then misunderstanding everything he watched.
He has not watched NXT in a long time until the CW Move, he missed or skipped all of it. Even Tony D's Babyface promo the week before the match, simply because he hated Tony's gimmick.
Tony D has been Babyface for a while now too. Oba has ALWAYS been like a Tweener. He doesn't care who's in front of him. If you're in his way, he's going through you.
He guessed right how they told the story. He undstood by ring story but by presentation Tony has goons at ringside and one was trying to interfere so it looks heelish but Tony’s a bad guy who is playing hero if Jim watched but he doesn’t so his confusion is justified while hilarious lol
@@chuckles9767 yea it’s hard for me To follow sometimes but I like Lola Vice Trick and I’m fond of the D’Angelo family Cuz I love old mob movies and organized crime is still a thing so it’s fine with me. Some of it is all over the place though
I think the woman is supposed to be De'Angelo's cousin. Oba has talked down to her before. "In some cultures, women are supposed to be seen and not heard."
@@DARK0073GAMINGI feel like WWE used those words as an excuse to justify why Oba should drop the belt. Before that Oba didn’t make any remark that would have you be against him in their Feud.
Jim has said he doesn't watch NXT except recently when they debuted on the CW. I can't really blame him as I hadn't watched since Vince Vinced all over NXT I stopped watching too. I may start watching again though.
He is a babyface but his antics are still hellish, Tong D's gimmick just isn't right, I don't find it convincing and comes more off as comedic and cartoony. Escobar was better with this gimmick. Tony needs some change in look and presentation this stuff will not succeed in Main Roster unless he is booked as comedic heel.
Oba is basically an anti-hero he was never showed as a babyface, he was showed as a beast just like brock lesnar, either you are with him, or against him, he just wants the throne and tony wanted it too, that was the story for this match, who was the better man that night, we dont always need a heel and a face in a match if the story is good, and the story to this match was perfect, 2 guys, just wanting the spotlight.
They watched the Miz TV segment with Oba and Tony the previous week, but they were still confused over who the babyface and heel were? This is not complicated.
They know who the heel and baby face are. They are saying they wouldn’t know judging by the action in the ring. Heels are suppose to wrestle differently than faces. They are especially suppose to bump differently. Curt Hennig(Mr Perfect)was a perfect example. He bumped normally as a face, as a heel, he looked like a fish flopping on the deck of a boat. Now, 99% wrestle the same both ways.
"This is WWE's AWE." Brian is clueless. If you don't watch the product (you can tell, since they don't know the story about Tony), don't give an "educated" opinion about it.
@@MrFoxxx47in their defense a persons credibility does kinda take a hit if they are giving critiques of something and don’t even know the story when that’s a big part of what you’re criticizing.

I can understand that for casual viewers the gimmicks of Chase U and D'Angelo Family may seem anachronistic and rotten. Well, that was my first impression too. But Chase U has had three very interesting story arcs and Tony D had some deep character work. Their stints between these stories highlight all the problem of using these gimmicks nowadays, but for me they turned out to be very good acts.
Oba Femi is everything Will Hobbs could have been. The guy is just a beast and has this aura to him. While I hate that he lost the title, the guy is going to be a star for a very long time. Tony D is a fan favorite so I also see that they wanted to give him that hometown win. Even more insane Oba Femi has only had like 30 matches in his career.
Oba was the only person legit enough to be booked as a double champion in NXT but I understand that probably be a lot for him to handle since he only have been wrestling for like 2 years so far and so far the only person who has only had that accomplishment is Keith Lee
@@SandMan1998Nope Apollo Crews didn't had a size like Oba Femi and his promo didn't felt authentic as Oba Femi's, since Femi's promo is authentic because his accent is real, plus Oba Femi have more personality than Crews
@@TheAnonymousIndividualYou have some very cringe takes when it comes to black wrestlers, I noticed on almost every review video. Lucky for you Oba will get a monster push on the main roster so you can go cry in the corner when he inevitably beats one of your favorites lol You are on the damn spectrum if you think this guy will be a jobber, get your head out of your ass.
Will you start a movie halfway into the movie you're not going to know what's going on so you need to watch the show starting now and follow it going forward if you want to know what these stories are going to be
The move from one tv broadcast to another, on this instance the CW debut, should come (I don't know if they did it) with video packages for the new fans who're gonna start from the debut on so yes... It was kind of a problem.
Its funny because I have been watching NXT for six months or so now and Tony D'Angelo has quickly become one of my favorites on the show. However, Tony is the face
oba’s the heel but he’s a roman reign’s type heel where he’s too cool to boo. tony D’s the babyface but he’s historically a heel that being said, NXT is waaaaay better when you watch it as a faux “wrestling high school” type of reality show
Its clear they didn't pay much attention to the show. Brian saying maybe he was the babyface cuz its a hometown thing. Diangelo is literally from Chicago and made that very clear last week in the promo segment they supposedly watched
Imagine a world where Jim and Brian actually watched NXT every single week and you could actually get their thoughtful insight on some of the best moments and the future of the company. Particularly with Jim’s background in developmental wrestling. I would’ve loved for them to watch the entire Ethan Page and Joe Hendry program or Oba’s title reign.
Ok, the character Tony D'Angelo is literally a high ranking member of a criminal organization. They have canonically committed at least one murder on the show. There is no face in this fued. It's heel v heel.
It's abit cringe that if you don't sound western or have a western name. Jim goes abit your dad racist. I'm half Nigerian born and raised the UK. If I wrestled under my last name no matter how good a wrestler I was Jim would be like. Yuck tuck funny foreign name.
@@properlypromoted9331 I think it's because Germany is white /western. It's that sort of your dad racism. Where because his age he thinks it's fine to make jokes about being gay none Anglo as growing up these would have been seen as outwardly lesser. So he will think hey I'm I'm making jokes
Oba Femi is weird name and I say that as a guy with a cousin (Obi) who has a Nigerian dad. Ridge Holland is also weird. Same with No Quarter Catch Club. All of the NXT names stink
Tony D is Jack Swagger of NXT, he just there but nothing he have done is appealing or screams must watch, he isn't that wow in the ring, his personality and character doesn't seem convincing, his in-ring attire is whacky. I don't he will fare well in Main roster he simply doesn't standout, i can see him in mid-card and then getting released. He needs to ditched this gimmick and try something else. I can give him a chance to prove me wrong but unlike Melo he is not even meant to be in mid-card.
Tony is An American professional wrestler, born to a family of Sicilian, Italian immigrants, he dominated amateur wrestling as a member of the University at Buffalo, New York, and then entered professional wrestling as a gimmick of a mafia family due to his family background, plus, he has the accent, its not forced like most of the people who tried, i like it honestly, and makes sense, and there is no other gimmick like it in WWE, i love it.
@@EliteWalkThroughs He didn't look like a bum, but had zero personality and charisma, I think he has mid-card potential when he was with Dutch Mantell but another that he was just meh.
@@ChrisJericho22 Nah, The Swagger of NXT would be Chase U. I dont know why Shawn has allowed that gimmick to last this long when its obvious it won't work on the main roster.
Who's the babyface and who's the heel used to be easy to answer for anyone who's channel flipping and catches wrestling, now you can be a mob boss with an entourage that outnumbers their opponent, and people will be mad at you and call you stupid for thinking the mobster is the bad guy. That's one of many reasons why it's hard for people that aren't in the wrestling bubble to care or become a new fan.
You know how you read some AEW fanboys comment and cringe? That’s how a lot of the NXT commenters appear to a lot of people right now The SNL sopranos act is not good
I'll agree with Jim here, I was completely lost going in not knowing who was face or heel (this was my first time watching these two wrestle) so I was confused for most of it though I did like Oba but him losing kinda ruined the impression for me somewhat.
Tony is the face and yes he has whacked people before on the show, they are complaining about things that arent even true, Oba is and has always been a heel since day 1, if you are gonna criticise the story/characters, keep up with the show
7:00 There are no babyface and heel. The crowd just chooses who is over. Typical big man match which looks odd in the modern time. Oba Femi vs Channing Stacks Lorenzo was the best "squash" match ive seen in awhile so they can book it right but its impossible with this audience
5:40 I love when Jim is mincing things and getting confused on who is the heel or who is the Babyface D'Angelo was the Babyface and Femi the monster heel (loved by the crowd). The story was that Tony was mentally breaking up against Oba during the promos and that Oba is the unbeatable, so it was like an underdog story.
I’m looking forward to CM Punk taking over booking duties for NXT. If his brief work on Collision is any indication of his abilities, he’ll really turn that show around and select much better prospects.
how did jim manage to think that oba was the face and tony was the heel for so long and still didn't get it by the end? and brian didn't correct him, or even know himself.
Someone needs to tell Jim that Oba is the heel and Tony is the babyface. Oba is like Bron Breaker. The crowd chants when he comes out but the rest of the presentation is that of a heel. Jim’s NXT coverage has been pretty hard to listen to.

We did it guys.
Our work here is done.
Bullying works
Oba is big, physically impressive, and doesn't do anything stupid. He's the exact kinda wrestler Jim likes.

Cornette clearly missed too much of the build to this match.
He missed it all except for the week before the match , these two have good chemistry in the ring too.
Big time. Oba was the heel for this program and he doesn't get the D'Angelo Family at all.
I think the woman is supposed to be De'Angelo's cousin. Oba has talked down to her before. "In some cultures, women are supposed to be seen and not heard."

Will Hobbs is setting in catering right now in AEW wishing he could be Oba Femi.
From that movie he saw, "Australian History X" or whatever the fuck.

Jim definitely got confused, Tony was the face going into it and oba has always been the giant heel
Yeah he saw the Miz TV segment so surely he should have figured that out
He’s just thinking of back then. The person with the entourage was usually the heel
He is a babyface but his antics are still hellish, Tong D's gimmick just isn't right, I don't find it convincing and comes more off as comedic and cartoony. Escobar was better with this gimmick. Tony needs some change in look and presentation this stuff will not succeed in Main Roster unless he is booked as comedic heel.

Femi’s size, facial expressions, the fact he can speak English. He has big time potential.
Jim took an instant like to Oba and glad to hear it, just wish he'd give the others a chance too.

@@ChrisJericho22 Nah, The Swagger of NXT would be Chase U. I dont know why Shawn has allowed that gimmick to last this long when its obvious it won't work on the main roster.
Who's the babyface and who's the heel used to be easy to answer for anyone who's channel flipping and catches wrestling, now you can be a mob boss with an entourage that outnumbers their opponent, and people will be mad at you and call you stupid for thinking the mobster is the bad guy. That's one of many reasons why it's hard for people that aren't in the wrestling bubble to care or become a new fan.
You know how you read some AEW fanboys comment and cringe? That’s how a lot of the NXT commenters appear to a lot of people right now
The SNL sopranos act is not good
When was Oba ever a face? My man was saying stuff like "In my country, the woman is seen and not heard." in the build to this! 😂 Oba is great.
D'Angelo is the face. Good lord Jim is dense.
I'll agree with Jim here, I was completely lost going in not knowing who was face or heel (this was my first time watching these two wrestle) so I was confused for most of it though I did like Oba but him losing kinda ruined the impression for me somewhat.
Tony is the face and yes he has whacked people before on the show, they are complaining about things that arent even true, Oba is and has always been a heel since day 1, if you are gonna criticise the story/characters, keep up with the show
7:00 There are no babyface and heel. The crowd just chooses who is over. Typical big man match which looks odd in the modern time. Oba Femi vs Channing Stacks Lorenzo was the best "squash" match ive seen in awhile so they can book it right but its impossible with this audience
5:40 I love when Jim is mincing things and getting confused on who is the heel or who is the Babyface
D'Angelo was the Babyface and Femi the monster heel (loved by the crowd). The story was that Tony was mentally breaking up against Oba during the promos and that Oba is the unbeatable, so it was like an underdog story.
Oba has been the heel since his appearance, lol. D'Angelo has been baby face for over a year already hahaha, cmon Jim
LOL the turn around is incredible
I’m looking forward to CM Punk taking over booking duties for NXT. If his brief work on Collision is any indication of his abilities, he’ll really turn that show around and select much better prospects.
To call NXT, WWE’s AEW is a dig at AEW because NXT is developmental.
🧂
Oba has always been a heel. The build up to the match was Moxley's Rocky 3, but done right.
Jim Soprano whatever happened there
Whateva happened there? WHATEVA HAPPENED THERE?! 🤬
Brian was right
This might be the worst review I've ever heard. I wonder if he's this misinformed watching AEW. Maybe I gotta give it a chance 😂
No Jim, Oba's been the heel the entire time
He's NXT's Brock Lesnar
how did jim manage to think that oba was the face and tony was the heel for so long and still didn't get it by the end? and brian didn't correct him, or even know himself.
Oba Femi is the heel.
tony and his family are not heels hes one of the most over guys in nxt if you guys actually watched youd know
Someone needs to tell Jim that Oba is the heel and Tony is the babyface. Oba is like Bron Breaker. The crowd chants when he comes out but the rest of the presentation is that of a heel. Jim’s NXT coverage has been pretty hard to listen to.
The mafia gimmick has beat to death over the years.. .Oba more believable..
WCW Halloween Havoc 1993 was the best blessed to see all from 1980-Now 1996 1997 and 1999 were okay also
I'm ok with TonyD'S gimmick. A little comedy is ok. He's also pretty good in the ring, I like his finish
Had no idea the comments were gonna be so fun. 🍿
Tony d has been a baby face. Oba has been pretty healish since he’s been there
