Christian thinks that if someone really wants to stand out in NXT all they need to do is act like a real heel. He points out that at one point in this match the audience was chanting, “Velveteen!” and that wasn’t the way things were supposed to go. He says that if there was a defined period of heel heat in this match from Dream, the audience probably would have got behind Black more.
Edge also liked the NXT Championship match between McIntyre and Almas. He was sorry to see McIntyre get hurt at the end of the match and he intends on contacting him in he next couple of days to wish him well. He was very impressed by Zelina Vega’s performance here as well, and her physicality as a female valet reminds him of Lita in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.
A listener writes into the show and asks Christian if he was actually upset about returning to TNA for his one-off appearance in 2012 in exchange for Ric Flair’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. Christian admits that he was surprised to be asked to do that, but he wasn’t upset about it at all. He actually enjoyed his time in TNA and he wasn’t embarrassed to work there at all, and getting asked to make that appearance in exchange for Flair was actually quite a compliment.
