Damo fires back, eventually countering Gibson’s Ticket to Ride (a mid-rope codebreaker) by straight up catching him. The man formerly known as Big Damo has a speed that makes his size even more intimidating and it made him a bonafide star in “NXT Takeover: War Games.” So seeing a younger Damo here was a treat.ĭamo and Zack Gibson (who finally shaved his head, on his way to being the bearded bastard that we’d all love to boo) but on a pretty decent match, seeing Damo explode out right in the beginning.Gibson eventually gains a bit more control, targeting Damo’s arm.
I’m a big fan of the SanitY stable in NXT (at least before they made the move to Smackdown and the company had absolutely no idea what to do with them) and Killian Dane in particular. The opening match of this chapter is another one of those retroactive recognition moments for me. Jimmy Havoc vs Marty Scurll vs Noam Dar vs Will Ospreay vs Dave Mastiff vs Paul Robinson Elimination Match (Progress Championship) The Faceless vs Eddie Dennis and Wild Boar Mike Hitchman (Progress Tag Team Championships) 1 Contendership match for Tag Team Championships) Both tag team titles and the Progress Championship are on the line as the company throws everything they can at Havoc to try and put an end to him.
We come at last to the final chapter before Super Strong Style 16 drives us to the conclusion of our retrospective.
