Recap: Having seen a couple of NXT battles (him vs. Saynt is extra dope) before he hit the URL stage, one can attest to the immense amount of talent the kid has. And I’m willing to bet that Funeral F.A.M.E. does too…especially after this matchup. As the cadence-flexible NXT delivers 3 rounds of savage heat via a gang of head-twisting punchlines, fierce wordplay, stinging name flips and aggressive, performance-boosted mayhem to beat back an opponent who was altogether loud, loaded and gritty, but too-often reliant on name flips in the earlier rounds until he got more versatile and hitting with his bars during a standout 3rd round, which in turn forced a debatable and allowed F.A.M.E. to avoid the shutout.
Verdict: NXT (W) 2-1
Favorite line: NXT – “You sloppy, they only think you crazy when you yelling, you could be AWOL with a white sheet…watch your projection!”
