Steves Notes HH 2020

Steves Notes HH 2020

Triple H’s wet dream edition of NXT kicks off with a FRANKEN-Shotzi in what I think is an electric chair with an electric saw sparking all over the place. She’s great.

Johnny Gargano vs. Damien Priest

Priest comes out to a live kinda metal version of his theme, it’s rad

Gargano is dressed as Jack Skellington, he punctures the cheesy blow up pumpkin at the stage

Shotzi SPINS THE WHEEL- the DEAL is Devil’s Playground match

After some back and forth, John gets a kendo stick while Priest gets his telescoping baton

They fight up on the stage during picture in picture

After commercial, John takes the kendo stick to Priest, who takes his baton to John’s ankle to counter a kick, Priest lifts him over the ropes into the ring for a huge sit down chokeslam

John tries for a pin on the steel steps after a reverse ddt, gets 2

Priest gets broken arrow on the announce table

THey go back stage

Gargano gets a garbage can, puts it over priest’s head, slams it against a door

They end up on the opposite stage, in front of the wheel

Priest goes to power bomb John into a cauldron of dry ice, john counters with super kick, gets a garbage can, uses it once, twice, he loads up a superkick, Priest hits a spinning heel kick, another to the garbage can to john’s head

Priest loads up for Reckoning, someone dressed as Scream hits him with a pipe, Gargano hits DDT, Scream gives him a tombstone, he crushes Priest with it, who falls to the ground through a table or something, Gargano crawls over, pins, THREE NEW CHAMPION

Grimes comes to a shitty house

Weird shit starts happening, a kid’s bike goes by (you got kids?) as Lumis pops out, stalking him

He goes deeper into the house

A ref in the corner freaks him out when he sks if this is pinfall or submission

Lumis attacks, Grimes gets away, Lumis stalks him

Grimes ends up in the bathroom, theres a lady showering, he starts undressing thinking it’s Lumis’ sister, it’s like a weird chick from the ring type thing

Grimes gets a stick to fight him, and there;s two more of those weird ring chicks that attack

Grimes gets outside, goes to the van, Lumis is in the driver’s seat, Grimes runs off
