Has anyone else seen this? Perhaps one of the greatest matches I've seen in awhile, everything was amazing, Tyler Bate continues to impress me at being just 20 years old. Andrews is fantastic as well.

I LOVE Tyler Bate but he makes me hate myself for not going to wrestling school yet.....I'm only 21 but still lol.
That dude has so much potential it is insane.

match was really nice! I don't really like mark andrews so all the super close near falls on bate were awesome.
star of the show once again tho is pete dunne. I love everything he does. it actually makes sense every move he does and everything outside of the ring as well. I also really love his whole "i'm not gonna do anything" smile and attitude like he had before he grabbed trent sevens arm and slammed it into the wall and after regal rushed out when he attacked andrews. he put his hands in his pockets and was just smiling like "hey i didn't do anything"

I feel like the WWE kind of forgot they had a UK Title, so they made sure to tape matches with a title defense for a special that aired tonight, and then have another UK Title match at the NXT Takeover show as to say, "we remember, we really do!!"
I just still feel that in a years time the UK Title will mean nothing really to the WWE. With having their own network to run wrestling on, you would think they would be having a weekly UK show for us to see constantly. But repeats of Top 10 episodes and old Austin Podcasts with the Big Show are good too....

They have announced a weekly show but still no info on when it will start. Not sure the show will be a success in the US but I think it will do well in the UK. British wrestling is more popular now than it has ever been. |

I watched the show on a replay. I enjoyed every match. Kinda weird they'd use Rich Swann, TJP and Kendrick on the show, but hey, it was a good match. Pete Dunne is a great heel. I dont think hes main event caliber heel, but with more time, he'll look like a main eventer. The dude gets what to do in the ring, and why to do it. Tyler Bate is amazing for just a 20 year old. Loved the match with Mark Andrews.

I thought the special was a nice little unique show. Gave me a vague old school Clash of the Champions meets NXT feel. I actually enjoyed the vintage heel team work of Perkins and Kendrick in their bout. Glad they went over. Dunne vs Seven was a good match ,and the psychology was great. Bate vs Andrews had moments where the wrestling was strong and psychology sound, but also had some spot fest type stuff going towards the end. I really liked how JR covered a bit of that up by saying something along the lines of Bate having very strong neck muscles to have survived the outside DDT and reverse hurricanrana that would have otherwise been the end of anyone else. That helped for tjose highspots that Bate managed to escape and recover from. Mandrews came out looking good despite the loss. Solid show all around.

Tyler Bate is a phenom, he along with Pete Dunne could be a top guys in the business in a few years.
