-Saturday’s NXT Great American Bash premium live event received a B grade from 30 percent of the voters in our post-show poll. A finished second with 23 percent of the vote.
-60 percent of the voters gave best match honors to Ethan Page vs. Ricky Starks in a Falls Count Anywhere match for the NXT North American Title. Oba Femi vs. Yoshiki Inamura for the NXT Championship finished a distant second with 18 percent of the vote.
Powell’s POV: I gave the show a C- grade while John Moore gave it an B grade in his same-day audio review for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons). I simply felt it was a below-average show on paper and in execution compared to past NXT premium live events. I wholeheartedly agree with the voters regarding the excellent Page vs. Starks match being the best of this show. The 2023 Great American Bash event received a B grade from 54 percent of our voters. Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote in the polls.
Pretty much everyone agreed it was a good show, but of course YOU give it a C-.
Yep, I felt it was a below-average show by NXT PLE standards, which actually says a lot about how much I enjoyed a lot of NXT PLEs over the years. Meanwhile, the AEW show that you shit all over is getting an A grade from the majority of readers. I gave it a lower grade, but “pretty much everyone agreed it was a good show, but of course YOU” disliked this show (and every other AEW show). Crazy, thought. Maybe, just maybe, you’re a tribal maniac who can’t accept when others share honest opinions that don’t mesh with your biased takes. Nah, that couldn’t be it. I mean, it’s only been six years of you obsessively shitting all over one company and running down anyone who has a conflicting opinion. I’ll ask again because I think it’s hilarious that you’ve had no answer for six years. Why do you keep coming here if you think I’m biased? The simple truth? You are mentally ill. Seek help.
