The Complete Guide to NXT UK
NXT UK is back after a hiatus that feels like it *probably* should have happened even without a pandemic. I didn't watch a single NXT UK match until Ohno/Gallagher happened (7 months into the program's existence). In cherry picking appearances from some of my favorite US guys this year and last, I came to actually enjoy a lot of the NXT UK roster that I watched. I think their roster since inception (July 2018) is stronger than NXT's roster over the same time, and I figure there are some hidden gems on this brand (that I didn't start semi-frequently watching until late last year). It's an underwatched program - WWE fans don't want it, British wrestling fans don't seem to like it - and there hasn't been a ton of actual discussion on the matches, so I thought it would be fun to skim through the fed's output and establish a list of the BEST NXT UK matches. I also plan on doing Top 50 Wrestlers lists every 25 episodes, while also keeping an ongoing Overall Top 50 or 100.
