Over the past few years NXT has been the best thing going in WWE world. Good storylines, great matches, enthusiastic crowds and a conveyor belt to the main roster. This Blu Ray release has 23 matches (5 exclusive to the Blu version) and provides a cracking overview of the brilliance the guys and girls have been cooking up. There's also a few comments from various superstars between some of the matches which are mostly interesting and worthwhile. Triple H has plenty to say and fair enough, he is basically the man behind the brand.
For those that are interested, this is a list of the content with a few thoughts.......
29/08/12 - Seth Rollins v Jinder Mahal - NXT Championship Tournament Final - Straight away its clear that with an NXT crowd we're dealing with a smaller but lively, enthusiastic group. Makes for a great atmosphere for this satisfying, near fall packed match.
09/01/13 - Seth Rollins v Big E Langston - NXT Championship - No DQ - A little underwhelming, more about passing the torch than an epic title match.
01/05/13 - Chris Jericho v Bray Wyatt - They'd go on to have better matches together on the main roster but this is solid enough.
24/07/13 - Paige v Emma - NXT Women's Championship Tournament Final - Now this is good, a fitting way to crown the first champ.
21/08/13 - Sami Zayn v Antonio Cesaro - 2 out of 3 Falls - Brilliant stuff. The crowd don't seem that into it at the start but these two suck them in with an electric effort that raises the roof.
25/12/13 - William Regal v Antonio Cesaro - A different proposition here, old school mat wrestling and storytelling which makes for a refreshing change. Love it.
27/02/14 - Bo Dallas v Adrian Neville - NXT Championship - Ladder Match - The hits keep coming. A sturdy, hard hitting ladder scrap that ticks all the right boxes.
29/05/14 - Charlotte v Natalya - NXT Women's Championship Tournament Final - They redid this more recently at Payback 2016 but this is MUCH better. And they leave out the Montreal Screwjob garbage which is a bonus.
16/10/14 - Sami Zayn v Tyson Kidd - Another step on the Sami Zayn journey, another quality, fast paced match.
11/12/14 - Adrian Neville v Sami Zayn - NXT Championship - Sami's big moment and he nails it. An absolute corker in front of an equally awesome crowd.
11/02/15 - Charlotte v Sasha Banks v Becky Lynch v Bayley - NXT Women's Championship- Exciting, original and innovative. Another absolute winner.
11/02/15 - Sami Zayn v Kevin Owens - NXT Championship - Maybe not to everybody's taste but good action and some interesting storytelling make for a satisfying whole.
05/03/15 - Adrian Neville v Cesaro - Good solid wrestling match with an electric finishing sequence. No commentary by the way for those that care about such things.
27/03/15 - Hideo Itami v Tyler Breeze - Arena Cam - No comms here either but you probably wouldn't hear them anyway above the LOUD crowd. This is all shot from one camera (the "arena" hard cam) which gives a different feel to a good, fun match.
17/06/15 - Enzo Amore, Colin Cassidy & Carmella v Blake, Murphy & Alexa Bliss - Not a great deal to see here, really just a showcase for Enzo and Cass. Guess they wanted to squeeze them onto the compilation somehow.
04/07/15 - Kevin Owens v Finn Balor - NXT Championship - Match of the night from the Beast in the East show. A stirring back and forth scrap which has an important feel to it and a proper big match atmosphere.
22/08/15 - Sasha Banks v Bayley - NXT Women's Championship - A stellar effort from both here, rightly talked about as one of the great women's matches.
07/10/15 - Finn Balor & Samoa Joe v Baron Corbin & Rhyno - Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament Final - Rather formulaic but lively tag scrap.
Then the Blu exclusives......
17/10/12 - CM Punk & Seth Rollins v Antonio Cesaro & Kassius Ohno - This starts as a singles match between Punk and Cesaro before morphing into a tag bout that has curiosity value.
13/11/13 - Adrian Neville v Corey Graves - 2 out of 3 Falls - Solid and psychologically sound stuff without being particularly memorable.
11/09/14 - Paige v Becky Lynch - This is a dark match so the announcers have popped off again for a beer or something. The match is pretty short so in truth there's not much to see here.
15/07/15 - Sasha Banks v Charlotte - NXT Women's Championship - This is more like it. You can usually rely on these two and this is another cracking effort.
07/10/15 - Apollo Crews v Tyler Breeze - Lively and entertaining way to finish. Bring on Volume Two.

He de destacar que en este Blu-ray, el movimiento final de Seth Rollins está censurado. Este Blu-ray salió cuando WWE tenía prohibido mostrar ese movimiento, y en lugar del movimiento final muestran la reacción del público para no mostrar el movimiento.
Por lo demás, una gran recopilación de NXT. Excelente calidad de vídeo y audio, y muy buena selección de combates, aunque algunos de esos combates son algo decepcionantes comparado con otros de la recopilación. Imprescindible si eres fan de NXT.
