[2021-04-08-WWE-NXT UK: Prelude] WALTER vs Rampage Brown

[Edwin]

Entirely different match from WALTER/Ciampa as this is more of a straight up hoss fight. Rampage brings the fight to WALTER and it's a 15+ minute bomb fest between these two. Match is worked evenly as it should be with Rampage looking like a threat to WALTER. That Doctor Bomb from Rampage was pretty nasty as WALTER landed on his shoulder. They go a bit overboard in the finishing stretch with the big move 2.99 kickouts but I still dug this and thought it was very good. Would like to see them run this one back once they are fans back in the arenas.

Another great WALTER title defence as this time he gets to face a large opponent who is closer in size and strength to himself. I've really liked Rampage Brown in NXT UK as this no nonsense grumpy old bastard. The big bomb throwing does remind one of All Japan and Nigel picks up on it too, referencing Hansen, Brody, Misawa and Kobashi. Really hot heavyweight battle which compliments the Ciampa match nicely.
