Tavion Heights vs. Titus Alexander

[3.0] "[1.5*] The first half was okay, I was enjoying it and I was not understanding the reason for the low rating, it felt like a 5/10 for me. But man, the match just went downhill from one point on. Tavion forgot to kick-out, slipped after he reversed the Running Knee and completely botched the Rolling German Suplex at the finish, putting Alexander in a tough spot. I am glad both young guys had way better matches afterwards."

[3.0] "This started out as a promising showcase for Tavion Heights, but by the end it devolved into being a bad performance on his end. Titus Alexander was alright, but alright couldn't save this match."

[3.0] "This was going satisfactorily until Tavion Heights started messing up in major ways. I can forgive botches when they are well covered for, but not kicking out, falling over from getting hit by the whoosh of a knee flying by and making the finishing sequence look bad are automatic deductions in my rating card."

[7.0] "Why the bad rating. Like every match on this card: It got good amount of time. My very first time seeing Tavion and I like him. His amateur wrestling background is cool and he is sympathic. ***1/2"

[4.0] "At the start the match was pretty good, but at the second half everything went down, tavion became sloppy in the ring for no reason at all and just delivered 3 terrible botches, forgot to kickout, fell of alone escaping from the running knee, didn't got up from the rollup... An absolute disasterclass from him [2.25*]"

[4.0] "[2.25] The beginning of the match was pretty fun, both were showing agility and strength, but after the Tope Con Hilo, everything went downhill. Since both are young and have little experience in the business, neither was capable of carrying the match on their own, and unfortunately, Titus suffered because of Tavion, who made three horrible botches. First, he forgot to kick out, then he slipped and fell like a rock, and finally, he managed to mess up a somersault and ruin the matchs ending completely. Unfortunately, its hard to defend the guy from NXT."

[6.0] "Unsuprisingly Tavion Heights (whom I saw for the first time) got sloppy and lost his composure towards the final minutes, and Alexander wasn't that much of a veteran himself, but they both showed a great deal of promise. Heights is extremely agile and strong and seems to know the basics. When he learns to wrestle he could be a destroyer. I liked what he had to offer. This will be an interesting tournament on his part."

[5.0] "The two are talented and have a lot to evolve yet. Titus tried his best, it was a good presentation of his and Tavion had good blows and some good sales, but in general the chemistry between the two was very bad, none has the experience to carry a match against an also little experienced. The silent audience. Tavion has a lot to evolve and this tournament can help him in this, but his timing for moves is still very strange, time he makes a good counter because of his size, time he misses the marking of where he should receive the blow and still sells a blow that was clearly in nothing, in addition to not giving a kickout at a time where both the judge and Titus demarcate that there was the kickout? Maybe taking another name from NXT, more prepared like Duke or Dempsey would be a better option. [2.5*]"

[1.0] "Bad, totally bad, chaotic pace, the move completion was pathetic, cannot believe this was the kind of match on the openingday of N-1."

[4.0] "This was a very sloppy match unfortunately since Tavion seems like he has some good stuff in his arsenal and Titus has impressed me in other matches in the States. Maybe it was just a lack of direction and negative chemistry, but this was a bad match in my opinion"
