#3 Jeremy Borash interviews Matt Riddle

For the uninitiated, Jeremy Borash was the ring announcer, commentator, producer and mainstay of TNA for many years, before he departed for NXT. He was also a very central figure to the Broken Universe that Matt Hardy created, shooting on his drone.

It was pretty cool to see him sit down with Matt Riddle and try to understand the man who just seems far too 'chilled out' to be an NXT superstar. Riddle explained his perspective and I can't wait to catch the whole interview after I finish this review.

I love how NXT gives us a look at the personas of their Superstars with such video packages. It would have made sense for RAW and SmackDown Live to also introduce the call-ups in such a manner, because casual fans may not know these men.

It's clear that NXT has big plans for Riddle and I can see him hold gold in due time.
