Best and worst of NXT TakeOver: Wargames II

#1 Worst: Riddle vs. Ohno

I would have personally liked to see a longer match

To be fair, Matt Riddle vs. Kassius Ohno was not even on the card. But after what happened in the Kickoff show, it was moved up. It wasn't a real match, so to speak. It was a squash and therefore a shame.

And this is because I know for a fact that both men are incredibly gifted. I would have loved to see Riddle and Ohno slug it out in a long, drawn out contest. Ohno in particular has been putting over too many superstars, and needed to put on a good show.

I know that the objective was to make Matt Riddle look strong, because he is the future. I also know that there were probably some time constraints too.

But all I'm saying, bro, is that this match could have gone much longer.
