#5: Velveteen Dream and Ricochet vs Lars Sullivan (NXT, May 23rd)

This was the best handicap match I've seen in a long time.

The action was fluid, all three men's character work was on point, and all three looked like stars as a result.

Ricochet and Velveteen Dream's unusual alliance was shaky at first, but looked to be paying off as they repeatedly attacked Lars Sullivan.

Through sheer effort, they were finally, finally succeeding in chopping the big man down, until Velveteen Dream turned on his partner and left the arena.

The result was that Lars Sullivan won advancing his feud with Aleister Black, while Ricochet and Velveteen Dream advanced their own feud. It was the kind of smart booking to expect routinely from NXT.
