10 WWE Matches of 2017 that didn't live up to the expectations

#6 Neville vs. Enzo Amore (No Mercy)

A dragged out punishment that ensured Enzo wasn't the only victim of the torture.

This match was doomed from the moment it was booked, but I never imagined it would be this bad, especially with Neville in it. Enzo Amore has been an entertaining heel that's brought some needed attention to a 205 Live whose formula just wasn't working beforehand. Unfortunately, the price to be paid for that means we have to see Enzo in the ring. His career as champion started with this match, and boy was it terrible. WWE knew it would be, which is why they put it in the piss-break spot on the card before the Lesnar/Strowman main event.

What we got was nearly 11 minutes of Neville beating Enzo senseless. Seeing Enzo get beaten up should be satisfying, but this time it wasn't because it was a very slow-paced beating that never got off the ground or excited anyone. The crowd turned on it, chanting "boring!" Eventually, Enzo distracted the referee to give Neville a low blow and become the new Cruiserweight Champion. It was a very unsatisfying, anticlimactic end to a dominant run atop the cruiserweight division, which Neville had carried all year long.

One has to imagine that this match was one of the last straws for Neville in terms of his willingness to stay in the spot WWE had him in. He disappeared from television soon afterward in a controversial manner. Should he return, he deserves a far better spot than carrying the prison known as 205 Live.
