#2 Best: The match they should have had before
Trending
The first time these two men met, their match was underwhelming. This week, they did a repeat of their Backlash performance on TV, and absolutely lived up to the hype. Trading MMA holds and telling a story of two evenly matched competitors who do not like each other, Shinsuke Nakamura and Dolph Ziggler had one of the best TV matches in recent memory.
This match could have been on a PPV, and nobody would have batted an eyelid considering the outcome. Dolph Ziggler was elevated as a result of this match, and Nakamura felt like an even bigger star than he has been booked as, recently.
While taking down notes, we almost put this point in the ‘Worst’ column, because we were scared that Nakamura would lose his sheen if he wrestled on TV. He certainly won’t if he wrestles like this, regularly and consistently.
