#3 Worst: Dolph Ziggler got too much offence in

The match should have been far shorter than it was

Shinsuke Nakamura was the pivot the whole show was built around. While he did get a very positive reaction, we felt that the match that followed was not ideal. The Nakamura-Ziggler opening contest was good, but it wasn’t the first match Nakamura should have had.

Ziggler is too far down the card to have gotten in the kind of offence that he eventually did. If anything, going so long took away some of the steam that had been associated with Shinsuke Nakamura. We hope he regains it with his charismatic, enigmatic ways.
