2nd, what a match!

Edit: You guys ever see that episode of Tiny Toons where the teachers have to sit through a 12 hour experimental art film and then it's followed by a film cut down to 2 seconds because of the overrun?

WMOTY: THE Brian Kendrick vs Kallisto at Survivor Series, 2016

I was in two minds on whether to nominate this - for 95% of the match it was perfectly serviceable, even good in parts. But then the ending... holy poo poo the ending. Indicative of everything wrong with WWE, everything wrong with how the Cruiserweights have been handled since the CWC finished, managing to make both guys look like afterthoughts in a match that was supposed to set the scene for an upcoming show devoted ENTIRELY to their division. Awful, just awful.

I'll second this. It was just the icing on a series of questionable booking decisions designed to leave a bitter taste in your mouth.

More seriously, yes. This was a very fun match besides a couple hiccups that largely made up for a crummy PPV with bad booking.

I think I agree. This is what really turned me on the PPV and it's a microcosm of everything wrong with how WWE's done the Cruiserweights this time around post-CWC.

I will third this. While I appreciate the reference to WCW on the night Goldberg destroyed WWE, any match with the Captain's Hook is the worst match of the year.

Not sure if I can totally agree with the 8 man, but I'll go ahead and second Ricochet vs. Lewis Girvan, if only for the sick rear end flip at the beginning. Show was pretty good overall, not many standouts, but a solid afternoon watch, outside of one gently caress finish the cage match for the title.
