10 Incredible Matches That Make No Mercy WWE’s Best Ever B-Show
5. The Miz Vs. Dolph Ziggler (2016)
Almost punished for his talent at times in WWE, The Miz routinely suffers the type of professional mistreatment Dolph Ziggler's diminishing fanbase believe remains exclusively reserved for 'The Show Off'. No Mercy 2016 saw both men robbed of what they deserved, when the company elected to run with a lifeless Randy Orton/Bray Wyatt clash (imagine that) in place of their evocative Intercontinental Title clash as the main event of the evening's show.
A contest that could still prove to be Ziggler's last great moment in WWE, the match was a throwback to the type of technical classic every recent holder of the secondary title has professed to wishing to recreate in the vein of the belt's time with Mr. Perfect, Bret Hart, and Shawn Michaels in eras gone by.
An expert heel, Miz turned up the intensity opposing Dolph in a 'Title vs Career' battle following Ziggler's repeated losses on Tuesday Nights. Fighting for his life in a manner not seen since he'd heroically attempted to work through concussions just to cling on to his World Title back in 2013, Ziggler courageously refused to lose, circumnavigating Miz's mental and physical deconstruction before and during the dazzling clash.
The thunderous response to his career-saving and title-winning superkick highlighted how invested in the chracter the fans were, as fleeting as that enthusiasm may ultimately have been.
