19. Maximising Their Minutes

Drew Gulak and Cesaro were only granted 4:30 to weave magic on the night one Kickoff Show but more than maximised their minutes, delivering a hard-hitting, story-driven battle in 'Mania 36's first proper match.

This was lovely stuff. Two of WWE's better technicians meshed perfectly as a focused arm-based assault rendered one of Cesaro's limbs useless, forcing him into an inventive hands-free Airplane Spin for the victory, proving, once again, that 'Wrestling Purist' is much more than a t-shirt slogan.

Fingers crossed chapter two, if we get it, is a tad longer. Regardless, Gulak and Cesaro couldn't have done more with that they were given.
