#10 NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia - Johnny Gargano vs Andrade Cien Almas (NXT Championship Match)
This match is both an amazing example and a perfect candidate for the greatest match of all time. You honestly couldn't ask for anything more from a wrestling match. Putting on an absolute clinic, both men looked strong coming out of it which is a testament to how good they really are inside a wrestling ring.
Everything was perfect about this match. The build-up, the story, the match itself, and the aftermath.
The position that Johnny Gargano was in made everyone really buy into the story, making the match that much more important.
Being the underdog in this storyline made the NXT Universe really get behind him, similar to that of when the WWE Universe got behind Daniel Bryan in 2014.
Another thing that made this match so entertaining was Almas' manager, Zelina Vega. She interfered on more than one occasion. Given the stakes of this bout, you can only imagine that it would grind the gears of Gargano fans at the show, and around the world.
If you knew nothing about wrestling and someone showed you this match, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that you'd be more than impressed.
For pro-wrestling fans, watching it really helps to get away from reality for a bit and really enjoy a good show.
It makes our jobs as fans that much more easier when the product isn't a pain to watch and they put on great matches. This match is just that and more. If you haven't seen it, go watch it.
