I consider this one of the 10-20 best matches I've seen under the WWE umbrella. The main event & best match on the tremendously fun NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff. In typical Walter fashion, it looks like these two are just pounding each other. Great drama, great high spots. And at 40 minutes, each guy's stamina is super impressive to me.

This isn't listed in the nominee list or in the 2019 thread, which kind of shocked me since it's in my personal top 10 & was a fairly well regarded match to boot (5*+ from Daddy Meltz).
Walter has one of the best big man styles I've ever seen, and Tyler Bate is, imo, just an all-time babyface talent, near or on the level of Steamboat, Santana, and Gargano.
While those things alone we pull be enough of a formula for something great, they get placed in front of an absolutely molten crowd where each audience member seems like they'd line up to take a chop from Walter themselves rather than see their hero lose that night. The soccer chanting makes for a raucous, memorable atmosphere, and Bate reminded the national audience that he wasn't just a great tag wrestler, but one of the best singles stars on WWE's 100+ person roster as well.

WWE United Kingdom Title Match : Tyler Bate vs. WALTER (WWE - 8/31/2019)
I'm surprised that this wasn't nominated before now but it's in my opinion the greatest match i've ever seen. Everything is perfect, from the heel work of WALTER who just destroy Bate and the back of Bate with evil moves, strikes, submissions and big spots. And Bate was obviously incredible too by being an incredible underdog, selling his back like it was about to break, his emotions were big and his comebacks were amazing. The big spots are all insane. The crowd is also incredible, i never heard something like that before, all behind Bate. The finish was wonderful too. Anyway, this was perfect.

This is already nominated but can be merged into the other thread.
I haven’t given this match much thought since it happened but I remember watching it twice that week.

I remember an amazing match on a Progress show maybe the year before, but never saw this one. I'll give it a try.

I liked the progress match more than this one. I don't have a lot of memory of this one other than it being predictably good.

The best thing I can say about this is that it’s a long match and I never got bored once. It’s not really my kinda thing but I had fun with it.
