One of the great sub-10 min matches. No wasted moment here with Balor full of urgency and fire, as well as novel GI psychology, sold expertly by Lesnar. The commentary was atrocious though.

2nd, this match definitely exceeds expectations. It feels forgotten but is a highlight of Lesnar’s run.

I remember at the time really loving this one and then the match losing its luster of the past couple years. I can’t think of a better Balor performance.

Hard not to compare it to the Bryan match at Survivor Series & it's sooooooooooooo much better. Best Brock match since the Mania match with Roman with the awful Seth finish. .

Next time I make a top 100 I think I am going to really privilege matches I remember/think about often and this is one of them. Could make my 90-100. Finn going after the abdomen playing off Lesnar's diverticulitis history is so cool, and the spot where he runs Lesnar gut-first into the sharp edge of the announce table rules. I also love how Lesnar doesn't do any German suplexes in this match. I was getting so tired of that from him around this time, so I really marked out at the spot where he went for one but couldn't pull it off because his stomach hurt too bad. Brock also takes some incredible over the top dives from Finn here.

I watchEd this the other day and I really loved it. I loved it in the moment and even more now. It’s the best I have ever seen Balor look and Brock is a master of selling.
Balor is really aggressive and that’s his only shot. You can tell he’s not got the impactful offense but he’s opportunistic and aggressive but the aggressiveness is eventually what does him in. He made me believe. This one gets lost behind the Bryan and AJ matches of the time but it really is a fantastic match that I am considering for the bottom of my list.
