2015 wXw 16 Carat Gold – Night #1

Overall, I thought this was a much stronger first night than the 2014 version of the tournament, The two big reasons were a stronger field and better time allocation amongst the matches.  Until the Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Axel Tischer match (the last tournament match of the first night), none of the other seven tournament matches went longer than 14 minutes and five were under 10 minutes.  The three matches that went over ten minutes were good choices to be given more time (Sabre/Tischer, Axel Dieter Jr./Thatcher, and Tommy End/Chris Sabin).  Those three matches all had at least one guy if not two or who knew how to fill a 10+ minute match appropriately.  For the most part, the execution supported that idea.  On the flip side, none of the sub-10 minute matches felt like they were too short at all.
