It seemed there was a mini revolution with WWE over this past week as they kepy trying to out do themselves with every show they aired; it worked.
In the famous words of Jasper Beardly (the old man from The Simpsons), "What a time to be alive."
Following WWE Battleground, Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live and NXT it seemed as if The Cruiserweight Classic would be lost in the shuffle; far from it.
Zack Sabre Junior outdoes Houdini
The Britton treated the American crowd at Full Sail University to one great show as he, along with Tyson Dux, put on not the most exciting match ever but one that included sheer technical brilliance.
Sabre's quickness quickly became an issue for the Canadian who despite applying every hold in his repertoire could not keep hold of the Master of Escapeology.
Dux quickly had to alter his original game-plan and looked to use his strength to his advantage with a number of clotheslines but it was too little too late.
The Englishman locked in an array of submission maneuvers from a Kamura to a full body lock then transitioned into a Oma Plata which was the final straw for the Canadian who quickly submitted.
Gulak nothing
Drew Gulak fought hard and eventually wore down his smaller opponent Harv Sihra, both men had great in-ring chemistry and may have been the match of the night.
The American looked to hit hard and cause as much pain as possible and this showed when midway through the match his slammed the Indian representative onto the ropes.
Sihra was not in the mood to be bulled about and threw Gulak out of the ring before delivering a huge middle rope spring board cross body.
Despite a late surge of some ground and pound action from one half of The Bollywood Boyz it was not enough to restrain Gulak who took his chance and locked in a Dragon Sleeper hold and Sihra had nowhere to go but to tap-out.
A Nese victory
Pitting these two performers together immediately looked a mismatch as the much smaller Anthony Bennett looked like a boy in a man's world stood next to Tony Nese.
The youngster however held his own and got in a number of offensive moves but the more powerful Nese shrugged off every maneuver.
Bennett danced his way to the ring but was lucky to be able to walk back as in the closing stages of the match be was rendered unconscious following a power slam but the official gave the go ahead for the match to continue.
The Monster Factory performer may be should have refused to continue as moments later he was yet another victim of Nese who hit a powerful 450 splash to pick up the pin-fall victory.
Brian still has a few Kendrick's up his sleeve
What a way to mark out The Brian Kendrick's return as the veteran got off the mark with a win over one of the most exciting performers within the competition Raul Mendoza.
The Mexican arguably may have stole the show with his unique offense that including a jaw-dropping coast-to-coast hinting at shades of Shane McMahon.
However the veteran Kendrick sporting a look more suited to Game of Thrones used every ounce of his experience to pick up the victory including opening Mendoza's mouth before placing it onto the ropes and kicking as hard as possible.
With the Luchador opened up early on it set the tone for the vicious nature of the former WWE man who looked for every opening to pick up the victory.
It would be The Bully Choke that would eventually help Kendrick pick up the victory as the bloodied mouth of the Mexican was blocking his airwaves and for the sake of his health he tapped out.
