Yeah...If that was ****, then you guys better give Steenerico vs. Speed Muscle the full 5.

Anyways, was that a new double team move The Guns hit before the stereo superkicks?

Edit: If this were my first time seeing Speed Muscle, I'd probably rate it the same...but it wasn't. I've seen all this before, so it wasn't as much of a match as it was "Hey, check out what we can do" and since The Guns didn't have as much offense, they gave them to win to keep them looking strong. Or it's TNA, they flipped a coin and heads was "The Guns win."

That the match never paused at all and is clearly memorable enough made it **** for me. I've obviously seen Speed Muscle before.

And is **** 1/2 high enough for Steenerico Speed Muscle? Awesome as it was, MCMG AOTF was better! (see roh weekly)

Just watched MCMG vs Speed Muscle, they pulled it off at an insane pace, really got my heart rate up.

I'm not really familiar with Speed Muscle so I don't know how it compares but I'd definitely give this ***½, maybe a bit higher after another watch. If they can replicate this in a longer X match (and survive the TNA overbooking machine) I think we'd have a classic for sure.

Wow, I had no idea at all Speed Muscle was TNAing it against the Guns. I'll have to check that out.

Slooooowly working through DGC II and I'll give both Steenerico/Speed Muscle and New Hazard/AOTF tags ****1/4. I actually preferred the latter, but both were fantastic I thought.

Ill give the Speed Muscle/MCMG match ***3/4, buts its extremely close to four. Arguably the best seven minute match I can remember, just a ridiculous amount of offense packed into such a small amount of time. If there rematch gets fifteen minutes I might explode from spot filled awesomeness.

[GP_Punk]

Speed Muscle vs. MCMG is 6 and a half minutes of spot-filled goodness at ***1/2-3/4 imo.

[jobberforlife]

I'm keeping an ongoing list of my ****+ matches of 2008 here.

[Caponex75]

^Didn't you give Aries/Stevens ***1/4?

[Y²]

***1/2 at most for Speed Muscle vs MCMG.
It was as good as it could have been for a 6minute match on Impact.

KENTA/Ishimori vs Shingo/Hulk is my favourite for the year so far, ****3/4. It just blew my mind, really had me on the Edge, even knowning the result. Constant action, decent story, good selling, a really simple (Yet Badass) finish. Everything I love about wrestling.

Black vs Nigel is close behind it, but Black really lacks the experiance factor at the moment, and did a lot of small things that annoyed me. Although it wasn't that big of a deal in this match since Nigel dominated it all it still took something away from it, imo anyway, I just don't want to overrate him because he is new, he's still the future of wrestling.

No commercials for the Kaz/Joe match either, which was about *** aswell.

Just saw Ito vs WX for the BJW Deathmatch title. OK match, but they both really worked their butts off to put on a good match. Add in the crowd going insane for WX and you have a solid *** 1/2 match.

I'm literally salivating at the teased WX/Kasai matchup.
