Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
PWG- Kevin Steen & El Generico(c) vs. Super Dragon and Davey Richards II for the PWG World Tag Team Titles
[spoiler]
For those that do not know, this is my current tag MOTYC but you should also know that I also had problems figuring out the story in this match despite liking so freakin much. I finally found a torrent of this again so I can rip a more high quality one this time and I actually think I finally found the story. Allot of it plays off of their match the night before, their styles, and some of the feuds they had in the past. Pre-match you can already tell Davey & Dragon are a little bit pissed at the fact they aren't wearing gold while Steenrico, not so much. Dragon and Davey try to become more calm of the situation by doing something that brightens their day and that is by shitting on something. However, whenever they try to do so, Steen foils their plan, and ends up shitting on them which gets them frustrated as well as pissing them off a little bit more. Now we are actually onto the match where Davey fails in trying to outwrestle Steen/Generico. Now this is where I started to notice the story beginning as Davey never really got full demanding control in his chain wrestling untill he kicked Generico in the face. That causes Steen to make the tag, outwrestle Davey, and tags back in his partner.
This is where styles come to play as Davey says "To hell with the wrestling" and starts kicking the shit out of Generico before tagging in Super Dragon. Super Dragon goes off on Generico and this turns into a grade A brawl which plays in the favor of the challengers. That is really good storytelling that I didn't notice before because I was thinking it was "They know each other" kind of shit. I like how SDDR take control of the match up when they start throwing tem bows or whatever you kids say these days. Steen finally gets into the match up, renews his feud with Dragon for about a second, and uses his highflying abillity to take him out of the match for a sec. Steen wins in a short battle against Davey and wrestles his way to avoid the striking of Richards(Like when Davey went for the roundhouse kick and it ended up being turned against him into that neckbreaker Steen uses). Generico uses his highflying to elminate Super Dragon for awhile and that's another show of how the styles are playing against one another. Steen & Generico are using their highflying/fun offense to keep themselves on the winning side.
Anyway, Steen BLANTLEY guides Generico into what they are going to do next which is also a hidden gem in the story of the match. While SDDR are pissed and whatnot, Steen is just taking them lightly and not being as Uber SERIOUS~ as they are. This has been a trait that he has been showing through the whole match actually. Well to the match up, Steen being so light hearted in this match ends up getting him a kick to the face by Richards as he yells for Dragon to get on the apron(Kinda like that more then the partner knowing exactly where to be). Dragon and Generico tag in and Generico does his OLE~ arm drag only to get caught in a backbreaker. Now to think of it, both of Steenrico are taking it easy in the match and their fun style isn't exactly paying off for them. Dragon curbstomps his ass and this sets up for a Powerbomb/Lung blower combination move. Generico finds his way out of the move and ducks a Enziguri attempt by Davey which ends up hitting Dragon.
Davey STOs him stupid for that but gets caught by Steen with a gutbuster, Steen misses the moonsault so he gets lariated out of his shoes by Dragon, Generico saves his partner from a Psycho Driver coming up by Half-Nelsoning Dragon, Davey hits him with the alarm clock, Steen catches Davey running at him and powerbombs his ass, and all four men are down. Big sequence which was pretty awesome but I don't think was nessacary for the story of the match. Davey clotheslines Steen over the top and Dragon gets a shoulder full of steel trying to attack Generico. Steenrico once again gets control with their highflying and just about nearly win the match after a Swanton Bomb/Splash combination. Steen starts to show he is taking this match cooler then everyone else again and starts instructing Generico in a very obvious manner. Generico tag out after failing to hit the Super Brain BUSTAH~! and Steen tries to go for the Package Piledriver but Davey wrestles him into the double stomp/Back cruncher combo. Karma.
Dragon takes the time out of his day to HURL HIS BODY AT GENERICO ON THE OUTSIDE WHILE DAVEY GOES FOR THE PIN THAT GETS 2!! Karma, Irony, I don't know the word but the shit that was working earlier for Steenrico is now being used against them! Davey wants to end this with the SSP but Steen stops him and STILL showing how much of a jackass he is by taking this lightly as he calls for the Brainbustah! So in response, Davey & Super Dragon brutalize Steen untill he can't see straight and Generico makes the save. Fucking A! Dragon tosses him to the floor as Davey goes up top! Dragon kills Generico outside with a Psycho Driver and Davey wins the match after a beautifull SSP! That is some great ass storytelling with some great action to follow. Champs took the duo lightly and ended up paying for it.
[/spoiler]
Great job with the styles, how the reaction was to the match the night before, and just working the whole ordeal. Steen did a fantastic job being a cocky asshole, as well as Generico, and SDDR did a good job at being those unhappy bastards not being able to get thier way. Side note but Dragon getting the fan back for saying something smart to him was awesome. I might rate this higher after realising how good of storytelling this was but I'm going to post the same rating as before. No idea to as to why I wrote so much but I just like getting into detail.
****1/4

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
They were? I thought they were fine untill the end where Steen had to direct the camera to rotate the camera.

I distinctly remember at least 2 big spots ruined (well maybe not totally ruined, but made worse) by that stupid IPW dork weilding the camera.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I think you may be talking about their first match in France. Only spot that was ruined by the camera was the CURBSTOMP~!

Big match feel to it, great atmosphere, great work by both men, good chemistry between the two, excellent selling by Triple H in particular, and a hot finishing sequence. Great match.
