Seems you also need to see Steel City Clash. Dragon/Quack and the main event are both at least ****.
Also, wanna put it out there that I won't be buying Double Feature II (not soon at least), so I won't be uploading it. Hopefully someone else has it uploaded sometime next week.
Even if Davey/KENTA wasn't the MOTY, it was still the best match featuring a North American wrestler not named or facing Shawn Michaels in a... very long time. Maybe since the Ladder War.

To each is own I suppose. I mean the match wasn't awful, but just seemed silly for the most part. Some of the spots were just ridiculous. Danielson/Morishima later that same month completely owns that match.

I can name so many that were better in between then and now. Nigel/Aries from Rising Above, Danielson/Nigel from 6YA, Albright/Pearce from DbD VII, Tyler/Nigel from TNP, Danielson/Marufuji from A New Level, AOTF/Teamwork from RIE 2, DbD VII 4 man elimination, and Steenerico/AOTF from Driven were better. In fact, Davey/KENTA is the best match since Danielson/Morishima from MM 2.

Didn't dig it as much as others, but it was still pretty friggin' amazing. The strikes were fucking sick, and Davey was a fantastic here. His tease of the Figure Four and the kicking of the security guard really made me smile. KENTA was KENTA. End of. I felt there was a pacing issue, as they just stayed on 11 the whole match as opposed to a slow build, but that's just more of a preference than a knock against. And why the fuck did NO ONE buy the D.R. Driver as a finish? Both the ending edit and Davey's character break really bugged me. The crowd, while a little annoying, really brought the energy. Overall, it was a fantastic match, but I felt with Davey's character developing and his history with KENTA, there should have been a story. There wasn't. But even so, these are minor gripes. Richards/KENTA II delivered.
