I feel dumb for not seeing it. I was in that section earlier today...
Thanks
__________________ A wrestling match is like a balanced diet. The basics are carbs, keeping you going. Armdrags may not be the highlight, but they're key to the development. Dairy is emotion and crowd interaction, like bones, they strengthen the match, and in there absense, the it will fall apart. Meat is moves like suplexes and finishers. They’re cool, but if you rely on them you’d be unhealthy, and the matches unwatchable. Mat work is fruits and vegetables. We may not like them, but some is sweet chain wrestling. Last is spots and indy MoVEz~!, your sugars and fats. You can't just eat chocolate, and thus you need to do more than flips and head drops to get above ****.
No Limit vs MCMG ***3/4
Nice double team action here. I just would've wished that the crowd had been a bit more into it. The Guns seemed to have a hard time to get any reaction from them although they had the better moves in my opinion.
Keiji Mutoh vs Hiroshi Tanahashi ***1/2
The story was good, but I couldn't really get into it. All the Dragon Screws looked great, but there was just too many of them. I liked how they used the Figure Four though. One thing that really bugged me is Mutoh botching some sells. His dropkick didn't really look good either and the Shining Wizards looked kinda half assed most of the time.
Alex Shelley vs Chris Sabin for the X-Division Championship ****1/2
What a great match! The first match in at least a month where I could just sit back and watch and get into a match. There were several situation where I though it would be over, but it kept going and I was really stoked by that. The crappy ending kinda left a bad taste in my mouth but at least the right person won.
Kurt Angle vs Jeff Jarrett (No DQ) ****1/4
I liked this match slightly better than their first one. This one was really intense with a great story behind it and it came out just like I expected it to be. A bloody brawl. Not too much technical wrestling here (just enough to make the match good though), but the match was perfectly logical and kept me excited every second of it.
Edit: Now I have two images in my head when I hear the name Kurt Angle... Somersault off the stage and Angle Slam off the stage... holy shit!
