Their last match I thought was awesome but held back by the first half. This is their all out, bloody, sprinty answer to that complaint. Super fun match, make sure to watch.
I take it I was the only one that didn't like Tanahashi/Mutoh...
I think you might be right, I just re-watched it since I thought I was being generous and yeah...dragon screw, figure four, shining wizard, dragon screw, shining wizard, frog splash, end. Not too mention it was pretty slow.
I'd give it ***** if it was an instructional video on how to do dragon screws though
Whole match was really awkward for me. With the amount of leg work Mutoh put in, Tanahashi should have been walking at all. Plus, the occasional Mutoh botch and Mutoh completely forgetting to sell his leg after gaining control of the match.
Oh well. I'm fallowing Metlzer's cut off date for MOTYCs, since it's a proper way to deal with shit like this...
Shadow WX vs. Yuko Miyamoto, 12/19/08.
**** 1/4
Absolutely incredibly booked match and Shadow's best title defense in his whole 'okay' title reign. Miyamoto FINALLY broke threw the glass ceiling and looked amazing doing it. Really emotional ending.
[Spoiler] MIYAMOTO IS THE FUCKING CHAMP. THAT'S SHOULD BE **** 3/4 ON ITS OWN [/spoiler]
P.S, keep your eyes out on BJW, it's going to be HOT this year.
