Samoa Joe vs ACH 3/13/15
I've mulled this one over for a bit. I've watched it a few times and think it's a low end MOTYC at 4 1/4* It has a similar feel to Otani/Inaba, but a lot of differences as well. ACH is the wrestler on the threshold of becoming a main eventer to Joe the ROH legend. At 1st Joe has disdain for ACH, and ACH wants to go toe to toe with Joe. He tries this valiantly but each time Joe is too much for him. Joe either out strikes ACH or uses his mass to stop ACH in his tracks.Joe goes to the mat and just stretches ACH for a bit, and just beats on him. For a flurry ACH is able to do some fun leg work on Joe. Though ACH's cockiness costs him when he goes to the top and misses a splash. We go outside and Samoa Joe charges ACH and in a call back to the leg work does a low level drop kick to the knee. ACH does a little taunting on the outside and Joe will have none of that and brutalizes ACH on the outside. The tide turns and ACH has a nice run of offense and it's more ACH based. Eventually though Joe is too much. We build to the finish and ACH has some nice counters to the Muscle Buster, and the rear naked choke. Though Joe really dishes it out to ACH. Eventually ACH falls to the Muscle Buster.
