Had fun helping Phil kickstart his new show. Nobody drops analogies like Phil and he has a few in this show worth hearing.

That Hotta/Aja match is an all-time favorite of mine. I'm not sure it's Aja's best match, but it might be her most entertaining match. Absolutely insane. Glad to see it made the list.

I watched the Low-Ki / Dickinson match prior to listening and agree completely with the Davey Richards comparison (on the surface at least). First thing that popped in my head, highlighted by his very spotty selling (if at all) during this one. I also liked his heelish-ness, including the eye poke (crowd hated that) and Low-Ki's selling of it while he floundered at Dickinson's face trying to poke him back. Thought that was very good.

 

Low-Ki's punch flurry was insane and the best spot of the match. I thought he was awesome throughout. Very believable (and thought he sold the variety of submissions real well).

 

Good stuff guys.
