[2015-08-28-PWG-Battle of Los Angeles 2015: Day One] Jack Evans & Angelico vs. Rich Swann & Richochet

[Phil Schneider]

Took a while to get going, as they did a lot of dance contest horseshit which didn’t do much for me. Had a fun finishing run, including a great dive by Angelico, but the problem with tourneys like this is, is that you get inured to all of the high spots, there has been a reverse rana in every match so far, so when Rich Swann does one, it is hard to care, same with 450s and 630s, just the same kind of spots over and over again. I liked this fine, but I could see having a problem watching all three nights of this tournament.

So here's the weird thing - I was fine with Ospreay/Andrews but I hated this match.

I have no real logical explanation as to why one was perfectly passable to me while the other one got right on my tits but there you go.

Maybe I can handle breathless illogical spotfests when its a singles contest but don't respond as well to them in tag contexts, that might be a thing because this did nothing for me whatsoever despite being incredibly similar in execution to the previous match: a gazillion moves tacked onto already far too busy clusters of other moves, no room to breathe whatsoever, completely numbing.

The best thing about this by FAR was Jack Evans running his mouth and coming on like a cocky little shithouse.

1 1/2 Pitchers Of Warm Lager if you are a miserable git like me, 3 1/2 PWL if you are someone who enjoys life.

This doing the quick look only went under 20 minutes including comedy but was just never ending. It was just so many middling kind of high spots in a row with no end; I can't even describe why this match just annoyed me so much.
