[2015-08-28-PWG-Battle of Los Angeles 2015: Day One] Pentagon Jr vs Drago

[Phil Schneider]

This was a bummer, I like both guys a lot and you figure they would have lots of experience working each other, but lots of this felt off, and even the big spots weren’t as big or interesting as stuff that was hit earlier in the tourney. Pentagon Jr. has a lot of charisma but this wasn’t good.

Agreed that this was underwhelming. You want Pentagon to fly off the screen like a wrecking ball but the charisma and unpredictability kind of stopped at the bell here.

I liked both guys getting in each others face pre bell, bit of heat to start things off had me pretty excited, especially considering their previous experience of working together.

These two, at least for the first half of the match, had what a lot of the rest of the guys were lacking tonight: letting themselves and the audience breathe between high spots. THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!

However, I felt this became very aimless indeed very quickly... I'd have loved to have seen Pentagon mercilessly working over a body part some more to give this some extra heat and establish more of a story throughout the match. Disappointing.
