[2005-10-23-TNA-Bound For Glory] Samoa Joe vs Jushin Liger

[G. Badger]

Joe taking on two puro legends in 1 month is pretty remarkable!

 

Amazing cool entrance by Joe and Liger's wasn't too shabby with his NJ music, full shoulder pads, and streamers. Liger, sized wise, looked like a good match for Joe. Shorter but, thick as Joe. Crowd was amped.

 

Joe pretty much did his 'standard' TNA act here but, Liger switched it up from his 2005 routine and played it like a younger junior taking on the heavyweight. So, we got a few moments of brilliance from Liger as well as him taking to the air.

 

The only thing stopping this from being a great match was the time it was given. It reminded me of a Fire Pro Wrestling match where you get a Critical just as you're starting to amp things up. Highly recommended match and a successful dream match in my book.

Great entrance from Joe. This wasn't a great match but it had to have been a thrill for Joe to wrestle Liger and at least Liger was treated better than that shit with Russo in WCW.
