[2017-05-14-PROGRESS-Chapter 48: Bang the Drum] Matt Riddle vs Tyler Bate

[ShittyLittleBoots]

The finish was absolute dogshit, but it didn't take anything away from this incredible match. They went for an indy epic w/ lots of big moves, counters + nearfalls & they sure delivered one - all the while not going overkill. Fantastic stuff. ****1/4

[Cap]

Just watched this. I wasn't that high on it. It was lots of offense and some good back and forth, but it felt like both guys getting in the hits before the inevitable screwy end. The execution was good, minus a few places where they didn't hit some of the big things just right. I thought Tyler's character work was honestly the highlight. Overall, it was good. It gave the fans exactly what they wanted, but nothing special (IMO) from either. ***1/4
