cactus Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 El Generico comes down in street clothes and we find out that he is no condition to compete because of his shoulder injury. The PWG Champion Bryan Danielson storms down to the ring and tells Generico if he doesn't wrestle tonight, he'll never get a title shot. 'Serious Wrestler' Heel Danielson was so good, gutted we never got to see it in the WWE. Anyway, match starts and Bryan works on Generico's arm and shoulder and it's brutal. Think Zack Sabre Jr. style stretching and times it by ten. Generico gets a few hope spots in after he nails a handful of Helluva kicks, but Danielson eventually puts him away with Cattle Mutilation. This was very enjoyable. It reminded me of an old school Mid South TV angle. Only thing that holds it back is that it's too back and forth for what it was hopin to achieve, but it's PWG, so it's to be expected. ★★★¼ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShittyLittleBoots Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Generico is coming into this w/ a banged up shoulder, but Danielson wants to fight him regardless. So you get an injured El Generico going against Bryan Danielson. That is an absolutely perfect dynamic, right there. Generico starts the match with good fire, going after Danielson right away, but that ends pretty quickly as Danielson catches his arm while he is attempting a big splash from the top rope. Danielson tortures the crap out of Generico by stretching & beating that injured arm of his, but Generico won't go down without a goddamn fight. It wasn't gonna be as easy of a night as Danielson might've thought - Generico shows tremendous heart as he refuses to quit, gets some big nearfalls & big comebacks in. Danielson sells this with his facial expressions perfectly. The Cattle Mutilation -> Generico's foot on the ropes -> Elbows which Generico sells like death -> KICKOUT! was an absolutely tremendous sequence. And that last big Generico comeback, my goodness! That Brainbuster nearfall was great as was the finish with Danielson just destroying the man. What an amazing, energetic underdog tale which was told perfectly in front of a red hot crowd that played into the dynamic also perfectly. A classic. ****1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
