[2013-06-15-PWG-Is Your Body Ready?] Adam Cole vs Sami Callihan (Iron Man)

[cactus]

I thought I liked Sami Callihan until I watched a sixty minute match of his. His flaws were exposed here. Spitting and swearing a lot doesn't make you a good worker.

 

I don't want to sound too negative on this. Cole excelled at being the asshole heel, and the drama of Sami trying to get one more win so the match would go into overtime was very compelling. The commentary is great as always and the playful nature of it helped me digest the long match much easier than if they called it seriously.

 

Some good-great stuff here, but there's so much filler and the match does drag on, I doubt I'll rewatch this any time soon.

Very fun for the first ten minutes until Cole gets the big lead with the three straight fall. Then goes quickly into time killing mode.

Sami suplexing Cole straight onto the one fan who stayed in his chair when they were fighting outside was pretty funny and also probably a bad idea realistically.

This match has more peoples elbows than the HHH-Rock Iron Man match.

I was thinking this match had two of the worst canadian destroyers I’ve ever seen. Until about 55 minutes in Adam Cole hits a canadian destroyer that blows the other two completely out of the water, barely rotating enough to not land back first on the mat.

Not the worst 60 minute match I’ve seen because I think Cole’s character stuff keeps the slow parts from being too boring.

*3/4
