Zoo Enthusiast Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 This isn’t as awesome as their PWG match a few months ago but I still really liked it. WALTER just being a grizzly bear. Crowd was pretty hot for it, as well, especially considering it is EVOLVE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I feel like this one is being undersold, but maybe I am just a mark for both these guys. I don't think they are capable of a bad match. This fucking ruled to me. This was a bit slower than their PWG match or their Progress match and is still maybe my third favorite of their recent high-ish profile encounters, but I still thought this was top notch stuff. Sabre having real trouble denting the armor of Walter here was awesome as Walter either countered or shrugged off a lot of Sabre's offense. When Sabre did get something he really had to work for it. The story as I saw it was Sabre's game plan just not working out well as he takes too much trauma in the early and middle stages to out last Walter and catch him slipping later. Walter's offense - as always - looked brutal as he laid just about everything in. Especially in the final quarter of the match when Sabre was loopy and in survival mode. You could see his grasp on the match slipping, even when he kicked out at one. This was a more definitive and dominant finish than their Progress or PWG matches, which I thought was a nice touch, especially as this feud feels a bit like a changing of the guard as indy wrestling's ace. ****1/2 for me. I loved this match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnviousStupid Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 One of the most tolerable examples of Zack Sabre Jr.'s wrestling style. More stripped down, not so counter-heavy, in a match that never really asks him to be sympathetic, although the circumstances in the promotion do make it easy to accept him as such. WALTER has obvious physical advantages, and Zack is recognised as an excellent technician who has a chance to win if he can keep it on the mat or maybe isolate a body part to home in on. Thing is, Zack is also arrogant, prideful, and very prone to fighting WALTER at his own game. He never wins that game. Despite ample chances and hope spots, Zack tried running head-on at a giant, only to get beaten down every time. As much of a cathartic release as I could hope for, as someone who never loved the scrawny brit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
