[2018-01-12-PWG-Mystery Vortex V] The Chosen Bros (Matt Riddle & Jeff Cobb) vs Ringkampf (Timothy Thatcher & WALTER)

[ShittyLittleBoots]

A very good FIP segment w/ Thatcher to start things off; Thatcher sells it tremendously (no surprise there) & the work by Bros was good - especially by Riddle who's offense came off as super violent. Loved it. WALTER's hot tag was great, he came in & chopped the crap out of Cobb & Riddle. Now that lead to a FIP segment w/ Cobb & that was outstanding! Cobb sold his ass off & Ringkampf's work over him was terrific - they brutalized Cobb in such compelling fashion. Once Cobb finally got to make the hot tag to Riddle, Riddle came in with a house of fire~! & beat the crap out of Thatcher & WALTER for a while - that was until Ringkampf cut off his hot tag in amazing, strategic fashion. The finishing stretch sees them dominate Riddle for a while until Cobb sneaks back in after he had been resting for a while - The Chosen Bros deliver a couple of amazingly brutal looking double team moves to finish off an outstanding tag match. The selling of Cobb, the brutal offense of WALTER, Thatcher & Riddle, the fire of Riddle & the teamwork of Ringkampf make for an amazing package of tag team wrestling. ****1/4

The only thing that I didn't like here was that Thatcher ignored selling his ribs/midsection when it was Ringkampf's turn to work a control segment. After the way that Riddle threw those knees and elbows at him, there's no way that he should have been able to take over Cobb with a butterfly suplex with ease. Other than that, this was great stuff. Both teams' control segments were a blast to watch, and the match doesn't break down after Riddle's tag, they keep working smart. If not for Thatcher's selling lapse, this would easily by my match of the year pick.
