[2008-06-22-wXw/NOAH-Dead End VIII: European Navigation] Bryan Danielson vs Nigel McGuinness

[ShittyLittleBoots]

Terrific storytelling with Bryan looking to tire Nigel out (while annoying the wXw fans at the same time) w/ submission holds, specifically the CHINLOCK. Bryan's facial expressions while working Nigel over w/ a wristlock while the crowd is booing the shit out of him = GOLD. The whole dynamic was actually really fun, because at the same time over in ROH, Bryan & Nigel were having a World Championship feud where Nigel was an absolute bastard of a heel while Bryan was the babyface ace. Pretty cool how the dynamic flipped when their rivalry made it's way to Germany. Great match. ****1/4
