[2001-10-26-APW-King of the Indies 2001] Samoa Joe vs Frankie Kazarian

[cactus]

Don't let Samoa Joe's crap gear fool you, he was still brilliant even in his early years. He's ruthless and it's clear that he was studying his Battlarts tapes. Poor Frankie Kazarian doesn't stand much of a chance against Joe, so he tries to outclass him with his high-flying.

I'm impressed how all the mat-wrestling on this show so far looks. It feels more authentic than what we have seen in a lot of indy shows from the past decade. More traditional, but never to the point of slow.

Overall, a fast match that made Joe look like an unstoppable monster and a potential King of the Indies winner.
