[2001-10-27-APW-King of the Indies 2001] Low Ki vs Samoa Joe

[cactus]

This is exactly what you would expect and it's brilliant. A hard hitting match with a strong shoot style influence. Joe gets the better of most exchanges, but all it takes is one big strike landing and Ki has control. They even do the spot where they take turns selling strikes and it doesn't look hokey, unlike the number of times ROH has attempted to replicate that same moment throughout the years. Both guys look strong from these, even with the submission ending.

★★★½

This was cool. These guys match up really well and I'm looking forward to seeing how their rivalry progresses.
