shoe Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 This was the match I was most excited about. Boc is incredible, and plucky babyface Hennig is a ton of fun. This is the vet versuses the up and coming blue chipper. Fun mat sequence to start. Hennig puts over Boc's forearms beautifully and made them look like a jackhammer. Boc laying it in. Puts Hennig's head into the table. Another nasty forearm by Boc. Boc with a headbutt to the back of Hennig's head. Boc gets the crowd riled up. Hennig gets the leg and slams it on the apron. Hennig with a 2nd wind nails Boc with a drop kick. Hennig with some KOTM spots. Big suplex by Hennig gets 2!!!!! We get a head on collision between the 2. Boc positions him in the corner and rams the ribs. Big backdrop by Boc. Big kneelift and again. Boc working the midsection/ribs. Hennig reverses a piledriver. Bockwinkel sleeper, in the corner Boc peppers the midsection. Great hopespot by Hennig gets 2. Hennig fires back up. Boc with a Figure 4. Hennig's facials are great here. Rope break, and Boc attacks the leg. Another Figure 4!!! Again we get a rope break. Boc back to leg and Hennig catches Boc in a small package. This was great and another killer match in their series. Boc bloodies him up postmatch, and finishes him off with a piledriver. This wasn't the match I was expecting, but it ruled none the less. 4 1/4* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Holy shit, great match and even greater post-match beatdown angle. Bockwinkel was amazing here. Loved this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcg91 Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago This was somewhat clipped or badly taped in general. Bock happily took Hennig to school here, but he gave the youngster quite a lot of space at the beginning, before taking over with his mat experience. Hennig's courage and stamina were put over with his performance, which will help in the future for longer matches. Fine rib work by Bock on Hennig, but his decent selling wasn't on par with the best workers of the business yet. He did well in the figure four later on, anyway, before the flashy finish which was perfect because it gave Hennig a clean win despite Bock being clearly the best worker in the ring ***1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
