Jetlag Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 It's the birth of indy dream match wrestling baby. Joe has come back from japan and has yoinked all kinds of cool things from the legends while Danielson is starting to come into his own. The opening hold for hold trading isn't anything brilliant but still feels inventive by 2019 US indy wrestling standards. There is guard work and they work for cross armbreakers but also snug cravates. When Danielson tries to get cute and throw shots Joe would make him pay dearly with a few crossfaces of his own. This was generally pretty hard hitting and they do a good job building to the big spots. This was slightly before they were really starting to put it all together, Joe wasn't quite the menacing badass, but he would really lay into Bryan with kicks, slam him hard to counter a basic headlock etc. On the other hand he would also bump for a feeble Bryan shoulderblock which is just weird. Bryan was pretty fun also hitting a big enzugiri and suicide dive. The one weak part were his head kicks as there seemed to be a lot of light there. Finish was all kinds of fun.

ohtani's jacket Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 @Jetlag You sure you got the right date on this? I can only find the Danielson/Samoa Joe tag match from this show. Is your review their 20 minute draw? The date I have for that is 9/29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
