Tenese Sarwieh Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 This right here rocked. Nice grappling from both trying the get the submission win then escalating into a slap battle with some hard hits. Smith has a known grappling background so this wasn’t a surprise to anyone but Kross stood out for me. Really hope he incorporate this style more in Impact and other places he work.

aaeo_ Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 So weird to see Kross work different than how he does in AAA. He's a really entertaining and charismatic guy, and seeing him go for the (rope? edge of the ring?) break over and over again was the best part of this match, even though he looked like one of the less skilled grapplers on this show. I really enjoyed Smith's kickboxing at the start of the match, killing Kross with leg kicks and checking everything he throws back, but thought the striking exchange towards the end was very stilted. The suplex Smith gets off before submitting Killer Kross was incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
