ShittyLittleBoots Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 This is Eddie doing his Kings Road tribute shtick, and it's fucking awesome. His opponent captivates too in my first time watching him; Thomas Shire is a tall, lanky dude, who is apparently trained by Dory Funk Jr. He does a lot of sweet suplexes + uppercuts, sells well & overall puts on a pretty great fighting from underneath performance, as Eddie just keeps on brutalizing him in an EXTREMELY compelling fashion. Badass match. **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartMark15 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 I love Eddie Kingston, have done since his Grand Champ days in CHIKARA. Thus I really wanted to love this match, and while the work is certainly there, some things out of the wrestlers' control hindered it for me. A hotter crowd, better sound. All little things that I would have liked improved just to put this over the edge for me. That being said, the physical performances were fantastic with Shire truly showing his Dory Funk Jr. influence and Kingston bringing the fire with his All Japan love. A nice hidden gem on a smaller indie. ***3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
