[2007-04-22-IWA-MS/ACW] Low Ki vs Hotstuff Hernandez

[Jetlag]

Wonderful wonderful match. Based on small show matches like this that no one remembers I think it's safe to say Low Ki is an all time great. This was Bill Watts UWF meets Indy Wrestling, with Hernandez as One Man Gang and Low Ki chopping him down. The first 10 minutes or so Hernandez doesn't even take a bump, it's all Ki trying to chop the giant down and hit the body slam, and the crowd just loves this. Both Kis strikes and crazy ragdoll bumping were worldclass. Hernandez has some sprinkles of cool athleticism of his own, he also uses the canadian backbreaker which rules and even his shoves felt violent. I'm not sure how good Hernandez exactly is but he was really good in this role for sure. Kis athleticism and babyface selling was just off the charts, up there with the best of Rey Mysterio or Steamboat.

This was really good. Great to see my boy Low Ki plying his craft like this. Not the typical sort of Low Ki match I'd seek out as it was a classic big man vs little man match, but man was Low Ki's selling great. Hernandez was 100% convincing in his role as the bruiser, but it was the precision and detail that Low Ki put into the bout that drew me in. Talk about a textbook takedown of a big man. Rey Mysterio would have been proud to work this bout.
