[2016-12-03-CHIKARA-Supremacy] Drew Gulak vs Mike Quackenbush

[Edwin]

This is one of Gulak's final matches on the indys before taking off and being with the WWE full time. He mentions in a promo before the match he was asked some weeks ago who he wanted to face on his final run on the indys before he took of so they could try to put those matches together and Quack was the second opponent on that list. The match itself is fantastic. They develop a teacher vs. student story throughout the match with Gulak's more gritty grappling vs. Quack's more flashy faux WoS grappling. They start off with a great double knuckle lockup and there's a bit where Gulak tries to trip Quack, but Quack is smart enough to see it coming and counters it by moving backwards and then flinging Gulak with a monkey flip. There's also another great bit with Gulak leg kicking Quack and Quack convinces Gulak to continue throwing leg kicks making him think he will engage in a you turn, my turn exchange with Quack catching one of Gulak's kicks and hitting a nasty dragon screw leg whip. Despite Quack being Gulak's trainer, Gulak still works super stiff and he puts some heat behind strikes blasting Quack with a great diving clothesline and some brutal grounded elbows you could hear the thuds from him landing them. Loved how they cutback on the false finishes and the only big false finish came from a roll up that got a big pop in near the finish. One of the best matches in the companies history.
