corwo Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Hot TV match with a raucous Toronto crowd. Gable brought the aggression early on, leading to a German Suplex on the apron. You could argue that an apron move wasn't needed since this only went 11 minutes, and that they went to the well too early, but all-action matches are scarce in WWE. I appreciated them going for something a little different than your typical television match structure filled with a bunch of rest holds. I also thought Owens' long-term selling of the effects of the apron suplex was solid, as he hobbled around the ring out of exhaustion for the remainder of the match. The highlight was a twisting Superplex from Owens to Gable. My biggest gripe is how quickly Owens recovered from a missed Swanton, following up with a Superkick and a Pop-Up Powerbomb to finish Gable off. But otherwise, this was good stuff. ***1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
