HM 7/28 G1 Climax Night 6 Ishii/Anderson. I loved everything about that drat match. I don't know if anyone else shares this opinion but I enjoyed it enough to give it a honorable mention.

Yuriy posted:HM Willie mack vs the cage - ultimate lucha Gonna 2nd this. Probably the best pure weapons match you'll see all year. I'll also give a HM to Drago vs. Hernandez, Ultima Lucha 7/29 The crowd interaction really helped to elevate this one, and it has an old-school rasslin' feel that you don't see much of in 2015. Highly recommend it, especially if you hate Hernandez.

I'll second yours, I loved how the fans went from being a bit timid to just whipping the poo poo out of him And the interaction between StarkRavingMad and Hernandez towards the end was great Edit: Also Drago and his nunchuks owned Yuriy fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Jul 30, 2015 |

Slow start to the G1 but holy poo poo... MOTYC: Shibata vs Ibushi Shibata can do no wrong in a short and stiff match and Ibushi matches up well. Started off with the simple story of two guys with a lot to prove in the G1 Climax but once they threw in that bit of disrespect, you know this is going to own. Some people complained about the no-sell sequence but I thought the context was right for it. That slap leading to the finish is one of the nastiest I've heard in a while. I have a feeling that these two guys will meet again in the knockout rounds. My body is ready.

This guy on PWO was able to articulate my feelings on that poo poo better than I couldquote:I have liked both guys this year, and the bulk of this match was very good if not great. But that no sell fest sequence was absolutely terrible. I've become accustomed to, and semi-tolerable of, singular instances of that sort of thing in a match even if I find it absurd in principle. That said this was possibly the worst sequence I've ever seen in a match, because it killed the entire feel of the match for me. It's one think for Sekimoto to no sell massive head trauma at the hands of Ishikawa - that was stupid and the match sucked, but they started from that point so I can except it as just a dumbass match from beginning to end. This on the other hand was the equivalent of two guys standing up in mid-match, looking at the camera and screaming "WRESTLING IS FAKE, NOTHING MATTERS!" For a sequence like that to occur with guys taking big time shots and head bumps and not only not selling but actually INCREASING the pacing during that point in the match is just awful. Why sell anything at that point? When do we know if a move has any impact or causes damage? Why sell big spots sometimes and not others? It's just nonsense, lazy as gently caress, dogshit air dropped into a match that didn't need it. The story was already there, both guys were looking tough without that bullshit, and after that I just threw up my hands and said "gently caress this bring back Tenzan and Makabe." They did some fun/violent looking stuff after, but who cares? They already established nothing matters, so why should I? That sequence was every bit as bad as the famed Edwards/Richards suplex, actually worse because it was in an otherwise strong match.

is that about the obsessive kick outs at 1 only because that was the only thing i didn't like about the match. Like 1 each from both dudes would have been fine but Ibushi had like 4 back to back.

Like with music I'm firmly in the "people are gonna like what they like and that's fine" camp these days. It's just loving wrestling.

nongdongfongbong posted:Slow start to the G1 but holy poo poo... Nth Ibushi's no-selling usually bothers me quite a bit but I didn't mind it so much here for whatever reason. Probably because he didn't get right up and hit seven flippy moves in a row right afterward.
