Generico vs Kingston, Chikara 1/23

El Generico vs Eddie Kingston, Chikara "Chaos In The Sea Of Lost Souls"

I am a big fan of both guys but found this to be underwhelming. Kingston is best served as working as an underdog or a bully, and tends to be mediocre when working the middle ground of a match between two equals such as this. This was a really dry indy dream match affair. There were some hard shots dished out by both guys, but also some really visibly fluffed stuff like Generico's yakuza kick on the apron missing by a country mile. The final five minutes were pretty decent with Kingston overwhelming Generico, leading to him eating a brutal brainbuster on the apron (one of the biggest bumps Kingston has ever taken?) and a hot count-out nearfall, but everything before it was dull. Kingston's pre-match promo was pretty great, though.
