The Wrestling Bucket

Prince Devitt vs Low Ki, NJ in USA 5/14

Dissapointing indy dream match spotfest. The crowd was hot, and both guys hit spectacular dives, but the match itself was just them running through their movesets. No thanks.

Chris Hero vs El Generico, ROH Supercard Of Honor VI

Fun mid-card match, but ultimately nothing spectacular. They did some comedy with Generico calling Hero Thor, and Hero bonking him with an inflatable hammer before working a cat-and-mouse style match. Hero eventually laid in the beating, but then we got a dusty finish with Generico's leg on the rope. Very random booking, and Generico won instantly after the re-start, which was underwhelming.

The Briscoes vs The All Night Express, ROH Supercard Of Honor VI (Street Fight)

I kind of had my hopes up too high for this as it's been my favourite feud in wrestling this year, but this was a very good match if not a blowaway great one. My main problem was that it was too spotty and had too many set-up highspots and not as much out-and-out brawling as I would have liked. But it was still ultimately what you want here, four guys beating each other to bloody messes and doing crazy wreckless shit. The brawling was all very good, the weapons were used well and there was plenty of hate. The highlight was easily the Briscoes hanging Kenny King with a chain while yelling racial slurs. The finish was pretty shitty and brought the match down. Jay got a chair thrown at him and "collapsed" on Rhett for the pin. The whole thing looked incredibly hokey, no one bought it, and it didn't make either team look good. These teams have a truly great match in them, this wasn't it, but as another peice of the story, it was a lot of fun.
