Days 16 and 17 2022

 

I swear I’m going to better for the rest of this project. Anyway…

Singles Match

Daisuke Sekemoto vs. WALTER

WXW Toronto 2019

Welcome to the International House of Violence. We got an Austrian hoss fighting a Japanese boss in a German promotion holding a show in Canada. World peace through wrestling. 

This is the fifth singles match between these two and they’re coming up 2-2. Let’s just get the negatives out of the way first. The commentator class this match with all the enthusiasm of a soggy bowl of cereal and the crowd aren’t always super into it. Ok, no the good shit which is everything else. 

It starts fairly subdued with both men working each other over with holds but neither gets anywhere that way. It kicks into second gear and WALTER takes control. Once Sekemoto makes his comeback shit really takes off. It’s at that point that they start going blow for blow, throwing each other around, and flying off the top rope (mostly unsuccessfully but hey it looked cool. This second half definitely perks up the crowd but before you know it, the match is over…

This was really good. It has a more deliberate pace then your standard hoss fight which I think is why the crowd wasn’t amped for this but I enjoyed it. Both are really good but they keep things subdued here and still manage to hit it out of the park. Less of a war, more of a chess match but just as fun as expected. 

(Also, the commentators audio was ahead of the video at some points so there’s some kick outs that get called like a second earlier then it actually happens. Not a big deal, but it irked me ever so slightly.)

AAW Heritage Title Singles Match

Penta El Zero M (c) vs. Keith Lee

AAW Take No Prisoners 2017

With the crowd firmly split we start with dueling catchphrases until Keith decides to send Pentas soul into the balcony with a forearm. For the early part of this match Penta gets treated like…well a Cruiserweight in the ring with a hoss. The entire time hes getting beat up though he’s taunting and insulting Keith, it’s amazing. 

Jesse Ventura ain’t got time to bleed, and these two ain’t got time to do much of anything. But fuck it’s so good! The two are awesome even trying to fit as much into a maybe five minute match as they can. Penta unloads his signature playbook while Keith no sells and treats the champion as little more then a nuisance. It all goes to hell for the big na when he misses a Moonsault, and Penta follows up with two Panama Sunrises to seal the deal. 

A quick sprint but like I said these two make it worth every second. Their so entertaining even doing the bare minimum of their capabilities.
