The finish with the Figure Eight was clever to pop the crowd. Felt a bit like Kurt Angle grapevining the leg in the Ankle Lock. And again, it played off the actual story injury.

Strong thumbs up.

I was initially coming here to bitch about how nobody seemed to be giving love to this match, but it picked up near the end.

However, I'm actually surprised about the comments about Andrade's Figure Eight, but lack of comments about Buddy's Gorilla Clutch. They BOTH paid homage to thier significant others.

Look I don't make the rules, I'm just telling you how it works.
It has come to my attention from this particular collection of posts that Dave Meltzer - whether intentionally or unintentionally - has co-opted the old "Perfect 5/7" meme and is using it unironically.
