Speed Muscle could have injured the Gun's hand that they point with.

The Guns could have taken out Speed Muscle's knees.

I think you might be looking for a little bit much in a 7 minute match.

You don't have to wrestle 25 minutes to be able to tell a good story. If they managed to do 7 minutes worthy of spots, then they could have done 7 minutes of story telling.

You mean the same story in every match? Look, for some guys it works, and there is a time and a place for it, but if every wrestler did the whole "wear down" shit, you wouldn't have a break.

I've been saying this for a while, and people tend to disagree with me, but I don't care: There is a rhyme and a reason behind "spotfest" matches. This was designed to get people's interests up. The actual characters wrestling, specifically Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino, were looking more to wow than to win. Get some fan support, before the matches start to count, and show off why they are different and have something obscure to offer that, say, Robert Roode can't.

The style both teams went with was all-in bluffing with their speed and agility. The match was also fairly short as a consequence. They weren't holding anything back, and were just unloading their best moves to see who ran out of gas first. In this case, it was Speed Muscle (storyline-wise), so maybe that can become Doi & Yoshino's motivation for getting more serious? Maybe we will see more ground work from them next time, as a result? Maybe they will vow to better themselves for the World X Cup now?

There are so many stories you can tell. Sometimes guys brawl because they want a fight, sometimes they isolate a guy so he can't make the tag, sometimes they use the environment to their advantage, and others they just want to put on a whirlwind of a show to get noticed, get sponsored and get supported. Especially when you're in there against another team you can "race" against.
