    I don't know who's heard of/seen it but Dante Fox and Killshot had probably the craziest, best worked hardcore match you'll ever see on Lucha Underground last week. Three falls, all could have ended as a blow away match, and they absolutely killed each other. They both looked like they'd been tortured at the finish.

    Pretty much wrestled the entire second fall in (very real) glass for a hint of how bad it was. Warning, gross.

    One of about 10-15 spots that had me cringing. Trash wrestling has never been this incredible.

    did anyone see Will Ospreary vs Rey Mysterio in WCPW's world cup??? I think it was semi-finals

    one of the best American matches this year Rey can still go

    Gave it a 4 on my first watch, but it was pretty late and I was baked out of my mind. Worth another go?

    definitely I probably go 4 1/2

    you catch the final? Ospreary vs KUSHIDA I believe we talked about it. It was way better than that


    btw looking forward to a njpw caliber KUSHIDA/Ospreary rematch...I think Will has got to win this one KUSHIDA has beat him like six straight times

    Yep, I have the Kushida match at 4.25 with you I think. No doubt Ospreay is gonna take this one.

    Did you see Ricochet/Mysterio?

    I always want Okada to lose but he's so great that I'm never mad by the time the match is over

    fully expect Okada to take this one

    wonder if they can deliver again? their G1 match was probably the biggest surprise of the tournament
