    Raziel Ice like Paul Wall but I can't take mine out

    After I watched their match I couldn't help but enjoy their level of skill. For me, my initial dislike was their antics mostly I guess. Do you need a link to the g1 special @Sign Language ?

    That bothered/bothers me to a degree but Im trying to look at as just a tool they use excessivley. Their arsenal of moves is pretty impressive, especially how it seemed like they were just trying out different variations and spots on a whim

    They only do the Superkick party s--- with certain crowds; mostly in ROH, sometimes PWG. Only time it bothers me is when they do it to the same guy like five times in one sequence.

    Let us know what you think of their Day 2 match when you see it, felt they used it responsibly there. So much crazy s--- happens in these matches that the superkick just can't be a finisher on the indie scene.

    I implore you to rewatch some of their matches from this year. Cornette and others have promoted this propaganda against the Bucks that they devalue wrestling and make it look staged when it fact they are great athletes and storytellers and put a lot of work into psychology in their matches. And their synchronicity with eachother is astounding.

    Their match from night 2 was really nice. There was a couple things I hated but it made me reconsider them as wrestlers whereas before I'd skip their matches bc I hated them so much

    Jim Cornette reviews NJPW g1 special in USA night 1 by saying he watched the first three matches only and s----s on the show for multi-man tag matches when they're just filler for the f---ing brutal singles matches later on.

    Asks his moron co-host about the rest of the show who says Omega and Elgin was fantastic. Corny then states that it's too bad "Omega disqualified himself to any intelligent fan of the business from being a serious pro-wrestler when he wrested blow up dolls and a nine year old girl"

    Cornette lives in a bubble where classic Memphis is the only time wrestling was ever done right and somehow NJPW w/ it's unanimous top performers in the world to anyone with a brain and massive increase in interest and revenue deserve to be s--- on while he blatantly does not watch the vast majority of a product. Then he puts out a podcast about it and makes money from it.

    So that's that. If you respect this delusional man then I don't know what to tell ya
