EVOLVE 110: Darby Allin vs. Matt Riddle
I haven't watched a Matt Riddle match since the OTT one vs. Ospreay - he has picked up some annoying indy tendencies in the last 1.5 years or so & that was a match that highlighted that, but here he was 100% THE Matt Riddle that instantly became one of my favorites in 2016. He's on his way out of the independents, but before that he wanted to make sure that Darby Allin will never forget his name - he gave Darby a vicious beating, that only got more & more brutal as Darby kept on surviving. There's nobody in wrestling who takes a beating like Darby, so Matt Riddle in his most vicious form vs. him is an instant hit. ****
RevPro Summer Sizzler 2018: Tomohiro Ishii vs. WALTER
They went with the Ishii underdog formula & it worked very well, with WALTER on top for majority of the match. He chopped the shit out of Ishii & Ishii's selling was glorious as usual. Very good stuff. Badass post-match moment too with WALTER wanting a handshake, but Ishii refusing to give him one & asking for a chop instead, and even after receiving one, a very deadly one from WALTER, still refusing to shake his hand. ***1/2

WWE 205 Live 08/21/18: Buddy Murphy & Tony Nese vs. Gran Metalik & Lince Dorado
Very good stuff here. Really fun dynamic with Murphy & Nese dominating w/ their power advantage, doing some nasty work over the Lucha House Party, and then the Lucha lads, in particular Gran Metalik, busting out some really awesome, flippy comebacks. ***1/2
