| NBIceman 11/21/20 12:30:33 AM #7: | Taker vs Shinzaki I'll be up front that this match kinda had an uphill battle on its hands for me. I've never been an Undertaker fan - I don't even like his absolute best stuff as much as most people do - and when you throw in the kind of gimmicky supernatural stuff that the match was apparently based on that everyone knows I'm not a fan of and we're working on a bit of a shaky foundation. Luckily, said gimmicky stuff falls by the wayside fairly quickly, and even up to that point it is pretty entertaining to watch Shinzaki jump into orbit on chokeslams and bump around like a crazy man for all of Taker's strikes. And I can't deny, the top-rope headbutt that Taker avoided by sitting up was a legitimately awesome and clever spot. Past that, though, it'd be hard for me to sit here and say that this was a match that ever really grabbed me at any point. The work was certainly solid; nothing wrong with it by any means, and considering it was meant as an Undertaker showcase before anything, I can't claim it didn't accomplish its purpose. Perfectly good for what it was - it was entertaining enough and didn't overstay its welcome - but what it was wasn't necessarily for me. --- https://imgur.com/UYamul2 Spurs - Yankees - Eagles - Golden Knights ...
