Eddv 09/28/20 2:12:13 PM #19:	Doi vs Danielson So my first takeaway is that I am pretty annoyed with WWE for this one. This is my first exposure to this era of Danielson - I have a lot of his early RoH when he looks like a naked mole rat and gangly like a short geekier ZSJ. But this Danielson is the finished product and so fast so good. Its so baffling that he would come to WWE and work this same style in what was essentially slow motion compared to the work he did here. As a showcase for his work this match was a solid snapshot into a moment in time. The early section of this one was a bore. I blame Doi and in general the weird match dynamic. Brian is embraced as the babyface but is working primarily as the heel? The match structure did not leave me wanting anything in particular to happen. Hes in control leaving you to hope for...what out of Doi exactly? Even when Doi does make his comeback it's not really like flashy or good and so the whole dynamic of the match is weird and really hurt my ability to get into the match. And thanks to WWEs presentation of Pete Dunne joint manipulation just bothers me so the whole thing was not landing with me. Toss in that this match doesn't have much story because it is explicitly a showcase and I'll be frank, this one didnt really do too much for me in the early sections and I think that kept me from getting as into the ending sequence as Bidoof. It built to a good fever pitch and eventually does get pretty good. The strike exchanges and Dois offense during this section are really very solid and I did manage to get into it by the end. In the end I give this a 3.5. It was well worked but just wasn't for me. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/AWY4xHy <cite>Eddv posted [p:945187655] in Board 8 Ma...
