CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2005 Nice Hurricanrana. Other than that, other than a few funny/fun spots, that was weak in comparison to their other matches. To be fair though, it was quite short. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2005 Akio "catching" London with the knee to the groin when London came off the top came off as awkward and sloppy/botched. No dropsault. No 450. No dancing "cave man" dance. And Akio got basically no offense besides that kick that sent London to the outside. They had some really good Velocity bouts before, but this match had no psychology, no build, NO HEAT, and was bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haws bah gawd 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2005 HOLY MOTHER OF GOD that suplex on the steps was fucking sick by WWE bump standards. I too would like to think WWE is enhancing the Cruiserweight division with the new signings, but we all know theyre just signing "pin balls" for the Big Show.

Silence 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2005 Now, I think Paul London is very good in the ring, as do many others, but is it just me or have his matches ALWAYS been "iffy"? In TNA and WWE, anyway. I thought most of his ROH work was better, and only had a few disappointing matches here and there, but not as much as in TNA and WWE. Very odd, but I guess not having more quality matches in WWE is obvious due to the "style". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carnival 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2005 I don't understand why people don't like the Maximos. I have only seen a handful of their matches, but i always thought they were ok. They gotta be better than the bashams or the shane twins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well put. I mean if you want to watch spots being hit... there fine. I like a Maximo match or something int he middle of a great wrestling show just to give me something besides the great matches. I mean a match that will just be fun, and you can be like HE FUCKED UP.. kinda thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2005 Poor Paul London, he had to sell his fur coat when MNM came around. As for the match, that was probably the worst of the akio/london series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
