PC: Thus far we’ve only done WWE shows. Well the universe (of this blog) is about to change forever. Tonight we look at Bryan Danielson AKA Daniel Bryan AKA The American Dragon AKA The Best Wrestler in the World in action.
Coach: This is a special edition coming from my bedroom. We have another, sleeping, roommate who also is not a fan of wrestling. Only she is far less tolerant.
PC: To the match! Kanemoto gets right up in Danielson’s face to start things off. They take it to the mat early with Danielson in control.
Coach: I don’t know any Japanese, but I’m pretty sure the announcer is already calling this the greatest match of all time.
PC: Danielson stomps the arm and Coach winces.
Coach: That looks like it could really hurt. And Daniel Bryan just gave Kanemoto a headbutt…to the butt.
PC: Kanemoto goes for the ankle lock but Danielson gets the ropes. This match has already gotten more time than all his NXT matches combined. And Kanemoto, who normally just kicks the crap out of guys, is giving Danielson quite a bit of offense.
Coach: I like the crushed velvet blue floor of the ring. Much classier than WWE. Almost looks comfortable to fall on.
PC: While Coach works on his interior design major, Danielson heels it up and works the crowd until Kanemoto hits a big spinning leg lariat off the ropes to take control. He goes for his signature spots including an ankle lock and some boot scrapes in the corner. I’m disappointed in the lack of badass kicks though.
Coach: I like Danielson’s weird uppercuts. And the fact that he’s not talking. Then again, I’m not getting to know him through stupid challenges.
PC: Danielson goes to the top but Kanemoto catches him with a nice dropkick. Danielson recovers and hits a top rope backdrop…for two! Danielson locks on a modified crossface that bends Kanemoto’s back in a crazy way.
Coach: Tap or snap!
PC: Danielson goes for a killer head drop but Kanemoto counters into an ankle lock. And Danielson counters into an ankle lock of his own. And Kanemoto counters into a crazy twisty double ankle lock. Danielson taps! And that’s it for this one.
Coach: He tapped or snapped!
Final Thoughts
Coach: I was afraid that Kanemoto would awaken the sleeping giant.
PC: Good match, lots of fun counters, some good strikes, not enough kicks. Not a bad way to kill twelve minute.
Coach: I hope we watch more Japanese stuff. I have lots of WWII-related jokes that I’m looking forward to using.
PC: I have a feeling you’ll run out of WWII jokes before I run out of Japanese wrestling.
