WALTER vs Ilja Dragunov - 5 stars, most brutal match in WWE history (Dave Meltzer)

[BlackAchilles]

Just watched, brought back that 94-95 AJPW feeling

A couple spots where I feel like they coulda played up the size disparity a bit more but def a slobberknocker; restored some faith that this generation isn't totally given over to ADD and the moves-per-minute emotionally bankrupt crowd

Man one moment y’all shyt on Meltz and his opinion. But then the next y’all praise him rave on the shyt he says


Man this is too much

Did you watch the matches?

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

ughhh that rope spot coulda ended this match quick. same spot that deaded Enzo.

this was one of those matches where either could have accidentally been KO'd at any point. shyt was BRUTAL.

has Walter lost any matches? i would book this dude to terrorize the whole NXT UK then win the title and just lay that shyt down on the man he beat and just leave for regular NXT and do the same there before main roster... obv i know he doesnt want to come to AMerica but if he did i'd book him to body everybody pretty much. Need a prime Hogan to bring somebody like that down lol

 

[TOAD99]

This was a fukking war

Great match, pure violence, just chops, lariats and suplexes

I don’t see anything beating this match this year

Brutal on those Shibata/Ishii levels

that ending

 

[Tanahashi Coates]

I never understood why wrestlers don't physically force their opponents arm off the rope to stop the break. It's like in boxing when the opponent is trying to get out of the corner and you push them back. Enjoyed watching this match. Stiff as fukk

No matter what I do.... someone always seems to have a problem.

So I humbly and respectfully decline to answer my good sir.

Not surprised

 

[BrehWyatt]

I said this in the other thread.....but yo WTF is up with WALTER?


His disregard for his opponents well being is startling....i mean Brock works stiff, Sheamus works stiff...but WALTER takes it to Bruiser Brody levels

While he is in general a big breh, he ain't super muscular or whatever. Sometimes... you need to make a believer out of someone.

Dragunov pinned him the week before, I think. Whenever it was, he's the only man I've seen do it since WALTER came to NXT.

I wonder what Vince thinks about this

Probably would make Walter a comedy act because a big man...must do comedy at some point
