The Stage of Trickings: Bolshoi Kid vs. Infernal KAORU (AJW) |
|
|
This match really didn't interest me. It was a mess because neither of these two can carry a match. It started out with some lame comedy that resulted in The Damn Clown crying because KAORU stole her flower and wouldn't give it back. Don't you just hate seeing a grown clown cry? It was almost as lame as the crotch chop. Bolshoi attacked KAORU's bad knee, which was the only story of the match. I'm guessing KAORU really hurt her knee when she pretty much landed on her feet doing her plancha due to Bolshoi's inability to catch her. The reason I think KAORU was probably really hurt is that I don't have any faith in her continually remembering to sell an injury or even remembering more than once or twice for that matter. The match was mainly the typical clueless KAORU spotfest, except it was worse than usual because Bolshoi instilled a bit of goofiness that only seems funny in comparison to Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler movies. KAORU eventually pinned Bolshoi after two consecutive moonsaults. As you'd expect, the match had some nice flying. However, it wasn't as spot intensive as most of KAORU's stuff. That would be fine with me in most cases, but these two really don't have anything else to offer. Miko: This match started in full comedy mode. I didn't mind Bolshoi checking the ref for weapons, that was kind of amusing. Unfortunately, the comedy, especially Bolshoi's, got worse and more annoying from there. To be honest, I expected more from this match. Maybe I'm just used to watching KAORU and Bolshoi now, but I expected a faster-paced match. Bolshoi in particular seemed slow to me. I expect someone so small to be really fast, but she never showed it in this match. Michael: Pretty good match though a little discombobulated in spots. Devil actually sold and there were some innovative spots thrown in as well. Candy's offense looked really weak at times, but not often enough to really hurt the match. Jerome: I admit that Bolshoi's pre-match antics made me smile. Seeing the two goofs fighting for the flower was so campy and so stupid that it was funny. Since it was the "highlight" of the match, you better hope you enjoy it. They worked a kind of fifth-rate lucha with sloppy execution and rest holds that was okay if you don't mind slow-motion. KAORU was either pretty bad back then or just totally mailed it in. There's not much to say about the match itself, except that KAORU hurt her left knee after a dive from the tope rope that I refuse to call a topé. Of course, it didn't stop her from ending the match with two consecutive moonsaults. A nothing match really. Special thanks to: Jerome Denis, Michael Smith, & Miko Kubota -
