Loss Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 This is an awesomely preposterous setup, as they appear to be in some TV studio with a completely pink background and the ring is completely surrounded by photographers. Good match, but a little flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 That background was one of the more distracting you will see. Found match to be a bit boring and lifeless with no audible crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 This may or may not be the same studio where that W*ING/Memphis crossover tag match from an earlier Yearbook took place. Or it may or may not be the AWA's Pink Room. Or it may be both. This was okay, but suffered in the face of raised expectations after their asskicking first match. There's some really crisp offense here but the opening matwork is rather meandering, and I don't get the necessity of the ref bump ending at all. Doesn't help that this is an Earl Hebner-type selljob where he's knocked into a coma and has to do absurdly slow "dramatic" three counts. That was one murderous German suplex that Delfin won with, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Weird studio and not as good as the July match but still a lot to like here for me as this had a long but really solid base to start things off and then escalated into a really fun ending sequence. I remain impressed at the restraint shown by the youngsters in these matches and the fact that almost everything is hit really smoothly. M-Pro continues to be one of my favorite things to watch throughout the year. ***1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 From the minute that they handcuffed Delphin's manager to the top turnbuckle, I figured he'd end up as part of the finish, and he did. My problem wasn't that there was a ref bump, it was that the ref laid there out cold for far too long to be believable. Weren't there any other referees in the building who could have come down and taken over? Of course, that would have meant that Delphin's stablemate wouldn't have been able to interfere and powerbomb Sasuke, which is what really led to the pin. Delphin's suplex looked devastating, but it was just window dressing. Before all the shenanigans, this was quite a good bout. These two can definitely go, and though the setting was a bit sterile they managed to overcome it and put on a show. Nothing overly flashy, but satisfying nonetheless. If this is an example of what Michinoku Pro can be, I'm definitely on board for more. It seems almost like this bout was staged as part of a talk show or other non-wrestling TV segment, knid of like the match that took place in the Donahue studio during his show on the AWA. If that's the case, they may have been better served taping the match at an arena and showing the tape instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
