soup23 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 A pretty splendid eight minute match. HHH is seemingly off his game not knowing his opponent and Jericho showed a lot of fire and energy. The cutoffs and paybacks were well executed here like HHH blowing a kiss but then eating a dropkick. The nearfalls were also timed wonderfully as the crowd bit on many of them. This is a testament to the 4/17 match as the anything can happen mentality is engrained in the viewer’s head. The finish comes with Steph distracting the ref and HHH using the belt shot off of a ref bump and the pedigree for the win. They did a good job teasing all of the spots and getting to them in a natural fashion. A really fun match that never gets talked about. ***1/2 (7.0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I always liked this matchup due to the way it mirrored the backstage politics. The action here was heavily choreographed in typical WWF fashion. The finish, in particular, felt like the most connect-the-dots wrestling I've seen in a while. But the crowd was hot and it was a solid quarter hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 This is a nail-biter of a match because of what happened on 4/17, and the crowd erupts for this. These two have good enough chemistry to not drop the ball, but Hunter almost loses them with his control segment. The WWF stylized theatrics at the end resuscitates the crowd, but didn't particularly pop me. In every single aspect, this is a lesser version of their 4/17 match. Good, but disappointing. *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
