Reason Through MCs Inflicting Slatalities

Ikuto Hidaka VS Damian Slater - Wrestle Rampage 11/23/2012

JJZ: Oh Fuck Yes. Man do I love Ikuto Hidaka, and after Slater's two matches I think I got a little crush on him! Hidaka is so smooth and makes everything look effortless. After watching your last match with Slater I knew this would be another match young wrestlers should study. All the moves flowed and the storytelling was wonderful. I miss watching Hidaka on the regular. I would get so excited when you'd bust out a Zero1 VHS and we'd watch that grainy ass tape. Slater is someone I'm 100 percent gonna watch more of. A wrestler's wrestler in my opinion

CJD: A wrestler's wrestler is a great way to describe what we've seen from Slater these 2 weeks. What a breath of fresh air especially coming back after a little break for us. Hidaka is well documented as one of our favorites, I similarly got so excited when I saw that's who you were playing forward to me! This match was such a good back and forth struggle, with Slater looking a little outmatched or star struck early, then really turning the heat up on Ikuto, who in turn went to some classic limb work trying to set up that Shaaaaaawwwwwnn Capture! So many silky smooth moments within the struggle and extremely creative ideas, an arm drag fake out I've never seen, a transition into a spinning heel kick I rewound multiple times. Finish was a pleasant surprise and pretty much everything about this match was so refreshing. Beautiful choice my friend!
