Wednesday Night Bootleg- Kaval v. McIntyre

Kaval v. Drew McIntyre-Koln Germany 11/12/10





(First video has better camera angle, but cuts off. Second video has whole match, you can start the second at about 10:20 which is the point the first video ends)

Low-Ki is a guy I saw live a bunch in the early part of the 2000's where he was one of the most exciting wrestlers I had ever seen. His WWE run was pretty (and unsurprisingly) disappointing, but this is a cool opportunity to see him work a long match against a good opponent. McIntyre is very good in this match, stooging early to establish Kaval's kicks and chops, delivering some simple and vicious offense when he was in control and working a pretty exciting nearfall section. Ki got a chance to throw some stiff kicks and chops and take a couple of big bumps. This was good stuff, but he wasn't really able to translate what made him so special to a bigger arena. Kind of like watching Sabu on Nitro, nice dive and all, but it wasn't Sabu in a high school gym.
