It Was Once Said By a Man Who Couldn't Quit, Super Dragon Please Can I Have Another Hit

Super Dragon/Kevin Steen v. The Young Bucks PWG 12/10/11 -EPIC

This was the first of Super Dragon's return matches, as he had been out of wrestling for the previous three years. It was a Guerilla Warfare match, and actually reminded me of a horrifically violent Stagger Lee/Bill Watts v. Midnight Express from Mid-South. Super Dragon was the returning tubby promoter bad ass coming out of retirement to pummel the jerk pretty boy tag team. Opening minutes have Dragon and Steen just brutalizing the Bucks, open hand slaps to the face, recklessly thrown chairs to the sides their heads. It looks like a violent squash early, but the Bucks are able to frog splash Super Dragon through a table and take over by viciously beating on Steen with chairs on his bad knees. Bucks can be pretty nasty when they want to be, and they do a nice job as opportunists. Super Dragon took a pretty big beating in this section too. One of the major criticisms of Dragon is that he potatoes the guys he wrestles, and he sure does, but he takes as much as he dishes out here. Finish is probably overkill, with one Buck getting psycho drivered through a table, with the other Buck getting a double stomp package piledriver combo. Still this kind of match needs the heels to get decimated, and I guess a Psycho Driver through the table is a 2010s version of a Bill Watts right hand.

COMPLETE AND ACCURATE SUPER DRAGON
