Low-Ki Advent Calendar Night 20: Ki vs. Scorpio

Low-Ki vs. 2 Cold Scorpio IWA-MS 8/11/06 - GREAT

PAS: Ki comes in with the X division title and Scorp comes in with the GHC Hardcore belt, so you know you aren't getting a clean finish. My only complaint about this match is that was worked like a draw, it never felt like it went for a finish run until the five minute overtime period. Despite that there was a lot to love here. There was some really gritty grappling in this match, lots of hard takedowns, body vices, legscissors, both guys seemed to be using the matwork to sap their opponents wind, not really going for submissions, just grinding to punish. As one might expect this was really stiff too, Ki through some big chops and kicks, but Scorpio was up to the task, with big thick elbow smashes and a front kick which bloodied up Ki's mouth. At one point Ki dimmed Scorpio's running lights with a kappo kick right to the bridge of the nose. The first time limit call felt sort of out of nowhere, although they did build to a big finish in the 5 more minutes. Including Scorpio hitting a gorgeous moonsault and Ki crushing him with a double stomp (complete with Scorpio's bug eyed Pigmeat Markham sell.) It felt like they left a lot on the table for a rematch which never happened, but this was undoubtably a heck of a contest.


COMPLETE AND ACCURATE LOW-KI
