    Cody put him over like the way Cody can, confident but absolutely destroyed in the end. He did it with Brodie and he’s done it again, both times are wonderful.

      Actually, I think this was subtly different from how he put over Brodie. With Brodie he was more protected by being tired from weeks of his TNT open challenge defences- but Brodie absolutely _bulldozed_ him, with Cody getting no offence at all after his opening flurry. This time Cody was fresh to meet Black, but while it was a much closer contest, it was obvious that Black was just _better than Cody_ here. I appreciate that it's not just a repeat of the Brodie squash, but they're both different matches, with the same end result- making his opponent look _terrifying._

      Come on guys. Wtf is everyone’s problem. The guy just said his kicks were clean and said he was in his own world. So THAT prompted the IWC trolls to come out from under their bridges? This is why people talk shit about wrestling fans, everyone constantly attacks each other because they think each other’s opinions are wrong, which is asinine because they are OPINIONS. Not one of us is any better or more smart than the other because of our opinions and our “vast knowledge” about the business.

    Man, that was just vicious. I don’t think I would call this a squash though. At least, it didn’t feel like a squash. It felt like a systematic dismantling of a skilled opponent through superior technique and it didn’t really feel like Black went over the top with any of his moves. No unnecessary brutalization of his opponent, but rather each move felt almost surgical in nature and had distinct purpose to it. And Cody sold those moves like they were doing real damage. He didn’t lose, he was beaten, and there’s a huge difference between those.

    Now, that's how you sell a kick and do a job. I didn't expect a finish like that although I suspected Malakai would win.

    Black Vs. Bryan Danielson would be good wrestling.
