The next iteration of my 2017 match of the year and only ***** match of the year. One thing is for certain here, no one is eating any pins. There couldn't be a better place to have a match like this than the grand stage of Arena Mexico. Two larger than life stars hitting each other over the head with assorted crowd props in front of a red hot crowd of 10k+ fans is really some of the purest pro wrestling that there is.
Almost nothing in wrestling gets over the sheer idea of hatred for each other like these Rush and Park matches do. There's no respect, no convoluted sequences or elaborate setups. Just two burly wrestlers hitting one another over the head with whatever they can possibly find. Sadly this match didn't have any prop spot as great as Rush dumping a bucket of cum over Park's head like their latest IWRG tag match but we were treated to park putting Rush's head right through a framed portrait.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out how this one would end. Park finally got his revenge on Rush after weeks of getting jumped by him and his rowdy dads by beating him down until the he needs to be stretchered out of the arena.
Someone tweeted out something along the lines of "fuck finishes are an art form and Rush and Park advance it every week" and that's a good summation of how I feel about these matches. So much wrestling now feels like a complete rip off after a fuck finish because there wasn't actually much interesting about the matches and they needed a hot finish to save the match. That does not happen in any of these Rush vs Park matches. For two guys that really don't even do many actual moves they manage to fill 20+ minutes without any real lulls and the fuck finishes don't leave you feel robbed. Just like last years match I don't feel like getting a clean pin to end the match would actually have made me enjoy it anymore.
These two had another classic and this isn't just feud of the year at this point. If the mask vs mask at Anniversario actually happens this might be feud of the decade.
****3/4
