I really like how when Kane paired up with the Undertaker in 2001 ish and when he returned in 02 he actually interacted with the audience. When he first started, Glenn's character that he played didn't even care he was in front of the audience, then as he got out of his shell and teamed up with his brother, his character gained confidence and he actually acknowledged the crowd. So cute, and great acting.💕

Vault Hunters: Ep. 1

My spreadsheet of wrestling information is looking too sparse. I need more matches from random indies in the 2000s. Good thing that the WWE Vault YouTube channel is posting random bangers then, eh? Today (today being September 9th, 2024), they released an old Adam Pearce match from UPW. Against Diamond Dallas Page too! Thought I'd give it a check and see what it was about. I've never actually watched an Adam Pearce match, which is highkey a crime considering his pedigree in ROH and NWA. His backstory is very interesting, actually. I might make a blog post about his series against Colt Cabana in NWA.

Adam Pearce is working heel here - that checks out, considering his opponent is a wrestling icon such as DDP. Pearce sells to us that he's the bad guy here by using his mic. The crowd wants a match - Pearce doesn't give us the fight we look for. He's toying with the crowd almost. The tech in the match is simple but effective, and it makes us want to root for DDP as well. Showing how, as the veteran, he's always just one step ahead of the upstart Pearce. Going for the Diamond Cutter early doesn't totally work for him, and we head back to more character-based moments, and a comedy spot with the crowd cheering for DDP and even the Ref over Pearce. We then get a classic switch into Pearce's upper hand - Manager interference and a low blow. This match feel super reliant on Pearce having interference on his side. I don't really recall any actual moves that Pearce hits except for a Snake Eyes on the turnbuckle and a lariat later in the match. His heat is classic WWE-style heat. Slow, drags the pace down, and mostly circles around a sleeper hold with tape. The finisher comes quite quickly after this. After the heat dissolves, Pearce accidentally knocks his manager off the ropes and then takes a Diamond Cutter for a finish. The match didn't particularly take a step up after the heat, and I totally expected the match to keep on going after that Diamond Cutter. Overall, I think that this match was a relatively by the numbers affair, but they did do the basics pretty well. 6/10.
