>>12717103At least in context, it happened late in the match where people are more willing to believe an out of nowhere finish could come, and it was well built up to enough that the sequence made the clap crowd pop from the tension.
I think Ospreay and ZSJ are two of the better guys out there right now, but I do agree that the degree of cooperation is unfortunate, even if in this instance I'm into the match enough to look past it/not nitpick. I wish industry wide there was more of an effort to restore a genuine sense of real combat rather than cooperation. Much as I like a lot of modern guys, there is a real, palpable difference between the tone and nature of their physicality and that of Inoki, Robinson, Bret, Tsuruta, Bockwinkel, etc.
