[@waterthemelons]

I just wanna say this (I am in no way a good wrestler) but this was a very technical match. Reachin' for the leg on a tie-up isn't a shot. Picking your shots carefully is not stalling. The step on the hand isn't wrestling and people who say they do all the time are the same ones that lose to top-tier opponents. The takedown at the end was the right call because RBY still had control of him to the point where he couldn't get up. The last thing is RBY is a monster from the open but, ties up with ADS to keep the center because Austin will push forward in a good stance to look for the stalling call. This is a beautiful match by two top-tier wrestlers.
