[@NovaCVO]

Man, this was fantastic. One of my favorite wrestling video essays and video essays period this year.
Excellent job.

[@andos638]

That is very kind of you. I appreciate it. Thank you so much for the gift of this match.

[@JosephMontecilloYT]

Holy shit, dude, this is some absolutely excellent work. I've not seen this match yet but it's going to be top of the list after this wonderful breakdown.

[@andos638]

Thank You for the kind words. I appreciate it.

[@SSVCloud]

I was literally thinking of "Meth head Battlearts" as you said the sentence. Great stuff lmao.

[@togo6545]

Pretty sure that term comes from Phil Schneider of Death Valley Driver and Segunda Caida. At Segunda Caida they have an entire series of reviews of Ian Rotten matwork matches called Complete and Accurate Meth Lab BattlArts. Anyway fun video and amazing match!

[@cassiopiea8438]

What a superb video essay, you really chewed as much analysis from this match as possible.
Amazing job, have a great Christmas my friend.

[@andos638]

Thank you! ❤️

Saludos mi buen señor y feliz navidad

4:30 respect and Ian Rotten never go together. He didn't pioneer shit besides blading directly in front of the audience and paying wrestlers in drugs(if he pays at all).

[@ericnstuff]

[@moriordan85]
