Posted January 27, 201312 yr comment_5531015 Really Enjoyable battle of the Titans match. Just giant freaks hitting each other hard. Loved Andre slamming Abby with the giant board and Andre's headbutts. I am a huge fan of both of these guys so will probably have this higher then most people, but this is the kind of thing folks would be excited to watch.
January 27, 201312 yr comment_5531025 This will not be for everyone, but I thought this was a really fun match. Andre enters by stepping over the barricade and they go right to it. Andre's offense is some simple but looks every bit as massive as he is and Abby bumps for him more than he does for most. Abby's offense is Abby's offense. I like the thrusts and headbutts, but we don't get any close up of the stabbings which hurts the effect a little. Still Andre is really great selling the impact of the blows. Not surprisingly this ends with Andre picking up some massive fixture on the ground and tipping into onto Abby before they brawl to the back. Short match, but the sort of thing that you want out of two giant freaks. Talked to Devon about this tonight and this feels like the sort of match I would probably use a personal pick on for novelty reasons if nothing else. If I was tagging it, I'd label it low end, but it would not look out of place on the set and it's better than some of the AWA matches I rubber stamped

Nothing pretty just a total slugfest as Andre was just as vicious as Abby here on the strikes. Abby sells for Andre here which he doesn't do for everyone that's for sure and this is a total clash of the titans type freakshow that is just awesome. This bloodbath goes to the field and Andre picks up a fucking wooden deck and throws it on Abby as they brawl to the dugouts for a double countout. What a war this was and a definite nomination.
