Rising Sun/Ultrataro Jr. vs. Excalibur/Super Dragon from XPW Redemption

Now before I post this review, I want to make one thing very clear. I will never, as long as I live, try to review an XPW DVD again. I tried reviewing the whole Redemption show and I just can't. I think those that have reviewed full XPW shows or Heros of Wrestling should get a Medal of Honor to put up with that crap. You are brave men and perhaps even women. On to the match review.

Backstory: A match.

Outcome: Super Dragon via pinfall after a Dragon Bomb on Rising Sun

Analysis: HOLY CRAP! This is actually decent. They don't go out of the way to tell a story but instead just go full bore for about a good seven/eight minutes. Both teams just beat the absolute hell out of each other and everything was pretty clean. Plus when you see people hitting moves clean in XPW, it's a huge bonus. Although there are some silly things about this match. Such as I think it was Rising Sun made a hot tag after maybe getting two moves planted on him. But like I said, this is XPW, the land where nothing makes sense. So basically, this match consists of more dives then a Jack Evans' match, more head drops then a puro match and maybe one or two botches. Would have been great if they would have gotten more then a seven minutes to show what they could do. Probably the best match on this disc and it's one of the shortest. That's XPW for you. **1/2
