I can’t remember ever biting on a near fall as hard as I did in this match. Between a blown spot (the missed “pounce”) for what I assume was supposed to be the near fall, then followed by the power bomb, the crowd absolutely deflated when it looked like SIOG was going to retain, and I was right there with them. A little luck that the miscue actually worked in their favor, but still, very well executed.
