Generally, I don't mind too much when a promotion cuts away
from an ongoing match to show some commercials. Sure, I'd rather they didn't do
it, but it doesn't bug me as much as it does other people - my suspension of
belief is strong enough to handle the fact that matches, miraculously, never
end while I'm being given the hard-sell on White
Collar. But, when we aren't allowed to see the beginning of a match, as
with tonight's Chris Jericho/Kofi Kingston bout, it's very difficult for me to
get sucked into the drama.
That said, these two wrestlers rebounded beautifully. The
dirt sheets had been abuzz this past week about Jericho and Kingston two
wrestling together on a foreign tour, and while I would have liked to see it go
on a bit longer, I was impressed by what I saw. I've always dug Kofi and just
felt that he needed a decent storyline and a gimmick adjustment to get
well-and-truly over, and his match-up with Jericho proved that his wrestling
skills, at least, are definitely on-point. My favorite moment was Kofi's
tremendous sell for the Walls of Jericho.
