Except for Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa, have there ever been two wrestlers in recent memory that have lived up to the old adage, good friends, better enemies? Kevin Steen (or Kevin Owens as he is popularly known now in WWE) and El Generico (supposedly linked to Sami Zayn but I cant be certain of that) were a fabulous tag team in Ring of Honor until they imploded and kickstarted a long rivalry that has continue into WWE NXT and the WWE main event roster.
What makes this match billiant is how these two master storytellers weave in so many smaller elements organically into the fast paced action. Watch how Steen takes umbrage at the fans for helping Generico get back to his feet and how Steen avoids the 10 count by falling to his feet while rolling off the stage and admire the masters at their best. Brutality. Brainbusters. Brilliance.
