Samoa Joe vs. Low Ki (Fight Without Honor), from Ring of Honor Glory By Honor

I suppose there's something novel about a hardcore match in which not a single weapon is used (hey, it had to happen eventually, right?), but I didn't find too much else that's novel about this encounter. The brutality is the point, but the conveyed violence wasn't brutal enough to wow me, leaving this match paddling upstream. I dig the finish, it gets across how different ROH was back in the day and enforces the winner's fighting prowess, but this was otherwise a series of moves without much emotion behind it. Maybe these two should have tried to tell a story.
