Yeah I watched the match and I really appreciated what they were going for, similar to you. Yet--because Yuta is sort of a dork and bleeding isn't all that special anymore, it lost some of the weight it needed. Also, I wish Mox was more cerebral and erratic like loose-cannon Pillman instead of trying to be a hardcore version of Bruiser Brody or Stan Hansen. Dude has charisma and presence but something about his performances and presentation doesn't feel like it clicks.
