One of our very own Crappers, Jacob Marshall, in the orange and black, taking on Rick "The Kick" King at the WWA4 school. If you look closely in the audience, you might see a man named Spanky there.

Both of them are definitely green as grass, but I see potential in the both.
As a former trainer, here's my critiques:
- Use of ring space. They didn't take full advantage of the ring, staying confined to only certain areas for their 'spots.' This is common in people that aren't experienced, because you become used to doing your spots in only certain parts of the ring.
- Flow between spots. Specifically after spots were executed. You need to be snapping out of spots, they weren't.
- Telegraphing. For example, it just looked like they were feeding each other spots. This once again goes into flow.
- Marshall was a bit too lumbering if you know what I mean, and King seemed sort of lost after hitting a spot.
Other than that, I see potential in both.

Well, to be fair to both guys, especially King, the match was longer than it was edited, and King accidentally got dropped on his head with a botched hurracanrana, so if he looked a little lost, that's probably why.

Makes sense lol. But just based off of the clip show, that's what I gathered.
The WWA4 school is a really decent school, I will give you that.

Not bad for their first match. They will improve quickly, I imagine.

Just got back from a show, actually, that had an AWESOME main event that had the crowd going nuts, and I'm hoping, once I get the money up, to start training to be a manager for Jacob. |

I don't know that much about Rick King, but he seems to have a boatload of potential.

Okay in that second match, it's quite obvious King was the more skilled of the two. He showed a lot of actual sense in how he was taking moves, and delivering them.

I think, in terms of all the students, King's the best of the bunch. There's a ton of different guys, though. There's Kid Mafia, who's kind of a crappy worker, but the crowd loves him and he can bump, Bill The Butcher, a guy who's very Bruiser Brody-esque, Big Nasty, a big black guy who works an Umaga like style, and a bunch of others. |

The crowd just wasn't into it, it shows how easy a crowd can become quiet during a match because it isn't a spot fest.
Haha! lol, No, if this was their first match then fair play, they had a few decent spots. How long did it actually last for?
