Matt Striker: in ring ability

[lildude8218]

He had a great match with Punk last year that people seem to have forgotten about. He's a fantastic seller. There's a match I saw of his from MLW, he was wrestling as Matt Martel there. It was him and 2 other guys against the Samoan Island Tribe. They put Striker ontop of a table that was in the crowd. Ekmo Fatu (aka Umaga) went up to the top, jumped off the top, and splashed Striker through the table in the crowd. Striker looked like he was having a seizure and then was DEAD for the rest of the match.

The only match of his I can remember was one with Punk from a while back, as lildude mentioned. It was pretty good. He did this one awesome spot where he was caught in a wristlock, so he grabbed the ropes with his free hand and did a backflip to get out of the hold. Looked tremendous.

I think he's definately above average, because the vast majority of guys out there really can't wrestle for beans or be interesting for the life of them. Take any indy show, and you're lucky to see one guy that you'll remember five minutes after the final bell. Striker has an entertaining way of speaking, with the heavy emphesis on enunciation and grammar, and he's good enough for me in the ring.

So a six or seven.

I've haven't seen much, but I've enjoyed what I have.

I especially love the way he sells.

That said, I didn't vote because I don't feel I have the proper information to do so.

I've always been a little puzzled as to why Striker is seen as a technical wrestler. All his actions in the ring seem so...rehearsed. His mat wrestling has always been bland to me, and I can't recall a single hold that he uses. Does the guy even have a finishing maneuver?

Yeah, the "Golden Rule", which is kind of like an Overdrive, but different.

Also, he uses a Whip Lash, too, I think.
