All Else Pales

Will Ospreay vs Robbie Eagles, PWA Call to Arms 2017 (Pro Wrestling Australia)

Thank you to Jim in Tennessee for pointing me to this August 4th match in Sydney, a match some are calling a turning point in the history of professional wrestling. Looking at this 30-minute championship fight, I can believe that this will be the model of pro wrestling in the future - fast, brutal, combining high-flying  wow spots with down-and-dirty brawling in and out of the ring. The GIFs above barely scratch the surface of this brawl, which proceeds at a dizzying pace, rich in colorful and ingenious details. Fusing the best of British and Japanese styles, Eagles and Ospreay present a high-velocity take on wrestling that may force the rest of the wrestling world to take notice.
