Not really, there was zero structure or story to the match. The first five minutes were just all over the place. They were doing lame comedy like the hypnosis spot which was totally out-of-context when trying to do a serious match (as if a bunch of guys dressed as ants weren't out of place enough...). The whole thing with Amasis's faked injury was totally random and pointless. The execution was poor and a lot of it was sloppy/backyardy, they were doing a whole bunch of MOVEZ for the sake of it and practically no build throughout the match. I don't see how it wasn't a spotfest considering it was pretty much 20 minutes of guys running around hitting cool-looking spots and moves at lightning pace with no real point to half of them. I could easlily watch any episode of Dragon Gate and find the exact same sort of match, with better execution, better characters and less nearfall overkill, and I would still think the match is crappy.

I do dislike the Ants. Because of matches like this. I mean, watch Portal vs QuackSaw from Behind The 8 Ball(?), way better tag match with way better storytelling, pacing , structure and selling and I wouldn't call that a MOTYC.

For the record, I think spotfests can be good. The fourway from KOT was a fun spotfest, and they weren't dressing it up as some epic battle. The MITB was a spotfest but was structured way better too.

Whilest ranting/on the topic, I havent gotten round to watching the Hair vs Masks match. Has anyone besides Bon watched it yet? Thoughts?


EDIT - Wow, that rant was longer than I thought.
