Steve Wright, father of Das Wunderkind, is a swanky dad on
the mat, with his sprightly matwork and constant fluidity. Some of the
exchanges he had with Tiger Mask impressed in the same way Ospreay/Ricochet
impresses kids with low self-esteem. What he lacks in charisma, Steve makes up
for in style. I love his shoot shoulderblocks and his dropkick, and while the submissions were meaningless, they were cool to watch as he wrenches on brutal stuff like his abdominal stretch and hanging
stretch muffler. At one point, they’re both stalemate in a leglock and after shaking
hands, the ref helps untangle them. The selling was meh for most of the match
but I thought Tiger kept up for the most part, his strikes sounded great and he had a rad side suplex counter off the ropes that looked seamless. A slick little junior
exhibition and a good introduction to the busy world of Steve Wright.
