All three Gargano v Ciampa matches are very good and something different each time.

Gargano really perfected the "Why am I so violent" face.

I haven't watched them but I've heard a lot of good things about the Cole/Gargano series.

Seems like this Gargano guy is a good wrestler.

Gargano is often my favourite wrestler's opponent. His trilogys with Andrade and Ciampa are some of my favourite matches ever. His match with Aleister Black was amazing, I used it as an example to show my younger brother (who hadn't seen a wrestling match since Goldberg/Hogan) how much wrestling had changed.

Alvarez wasn't totally off by calling him the American Okada.

I don't agree but it's hardly a stupid opinion. That match did loving own.

"Don't trust anyone who doesn't think this one match is the best match of the last decade" is dumb hyperbole.

MJeff posted:

The more I think about it I'm actually really fascinated by this. If you compiled a list of the best WWE matches of the decade, who would show up the most? You'd think it'd be Gargano or Bryan, but Cena might actually get in there.

Because I'm bored as hell, have a selection of the top rated matches on Cagematch from 2010 to 2019. Everything over 9 because there's too drat many over 8.5 and while I'm bored I'm not that bored.

All of Okada's matches are great, meanwhile Gargano's last great match was against Almas. Every match in the feud with Ciampa ended in a way that made him look like a dumbass and a geek. By the third match in the series it became impossible for me to see the dude as a credible challenger to anyone higher on the card than a 205 Live JTTS.

His Takeover matches with Aleister Black and Ricochet ruled. Dark Johnny was great and it sucks that we didn't get a satisying resolution to that character.

The first Ciampa/Gargano match was great and roughly equal to the Almas match imo. The matches after that all had boneheaded finishes and are what cooled me off on NXT personally (along with Aleister's reign being sent out to die). But I mean in the sense that your favorite wrestler's best match will usually be with that guy. He's a chameleon. He wrestles a great match in the other guy's style, y'know? For a while there, Gargano had an absolutely insane streak of home runs basically every time he stopped in the ring, no matter who he was up against, whether it was a tag or a single, didn't matter.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
All three of the Gargano-Ciampa matches stunk and I voted that worst feud of 2018. Overly hammy nonsense that showed the worst of Gargano. The Cole matches also all weren’t good: the last one especially was self-indulgent nonsense. Gargano is possibly the most overrated wrestler around and as cold as I have been on Okada’s current reign that comparison is just an insult.

The Gargano/Ciampa feud was always Triple H/Michaels with PWG workrate so I understand why people enjoyed it, but I could never really get into it. There was always so much meta, wink-wink heel turn teasing when they were both faces that I could never actually care enough to get invested when the turn finally came. Then the rest of the feud happened.
