2017 MOTY Countdown: #20 Iron Kid vs. Demus

Youth. That perfect combination of hope, belief and cockiness. Any young person that does not look at the ways of their elders and think "I can do that better" should not be trusted, even when their belief in their own infallibility ends up getting them tossed 4 rows deep into a crowd of spectators and then stabbed in the head by a fork wielded by a sadistic, overly-bearded, violence-loving little man. Experience is the ultimate teacher. Clocking in at about 10 minutes, this match has Iron Kid playing a great underdog tecnico as he is mercilessly beaten and bullied by Demus, who is just reveling in the violence. After opening with one of the wildest spots I have ever seen in a wrestling match, a few perfectly timed comeback spots for Iron Kid keeps this moving at a good pace. Aside from the wildness of this match, another great aspect is how effortlessly Demus and Iron Kid convey their roles. Are you a kid, or do you support the young of the world who work hard to master their craft and innovate? Iron Kid may be just the plucky tecnico you were looking for. Alternatively, are you a embittered and violence loving nightmare creature whose only enjoyment in life is when your cynical underhandedness allows you to spread your own pain and misery to others? Then you probably are Demus, and you should really look in to getting help. But, before you do that, take 10 minutes and watch this match.
