Tito vs. Dash: Work For It


Tito Santos vs. Dash Decker: King of the Ring Final.

Previous match SPOILERS ahead: In the first round of King of the Ring, I was a little surprised that Tito Santos won.  Again, I underestimated him because he's cute, with big ears and a deceptively upbeat demeanor that belies his viciousness.  So I SHOULDN'T have been surprised that he made it all the way to the finals, and I SHOULDN'T have been surprised that he can even give Dash Decker a run for his money.  But like any true jobber, I never learn.

This is not a squash by any means.  Both these guys worked hard to get to this point, and they work hard now that they're here.  That said, Round 3 is my favorite, for being most squash-like.  For all that hard work, they get frustrated with each other, they get mean.  The winner forces the loser to say stuff.  That'll push my buttons every time.

So for a hard-fought battle with a climactic finishing scene that truly feels earned, this match gets the Inner Jobber Seal of Approval.
