PK: IMO your best job! This was great and what I loved the most was how you synced everything. I found interesting you chose a match I think no one else would edit and you made look like a goddamn classic. Your editing is so crisp and professional. The color grading was pretty nice and film damage was pretty good just I didn't get the purpose behind the use of it but I guess I shouldn't understand. Song choice seemed to fit pretty well with the story of the match and the 2 wrestlers since I was a lot of times both just doing staredowns and looking at each other from the back with the "I see you" part. Song is pretty fucking catchy btw. Overall this was super great and I loved every bit of it.

Argi: This was great too, although I didn't enjoy the choice of match that much 'cause sadly camera angles are really annoying to edit and I know it's out of your control to avoid them just sometimes it got rough with the cuts. I loved the unsaturated CC's so much especially that B&W one, it was so good. Your flashes were so pretty I am damn jealous at how good they look! Sync was of course on point as it always is, and I loved the outcome of this. Your little build up for the match was also pretty neat as it was different from all other highlight guys who just put already edited promos. Overall an awesome piece of work and always fucking great to watch your highlights here and there even if they are more rare nowadays.

PK: You have a really chill style for highlights and I honestly love it, It's unique compared to a highlight standard. What's also unique is your match choice, never would I expect anyone to edit this match, but you made it look very good! I really liked the presentation, film damage was very fitting with your color grading choice and all of that was very fitting with music choice. Something that I had an issue with when it came to your older works is that you would often overedit them or use effects that didn't fit but I am glad that this wasn't the case, this was all very fitting and it worked with the edit. Emotion of the match was presented super well and entire edit was just so easy to follow, you did a terrific job with pacing which just tied everything together perfectly. Honestly this is probably my favorite highlight by you and it's one super enjoyable edit!

Argi: First of all let's cancel WWE Editor. I absolutely loved how you handled the introduction, it gave me those vibes of retro movies where they would watch sports on old TVs or listen about them on radio and this was so well done! Honestly I wasn't too big on color grading because arena is super dark and their attires are black, so with this dark grading blacks were completely crushed and it just felt way too dark which I didn't find fitting with the song. Light leaks overlay was an interesting choice for transitions and I don't remember if I really have seen anyone doing it like this, honestly it was super creative and I liked it, very fresh compared to such a huge use of flashes. Your technical editing as usual is absolutely fantastic, you are IMO easily one of the best highlighters today and you just know how to edit highlights without any problem. I found your use of photos in a build up very charming, usually I would find that overboard and something that takes me out of the immersion but here it was pretty damn good and it felt fitting with the edit so good job with that! Really fun edit that I am sure will be very praised once it goes public!

PK : I love your style, your effects are very nice and the filters are so well used I loved it. I really enjoyed the "flashbacks" moments (I don't know if it's the right word) at 3:47 for example. And I believe you also used all of their matches for this one so it's really good. The different moments from the matches are well told and I liked it very much you are very talented.

Argi : Great editing showcasing this great match. I enjoyed the intro and loved how you "presented" the match throughout your edit and I also loved the effect you used at 3:19 I felt like it was really a good idea and fitting very well for this match and the story between the two. However I think that you could have removed a few parts/moves of the match that I felt weren't very necessary and would have make your video even better going straight to the best parts of the match

PK: I saw only 2 videos from you and I liked this one way more than the other. Your edit is almost perfectly synced and I liked how you used the effects. The callbacks fitted well in the video, I liked them. I really appreciated the song choice I think he was perfect for the flow of this match.

Argi: I know you are a new editor but using my name to get votes won't help you I am sorry. Even if you are a fresh editor I really liked the promo except for the Coup de grâce I would have used the ending of it from another angle maybe. I really like the effects you used even if they brought some "bad frames" <-- (inside joke). I really like you creativity with the photos never saw something like this.

PK:i found interesting The Match you choose
Your edit was very good i love how everything was in Sync,i love the little colors pop with the beat.
Argi: Pretty good Highlights MV/video i love how everything was well done I liked the black flashing parts was in sync with the rhythm of the drums i think.
In my opinion Both of you did an amazing job

PK: As many here have already stated, your style of editing, especially highlights, is really unique and in my opinion this community needs it. Nobody does this the way you do it and it makes your videos stand out. This highlight, like many others, was simple, yet really good. The match choice can seem odd, but you did a great job in presenting it and showcasing the action and the story. Effects were timed and chosen well, and added to the atmosphere of the highlight. Overall a great job.

Argi: WWE Editor made you do this? Didn't that guy die in that plane cra...nevermind. This was business as usual for you, everything I have come to expect from you and maybe even more than that. I especially liked the usage of photos in the buildup, it kinda added a new element to the video. Highlight was a bit longer than usual but for me it flew by without ever feeling too long. Match choice was really good in my opinion, I really loved the match and I loved seeing it being highlighted by you. Great job as usual babe, your time is up.

PK: Like everyone already said, your style is different from others because it’s much more soft and I really like it.
You edited a really underrated match with a fitting vibe to it with the song and everything.
Great video dude.

Argi: that was excellent man, the CC and the sync were great as well as the song.
I really appreciate you as an editor overall for making me care and appreciate matches and wrestlers from WWE more in your videos, because it shows how good of an editor are you for making a guy who doesn’t even care anymore about WWE, to get invested in your edits.
Keep the great work man!

PK - I feel like I praise your work too much man. And I'm about to do the same thing with this video cause this is probably my favorite video of the event, well it's up there with both vids from the tag match. I think everyones said it best when they say you have a unique style compared to other highlight videos. The way I like to think of it is as if everyones creating big blockbuster type highlights while you're here creating indie/artsy type of highlights. You're just doing your own type of way of creating recaps that seem fun and special. This really reminds of why I first loved the earlier work you used to do.
Your song choices are always interesting, and I dont mean that in a bad way, but they're songs that one wouldn't even dare use for highlight. This of course is one of those type of songs as it sounds very slow and cheerful. It goes well with the vibe of this match tho since both wrestlers are very well liked by the audience.
This honestly might be the best your best edit in terms of the technical aspects of editing. As I kind of felt like some of your past videos had some minor issues with camera cuts. This video was beautifully made from start to finish. I honestly had no issue with it whatsoever. From the purple-ish CC,, the black and white sequences during the rapid beat parts of the song, to the beautiful overlays and multicolored ray transitions all of it looked so aesthetically appealing.
Random, but this reminds me of the year 2016 for some reason lol. Could be cause that's around the time that I was binge watching your videos a lot or cause of the happy/upbeat pinkish look this has that reminds me a lot of the album from the 1975 that came out that year hahaha.
Fantastic work on picking the right clips. I always said Progress had some of the best camera work in wrestling due to the documentary looking way they film their shows. So you get a lot of zoom ins and pans that make it really fun to work with even though British wres is shitty now. So, great job on working with this footage and of course great match to link with this song.
One of my favorite highlights of the year.

Argi - Oh man Argi, oh man how much do I love everything you make. And the song choice is always fire. Theres no doubt that you have the best music selection in the editing community.
Everything is done absolutely right and theres no flaws. Love the pace to this. And although this video is shorter, I find the pace to be similar to the pace in your Walter vs Tyler Bate highlight video. Where it starts off really slow, and then gets very fast and suspenseful towards the last 2 minutes.
I'm not to familiar with this storyline, but I do appreciate some of the flashbacks like the section with the photos, as it shows why this match is important. And the execution of that section was perfect. Using that photo effect can be random, but you made it look great.
Letting a lot of these clips breathe longer while editing with them was impressive. Goes to show that even during the fast paced parts of the song, one doesn't have to cut clips to a shorter length to match the pace. With the black flashes and cutting at the right moments, it's enough to go well with the song and yet let the viewer see these long length clips which honestly is kind of the point of a highlight hehe.
Nothing to critique here. You know how to edit highlights flawlessly at this point. You make it all look easy and effortless.

MOTYC and one of my favorite matches in FMVC HISTORY!!! AHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh!
