Reed Low Uses Ryan VandenBussche as a Punching Bag

The heading tells you all you need to know about this one. Reed Low was one of many big, strong men the Blues used in an enforcer role. They seemed to always come up with the next one just as the old guard was moving on or sent along.

In recent history, you had Chase and then Twist and then Low took over. He wasn’t quite as powerful as Twist and didn’t have the edge that Chase did, but he combined them both in some aspects and that made him a bull to deal with once you got him going.

Ryan VandenBussche did just that and he paid the price for it. This one had all the things you want. Furious fists and lots of free wheeling effort.

If it was a boxing match, Low would not have fared well with the judges. He went for the early haymaker and completely whiffed. In the sweet science, he would have been made to pay. In a hockey fight, he simply recovered and proceeded to make VandenBussche’s face into mush.

The fists were flying like something in an action movie and seemed almost unreal. Though Chicago fans would say their man got the take down, in reality Low essentially hit his opponent with a DDT that would make Jake the Snake Roberts proud.
