This was a really awesome segment. FBI comes out to "New York, New York" doing a Sinatra tribute with Tracy in all his dancing glory. Meanie and Nova come out for a rematch from a previous show and the FBI just fucking brutally maul them. You really don't expect this out of the FBI but this is an epic asskicking with Meanie bleeding a horrible gusher and Tommy Rich rubbing the paint off of Nova's face. Damage control comes down to take out the babyfaces and Rich gets on the mic and says something like "some of us may be in jail, Frank may be gone, but this was for you ole Blue Eyes!" Then Axl and Balls come out to replace Nova/Meanie and the FBI ambush them. Match is really a pretty good traditional tag with Guido and Tracy gaining control and doing some great heat garnering schtick, while Rich argues with fans, screams at the camera with his face soaked in Meanie's blood, et. Best spots are Rich bulldogging Balls from the apron to the security railing and Guido getting backdropped onto Tracy from the ring to the floor which essentially resulted in Guido taking a Samoan drop from his tag partner into the railing. Finish was a good babyface comeback leading to double chairshot finish. From top to bottom this was the most entertaining thing I've watched so far. Easy nomination.

With the pre-match mauling of the BWO, this is an easy nomination for the spectacle of it all. Match itslef was a little short but entertining and good tag work from both teams. Dylan touched on Meanie's blood but fuck.. that was sick.

Just watched this again because my buddy Daniel came over and wanted to watch something he'd never seen. What makes this to me is the fact that it's FBI breaking out of their comedy ghetto but without compromising their overtly comedic gimmick. When Meanie/Nova come out you are thinking "this could be a fun little match with some cute comedy spots and FBI schtick." Instead the FBI savagely beat the fuck of Nova and especially Meanie to the point where this shit actually feels like a Joe Pesci in Goodfellas/Casino like explosion of senseless violence. My favorite fucking part of this is Axl walking over to Meanie with a look of legit concern as Meanie is gushing blood from his head, being carried off. Axl Rotten tried to kill his own "brother" with glass and barbed wire bats and even he was worried Meanie had been offed for Ole Blue Eyes. Awesome.

Axl Rotten & Balls Mahoney vs. The Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido & Tracy Smothers) (5/16/98)

 

God damn was this awesome from the FBI intro, to the complete destruction of Meanie & Nova, to the actual match with Axl & Balls, this is a easy nomination.
