Posted July 25, 201015 yr comment_5453579 Eliminators v. Sabu/RVD Made SC top 100. Chris Chetti v. Little Guido Chetti's debut. He wasn't very good. Guido tried but there wasn't much to work with. Balls Mahoney v. Stevie Richards This was actually pretty good with Mahoney working quasi-heel and Stevie looking pretty good as FIP. Not strong enough to nominate but a pleasant surprise. Spike Dudley v. Axl Rotten Solid performance by Spike. A few nice dives and bumps. Leads directly into... The Gangstas v. The Dudleys This was more fun than I would have thought. Lots of plunder shots, but at times this actually felt like a tag match and not guys getting hit with shit. New Jack's dive is fucking insane in this as he throws a little kid out of the way and then falls short of his target and nearly kills himself in the process. The end with Jack coming off the top and getting caught with a Bubba cutter was shockingly inventive for a Gangstas match. Entertaining. Tracy Smothers v. Taz Competitive squash. Not bad for what it was but Taz gave Devon Storm more which is kinda sad. Brian Lee/Raven v. Terry Funk/Tommy Dreamer Watched this on the Funk Set and again today with my little bro. I liked Funk in this and thought his big dive was pretty nuts but this was way overbooked and not as good as you might hope. Everyone of these guys have had much better matches of this sort. Sabu v. Chris Candido I liked this a great deal. This was definitely a "top this" Sabu match but it was really well paced, the spots were all hit cleanly, and when they got to the countering exchanges at the end they came across really organic and less over the top than normal. Candido took some really big bumps in this and even the "cute" Sabu spots that you get in every match came across looking really brutal. I really liked that neither guy kicked out of the others finisher and they were countered instead (Sabu with back drop out of top rope powerbomb and Candido with the knees on the triple jump). I could have gone for some better selling down the stretch, but I thought this was solid. Check out Candido's crowd dive for a really sweet spot that sort of surprised me. Going in the nomination pile.
