J.T. Smith v. Rolling Thunder

 

I got really excited for this with J.T. flipping off the crowd and falling off the ropes pre-match. Then the camera went out and when it came back out Cactus was coming to the ring. I've never been more disappointed. No J.T.

 

Cactus Jack v. Hack Myers

 

What was shown here was pretty good but it appeared to be clipped up pretty heavily. Myers looked good working his comebacks and Foley's anti-hardcore act was getting good heat. Myers almost killed Foley with the reverse cattle branding, but then they went straight to the double arm ddt finish which was odd.

 

Too Cold Scorpio v. Tommy Dreamer

 

This was solid. There was some terrible camera work early and the Foley run-in and ref bump kinda hurt this but the meat was pretty good with Dreamer being a good FIP and Scorp being his awesome self. Also Scorp did his moonsault legdrop for the finish which is pretty much my all time favorite wrestling highspot. Dreamer was also pretty decent in this.

 

Steiners v. Raven/Steve Richards

 

This was okay. Richards actually didn't bump as crazily as you would expect for the Steiners and the crowd brawling spots were totally obscured.

 

Pitbulls v. Dudley Dudley/Dances With Dudley

 

I actually liked Pitbull 2's highspots in this a good bit as they looked explosive and pretty nasty. I also appreciated the fact that they actually tried to work a traditional tag with an extended FIP segment. Problem is you don't want to see a Pitbulls match worked that way and this Dudleys pairing isn't really over or the best at working over even the most sympathetic of babyfaces - something the jacked up 2 most certainly isn't. A decent effort but a match booked against their strengths.

 

Sandman v. Mikey Whipwreck

 

This is JIPed and there is really no way of knowing how much of it was chopped out. It starts with Sandman taking a crazy ladder bump and Mikey hitting a crazy dive which leads you to believe they were fairly far along in this one. This gets clipped up a few times which is too bad because what is shown is really pretty spectacular with Mikey and Sandman both hitting some great spots, bumping big and really looking fired up.

 

The Gangstas v. Public Enemy (Street Fight)

 

Two refs in this one is Fonzy the other is 911. In the end Fonzy screwjob gave Gangstas the win after a clusterfuck a lot of which was out of camera range.

Clipping was terrible here but this had it's moments.

 

Nothing nomination worthy though.
