Posted August 1, 201015 yr comment_5453805 Chris Chetti/Mikey Whipwreck v. FBI Aside from Chetti somehow managing to fuck up the final build to the hot tag this was really good. Babyfaces got to open hot with the FBI being perfect bump fodder for them and Mikey looking really tight with his armdrags. Early dive segment was good too. Thought Chetti was actually a respectable FIP in this though Mikey really helped by working a bunch of "frustrated partner" spots. Rich almost kills Chetti on the floor at one point and Guido was really good in this. Mikey's hot tag and offensive run was really good and I enjoyed the finish with Rich walloping Mikey with the flag on a roll up attempt. Al Snow v. Paul Diamond Snow comes out in his old WWE Avatar mask and a JOB squad shirt. I don't remember liking Snow much during this period, but watching this I thought he really carried the match. His out of the ring antics and crazy person gimmick really kept things interesting but without letting the pace get totally absurd as was the problem with the previous Diamond match I watched. Some good spots in this, including Snow damn near killing Chastity with a Snowplow. Roadkill v. Tommy Rogers (EXTRA) This was less than 6 minutes but it really was a sweet little sprint. Roadkill is green as grass here in his pre-Amish days and is leaning heavily on heel taunting tactics which is not a negative. Rogers is a great foil for him as he bumps fucking huge against the guardrail and for every piece of offense the rookie has. When it's time to make his comeback Roadkill returns the favor, wiping out on the guardrail and eating one of the nastiest baseball slides I've ever seen. This was good stuff and has me amped to get more FanCam footage of Rogers. Jerry Lynn v. Justin Credible Lynn comes out in his JL gear, gets shit talked by Justin and takes off his hood after cursing him out. Justin really is great at taking Lynn's offense as he really flies around from the headscissors and bumps with speed and violence off of every impact move. This match is filled with early heel Jeff Jones ref bullshit and it's non-sensical and annoying. Otherwise this was not bad. Bam Bam Bigelow v. Spike Dudley Not as good as I'd hoped. Bigelow squashes him pretty brutally but it was toned down from what you got from some of their other encounters. Shane Douglas/Chris Candido v. Dan Kroffat/Doug Furnas The opening with Douglas and Candido dressing like the Bodydonnas (this is Halloween in Stamford), which led to Michaels music hitting and Meanie and Nova coming out was better than the match. Can Ams offense looked weak as fuck in this. No clue if Candido and Douglas just weren't taking it well or what but this was pretty disappointing. Taz v. Sabu Made the SC Top 100. Tommy Dreamer v. Rob Van Dam Tommy was in a boot here but he tried to have a decent match. He always tries. This was way too long and featured a disturbing spot with Van Dam throwing Beulah to the FBI presumably to be gang raped backstage. Tedious. Balls Mahoney/Axl Rotten v. D-Von Dudley/Bubba Dudley v. John Kronus/New Jack Jesus these matches go on forever. There are always individual spots in these that are entertaining but after seeing around fifty of these things you just wish one time that a decent miracle match will spring from the nonsense that is the New Jack run-in. Didn't happen here. Kronus did hit an epic blade job for whatever that is worth.
