This is the first show I've seen so far that I attended in person. Pre-match J.C. Ice mic work is somewhat difficult to hear at times, but what is audible is typically awesome. Opening Spike/Wolfie segment was really entertaining as they kept having these weird spots that sort of looked like something was being miscomunicated, but kept resulting in shit that made sense or was really cool like Wolfie's wipeout bumps to the floor off of a rope running exchange or Wolfie taking an attempted reverse rollup like a fucking spike piledriver. This all builds to a cool dive spot where PG-13 catch Spike only for Mikey to hit a leaping hilo onto everyone for the big bump. Ice and Mikey exchange starts off great with Ice being incapable of slamming Mikey so Mikey slams him. Ice can't knock Mikey down so Mikey knocks him down. Ice resorts to ridiculous karate posturing, Mikey bows, Ice bows, Mikey punches him in the face. Just lots of fun shit early. Wolfie comes in and throws some punches before Mikey takes advantage again and they do the spot with Ice pouting on the floor and Wolfie consoling him with a hug. Mikey eventually loses control on a cool misdirection clothesline, but the really great stuff starts when Spike comes in. PG-13 takeover on Spike with a clothesline and from there it is just a ton of awesome, with Spike taking rana's into the turnbuckle, getting punched to shit, selling his ass off, et. Mikey is great on the apron desperate to get in. Wolfie ends up taking the great flip bump off the top to lead to the hot tag and Mikey is a great house of fire. Finish is Wolfie getting tossed crotch first off the top by Mikey onto the ropes and Mikey hitting a top rope dropkick onto Ice into a Spike schoolboy. I thought this was a great match when I saw it at the time and seeing it now nothing changes my mind. Watching Mikey work as the strong man/immovable object is really pretty insane but he was great at it. PG-13 were just incredible at incorporating all of the tricks of the trade and Spike sold better than damn near anyone in wrestling at that point. Awesome stuff.

Spike Dudley/Mikey Whipwreck v. PG-13 Easy Nomination - FanCam 7-10-97 (3 hr fancam)

- PG13 are great. I could barely make out what JC was saying on the mic but the crowd was riled up. I love how you think the match is going to start fast and furious with the leap frogs and criss-crosses and Wolfie hooks on the headlock. Spike & Mikey bring enough flair into the match with PG 13 milking the crowd with big bumping, stalling and posing. When they gain control PG13, do a classic double team on Spike and leave Mikey frustrated and helpless. Nice stretch run after the Mikey tag. I wish the stretch run would have lasted longer but the match was solid gold.

Spike Dudley & Mikey Whipwreck vs. PG-13 (JC Ice & Wolfie D) (7/10/97)

 

PG-13 was fucking awesome here in every way and Spike/Mikey was a really good little babyface team so everything added up to a really fun match with everyone looking good. This is an easy nomination.
