Posted September 6, 201015 yr comment_5455362 Opening exchanges with Guido and Solo were a lot of fun as they worked some slick mat counters and throws and I really thought Guido's Boston Crab looked pretty brutal. Rich's mic work is almost totally inaudible which is too bad because he works the crowd into a frenzy during the stalling spots. Really liked Solo's highspot comeback being cut off by a Guido armdrag straight into an armbar and Smothers doing his mock karate spot and getting hit with a dropkick was cool as always. Man Solo's shit does not look good at all but FBI are so great at bumping and selling for it that you don't give a shit. Rogers and Smothers face off spot was great and the run with the big spots on the floor was fucking awesome, especially Rich fleeing from Rogers after Rich dropped Solo on his throat. Smothers three point stance clothesline and Solo's subsequent 360 bump was really great. God damn Solo takes some cool shit including a nasty back elbow and a double boot from Smothers. FIP was a bit short but Smothers was a really good house of fire. Finish was a bit fucked up as Tommy hits the Tomakazie and Solo hits a botched standing shooting star which Rich breaks up with a top rope chain spot. Still I really loved this one.

There were some botches of course but damn this was so good that it moves forward easily.
November 26, 201014 yr comment_5458693 Tommy Rogers/Sammy Solo v. FBI Solid Nomination - FanCam 10-4-98 - - Damn, Tommy Rich still rules. One of you need to collect Rich’s greatest hits so it can go on as an extra on the set. Early on, this is some of the best FBI shtick going on. Rich agitating Solo, walking out on the match, cutting mid match promos… All Awesome. Guido and Solo have an awesome sequence where Guido jaws with the fans, gets kicked, takes some flippy offense and then catches Solo in an armbar from a leap from the top. We go back to the FBI shtick and in ten minutes, they have wrestled for about three but it doesn’t matter. This ruled. With the unique opponents and the shtick, this has to go on the set.
