Posted September 9, 201015 yr comment_5455490 Danny Doring/Roadkill v. Jerry Lynn/Tommy Rogers Roadkill and Rogers work well together and this was a really good example of that as every time they paired off you got some good stuff. Roadkill was really bumping huge for Rogers and taking some incredibly stiff shots from him as well. Rogers and Doring did not click - hell they botched up a monkey flip. But I could watch Roadkill and Doring punch each other and take turns doing dangerous shit to each other on the floor all day. Doring/Lynn pairing was inoffensive if unspectacular. Set up for Rogers FIP with him taking the suplex on the floor was well done, and the fact that they actually targetted the back was a nice surprise. There was a really great teased hot tag spot where Rogers rolled forward to Lynn who was eating a Doring forearm just as Rogers got the corner. This had it's fair share of flubs, but after watching several shows with good matches ruined by run-ins, I really appreciated a clean ending with both heels definitively taken down a peg. Justin Credible v. Chris Chetti Chetti successfully executing a wheel barrow suplex was somewhat shocking. Credible took his big bumps in this and I actually enjoyed some of his heel schtick, i.e. pointing to his chin to get Chetti to hit him and then eyeraking him, et. This had a pretty decent back and fourth finishing run to it as well. Solid enough match. Paul Diamond v. Mikey Whipwreck The first part of this is really unexpected as it is all Mikey on offense. Diamond is bumping around like crazy for him, they are working tons of heel spots with Chastity, et. it's actually sort of weird as Mikey starts by using his speed but ends up punching Diamond in the face and even overpowering him on an exchange or two. Diamond ends up taking over off of a Chastity distraction that actually works and decides to work the mid-section of all things, punting Mikey, double stomping Mikey, ab stretching Mikey (with requisite heel leverage spots), et. Mikey's comeback was well built to though not that well executed. Chastity run in breaks up a pin attempt and Diamond hits his terrible float over DDT finish for a nearfall. Then Diamond gets a frankensteiner off the top where he lands on Mikey on the way down but somehow still gets pinned. The build in this was solid but the payoff and the back end really sucked. Al Snow v. Super Nova Nova was horrible in this. Actually Snow's bumping for Meanie on the floor was easily the best thing about this match. FBI v. Axl Rotten/Balls Mahoney No Big Don present for this one. Guido has several fun interactions with Balls that result in Guido being taken over Balls knee and spanked after a gutbuster. Then Axl Rotten hits a baseball slide of all things onto both members of the FBI. Punch drunk Guido retreats to the corner after a drop toehold/legdrop combo and Smothers refuses to tag in and calls for a time out instead. He finally backflips into the ring after some stalling and heat building. Smothers and Balls do some of their staple exchanges move-for-move before Tracy retreats to his corner. They work a distraction spot to gain control over Balls which is interesting as normal Rich is the guy that sets up their comeback. Axl hot tag is okay and god damn they are doing the Jeff Jones assisted finish yet again. These guys have a good regular match and this was hit but I've long since worn tired of the finish they used here. Taz v. Pitbull 1 Squash Spike Dudley v. Bubba Dudley Spike bumps huge for Bubba. I was going to go into more detail here because there is a lot of stuff I liked. But why bother when there is a fucking New Jack run-in to ruin it. Sandman v. Rob Van Dam Sandman took some of Van Dam's shit really well in this. In particular there is a chair baseball slide that looks like it might kill him.
