Studd Stable bumping around like crazy early. God damn the RnR were over. Studd Stable are really great at taking an asskicking and being made to look like fools without loosing any of their bad ass flavor. Golden gets his leg worked over early, but that's really just a vehicle for Gibson and Morton to take potshots at Fuller and get the crowd really going. Ricky ends up working FIP (shocking!) after Golden kicks out of a leg lock sending him into the heels corner. It is really crazy to watch how smoothly Morton transitions from offensive dynamo, to victim as he immediately starts selling his off and fucking blades himself for Fuller's awesome punching barrage. The heels end up posting Ricky on the floor and then Golden just punts him full tilt in the ribs. Damn the Stable are so great at cutting off the ring and adding extra umph to every fucking blow. Fuller hits a really strange looking delayed spinebuster for a nearfalls and the crowd is going bonanzas for Ricky who is selling a fucking bearhug like they have his nuts in a vice. Ricky's hot tag is well done and Gibson makes a good house of fire as usual. Golden is about to eat a pin after a double dropkick when Fuller pulls the ref out of the ring. Finish is a switcharoo as Gibson has Golden in a sleeper hold when Fuller comes off with a double axe. He tries to get the ref to count the three but while he is pleading Ricky comes in and puts Robert on top for the three. This pretty much had everything you would want out of a Southern tag involving these guys and a good post-match Studd Stable beatdown to boot.

This is good stuff and a solid nomination. The crowd reacts to the Rock N Roll like the Beatles have reformed. Morton was great early with all his suff really clicking. I dug the Rock N Roll working Golden's led and working spots around it. It was just vintage Rock N Roll. Of course we have a neat transition and Morton is FIP and does an amazing job at it. He busted open I guess off of a punch. So the Studd Stable goes to work on the cut. They do a great job at it. Morton's hope spots are great here. Plus we got a fun finish. Morton and the Studd Stable looked great here. Gibson was Gibson here. When people talk about Morton carrying the team this is a prime example.

The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) vs. The Stud Stable ("Luscious" Robert Fuller & "Gorgeous" Jimmy Golden) (8/8/92)

 

This was the first RnR match together in SMW saying this was the first time they teamed in two years which was a lie. They broke up in WCW in Spring 1991 then got back together in USWA a few months before this. RnR use the live version of Old Time Rock & Roll by Bob Seger in an homage to THE RISKY BUSINESS BOYS and the crowd goes completely apeshit when they come out. The brawl is on as soon as they hit the ring with RnR coming out on top and Morton tells the fans they have come to rock their asses off. RnR are great on offense to start here with Golden equally as great taking punishment and selling it like hell. The classic RnR psychology would come to form here as Morton gets caught in the Stud's corner and they take turns working him over along with getting juice from Morton which was a nice touch. Everyone is great here with the fans going nuts as Morton gets killed then you have Gibson on the apron going nuts wanting the tag and the Stud's are great as asskickers. Gibson would finally get the hot tag and he goes to war on the Stud's before the 4-way brawl gets going setting up the big double dropkick on Golden but Fuller pulls the referee out of the ring as he tried to make the count. Morton then attacks Fuller on the floor as Gibson has Golden in a sleeper allowing Fuller to hit him with a double axehandle and Golden falling on Gibson. Morton though turns the tables as Fuller is celebrating and the RnR gets the win. The attack continued after the match with the Stud's just beating the hell out of the RnR. This was awesome and is an easy nomination.
