Posted October 12, 201014 yr comment_5457144 These two always had good matches. Spike is a bump freak early taking a vicious rail shot and getting dumped on his head with a German. Awesome is not terribly good at selling anything but he reacts well to Spike's offensive flurries. Really liked how Spike would get little pieces of offense and Awesome would cut him off almost right away as this made Spike's reversal of attempted table spot into diving bulldog all the more awesome (no pun intended). Chairshots have worn thin on me but a guy Spike's size almost needs a chair to look credible against Awesome so I actually enjoyed his chair based run of nearfalls as well. Finishing run with Spike surviving Awesome highspot after highspot only to be killed with a running table powerbomb into the corner was really great. This was good shit.

You know Spike’s going to put up a fight, throw in some high spots and then get absolutely destroyed. Like with the SICK lariat Awesome lays on him. Again, that lariat may be the move that gets this match on the set but I want to go through all of the matchups first and see if we can’t trim off one or two. It will be hard to cut this one with that lariat. Damn.
