Pre-match dueling Smothers/Ice mic work was unsurprisingly excellent. PG-13's pre-match ritual is so ridiculous it's a sure fire heat getter in and of itself. They haven't even locked up and Ice is flexing and strutting around the apron, jumping down argue with fans, graabbing the mic and shit talking the infamous old lady, et. DWB runs over and hugs her which gets a huge pop as Dundee flips the fuck out. Wolfie armdrags Tracy and of course PG-13 go into a ridiculous celebration. Tracy wins the next exchange and of course PG-13 flip out. We are now nearing five minutes in and there have been all of two successful offensive moves and this is still awesome. Pace finally picks up with Smothers clearing the heels out with dropkicks and PG-13 dropping to the floor to call a timeout. Thugz taunt them by doing the Fargo Strut. Now Wolfie is talking shit on the house mic. Ice gets bested in an armwringer exchange and ends up getting double chopped to a big a bump before retreating to his corner yet again. Holy Shit DWB's mocking of PG-13 dance is fucking hysterical. Ice gets into a criss cross with Anthony and ends up jumping into the arms of Wolfie to avoid a right hand. They both flee in terror, while Anthony makes the homophobic hand wave gesture and the crowd breaks out in a massive "faggot!" chant. Cool double drop down spot with PG-13 running into each other and taking each other out. Dundee grabs the mic and says the official is biased and they are leaving. Then he's calling Anthony "fatboy" and telling him if he doesn't play fair this time he's going home. Wolfie comes in and they end up working a pretty standard control segment, before Ice breaks it up with a knee to the back of Smothers, followed by an over the top clothesline bump. Smothers takes a crazy guardrail bump that almost knocks out the front row. Smothers is really good taking a beating here and I'm impressed as his ability to sell so convincingly for two guys that were being off the charts comedic just three minutes earlier. Crowd is almost frantic in their support for Smothers at this point as the heels are bringing out all the tricks to work him over and stir up shit. Really cool spot with Ice getting caught in a desperation sunset flip off of a rope running spot but Curtis is distracted by Wolfie in the corner. This is followed up shortly thereafter by an ever better spot with Tracy avoiding a corner splash but getting caught by a running clothesline from the apron as he tries to make a full escape. Ice takes a huge corner bump on a really excellent teased hot tag as I was certain Smothers was going to get DWB in. Heels attempt the same spot with the missed corner charge/clothesline but Smothers ducks and they take each other out. Smothers catches Ice coming off the top but still can't fight to the corner. Finally hit hits a double DDT and then sells for a few seconds before making a huge leaping hot tag. DWB in and he is cleaning house. Bucksnort Blaster bu the ref misses the fall and PG-13 use the hubcap but Smothers breaks up the pin. Thugz use the hubcap for the pinfall. Randy Hales complains about the hubcap use post-match and Curtis reverse his decision. Besides the lame Dusty finish this was a tremendous Southern tag, with all four guys looking great.

I thought this was really entertaining. PG-13's wigger(not to be offensive) act is so good. They just amp the heat up. I loved The Thugz Fargo Strut. It felt kinda like an easter egg in a comic book movie. The shine segments were real good. Then when PG-13 goes to get heat they bring the awesome with Smothers as the FIP. This bout had so many great southern tag moments. This feels like a strong end nomination.

USWA Tag Titles: PG-13 (JC Ice & Wolfie D) © vs. The Thugz ("Dirty White Boy" Tony Anthony & "Wild Eyed Southern Boy" Tracy Smothers) (5/19/95)

 

This is the beginning of the SMW/USWA feud and the pre-match shit here is fucking great. JC & Granny going at it was classic. There was some really great horseshit going on at the start of the match with both teams being great playing off the other one's schtick. Smothers goes over the top rope on a clothesline then gets thrown into the railing which takes out almost the entire front row to start off the PG-13 control section and this was really solid. Smothers gets worked over relentlessly as the heels are fantastic at getting the crowd so fucking riled up they could murder them. DWB would finally get the hot tag and he ran wild hitting the Bucksnort Blaster on JC before Wolfie would use the hubcap to break up the pin. Tracy then picked up the hubcap and nailed JC with it behind Curtis' back to get the win or so they thought. Randy Hales gets on the apron and complains about the hubcap being used forcing Mark Curtis to reverse his decision. Hales then escorts his boys out after they get the belts back and the war is on. This was fantastic stuff and is a slam dunk nomination.
