New Jack is really great in the pre-match stuff, ripping up Confederate flags and jawing at methed out redneck women in the front row. I have no clue who this babyface team is though I am guessing Kris will recognize them from the North Georgia indy scene of the period. It's almost hard to believe how good New Jack was at this point in his career. Not that he was tremendous, but he was good at begging off, good at setting up for and taking the babyface offense, and good at all the other basic shit that makes a good traditional Southern heel. Babyufaces are very basic, but energetic. I was impressed to see a fireman's carry used as a set up move, even if their was a needlessly long delay on the subsequent highspot. Eventually one of the babyfaces gets bumped off the top and the Gangstas work him over. Gangstas heat segment is actually really good as they bring more offensive than you might think - some of it pretty clever - and all of it really intense. New Jack ends up going for a piledriver on the floor and gets backdropped and they do a great teased hot tag off of that. Mustapha ends up taking a good head bump into the corner to set up the hot tag and the finish is one of the babyfaces hitting a really big time moonsault only for Curtis to be distracted long enough for New Jack to hit a really nasty looking elbow drop to set up the the pinfall. This may not make the cut, but I am putting it through to the next round as something that people ought to at least consider.

NGWA Tag Titles: Johnny Studd & "Loverboy" Lee Thomas © vs. The Gangstas (Mustafa Saed & New Jack) (7/3/94)

 

Here is another NGWA special match in Marietta and you gotta love the Gangstas ripping up the rebel flag and wiping their noses with it. Lee Thomas still wrestles but Johnny Studd pretty much vanished. DANNY DEES was their manager and he sucked as a babyface manager but he was fucking great as a heel manager especially feuding with Sir Samuel F. Kent. This was a total Gangstas performance as the babyfaces weren't that good per se but New Jack more than made up for their shortcomings. I think this definitely should be an extra on the set to show everyone that the Gangstas actually could work a southern style tag match without depending on weapons.
