Tajiri attacks Lynn at the bell but we miss some of this because Jack Victory is jawing with Gabe. Cool spot with Tajiri mocking Lynn by sitting on his knees and flipping off the fans but when he gets up Lynn shoots out of the corner and hits him with a running bulldog. Lynn takes out Victory and Corino at the ringside while Tajiri stalks around on the floor suckering Lynn in and then opening up with kicks in the ring. Tajiri locks on the tarantula and then takes time to shit talk the fans while sliding across the middle rope ala Naniwa's crabwalk elbow. Awesome looking Tajiri baseball slide/tree of woe kick as Victory curses out Gabe again. Tajiri winning with kicks and they set up a Lynn comeback after Tajiri rana's Lynn on a comeback attempt only for Lynn to clothesline him. Brief fighting spirit spot from Lynn that ends in a Corino run-in behind the refs back. Lynn ends up fighting off the heels and winning with a cradle piledriver. Tajiri was great in this and Lynn was pretty good though you wished they could have set up a better finish.

"New F'N Show" Jerry Lynn vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri (11/18/99)

 

The work here was good as both men executed their stuff well but this just didn't pull me in like their other matches and you had the stuff at the end and I'm on the fence on this as a nomination. Maybe with a better finish run this would've been better but it just didn't do it for me.
