Posted November 19, 201014 yr comment_5458435 Sadly the Tommy Rich pre-match mic work is almost entirely unintelligible though it does get the crowd pissed. Opening fast exchange with Guido/Nova is good and builds to a good babyface double team spot and Tracy tagging in. Smothers does the dueling hand clap spot with Meanie and it's great here as the crowd chants "fuck you" to the rhythm of his clapping when he tries to get them going. Rich grabs the mic and starts denouncing the crowd for failing to get behind Tracy. They do the spot with the ref slamming Smothers and Guido, cept this team he also knocks Rich over and decks Jeff Jones who is also with the FBI as the personal ref of the Big Don. Nova hits his middle rope plancha onto Guido and Smothers but Rich ends up hotshotting him on the guardrail. Good double team offense from the FBI and Tracy is dancing along to a "faggot" chant. Then they do a quick, but good cutoff spot and then Nova ends up hitting his stupid ass powerbomb/elbow drop combo for another even better cutoff spot. Guido with a diving elbow that he sort of slips on and the crowd chants "you fucked up" as Jeff Jones screams "no he didn't!" which really eggs them on. Meanie hot tags off of a press slam face plant bump from Guido. Big Don gets decked and the faces do some good looking spots for nearfalls but Meanie gets caught going for a moonsault with a flagpole shot from Rich to set up the finish. Another very good FBI showing.
December 8, 201014 yr comment_5459981 FBI vs. Blue Meanie & Nova (10/3/98) - Was that Sinatra or Tommy Rich on the Italian flag? Can’t tell. Anyway, typical fun FBI match but this is another matchup we’ll have to see where we can make a cut and if the similarities were enough to cut one. This one had a lot of shtick in between tags early on so that may be taken into consideration. The Nova in Peril section was fun and the end is pretty par for the course in FBI matches. Nailing the Meanie with the flag to get the pin. This is another one to move forward but may be dropped if too many of this match show up.
February 14, 201114 yr comment_5464500 The Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido & Tracy Smothers) vs. The Blue Meanie & Super Nova (10/3/98) This was another good match in the series but this is one we could leave off I think because there wasn't anything really dynamic here that sets it apart from the others we already have nominated.
