Another face v. face match. Chetti gets worked over early by a pretty spirited Lynn/Rogers combo. Actually I loved Chetti's comeback as he did an overhead judo throw on Rogers to cut his momentum. Mikey comes in and I also like the original exchange he had with Rogers though it was pretty simple stuff. Rogers knees Mikey hard as fuck in the head and then punches Chetti in the face. Then Mikey gets tossed to the floor hard and Lynn tosses him into the guardrail. Holy shit, Rogers/Lynn are working heel! Mikey ends up firing back and gets Rogers out on the floor with a slingshot clothesline. Then he hits a baseball slide. Rogers ends up isolated and takes a nice looking dropkick and then a shitty looking dropkick from a seated position. Rogers gets up and goes for the tag and Mikey knees him to the floor but he tags Lynn on the way out. Lynn powerbombs Mikey for a nearfall but Chetti comes in and breaks it up. Rogers ends up pulling Chetti to the floor where they have a really good looking forearm exchange of all things. Lynn and Rogers hit a devastation device with a cross body instead of a clothesline. Mikey ends up taking out Lynn, but Rogers hits the Tomikaze on Chetti who is by himself immediately after. Totally off the wall match. I'm not sure how good it really was, but it was incredibly fun to watch. Chetti worked unusually stiff and it was fun to watch these guys work varying shades of heel.

Mikey Whipwreck & Chris Chetti vs. Tommy Rogers & Jerry Lynn (11/15/97)

- I thought this was really energetic early on with both teams looking good. Then again, Mikey was taking the bulk of the match for his team. I thought a lot of the spots were really well-timed and I don’t remember seeing any flubs. Oh man, Rogers drops Chetti with the Unprettier. I don’t know how this would stand up with the better tag teams on the set so I can see the low-end nomination. Still, I wanna see if Tommy rogers pops up more. This might fill the role of showcasing Rogers in ECW.

Damn two scientific matches to start the show, the mutants may kill themselves and of course the boring chant starts a minute in. This had some good fast paced action which again the crowd didn't care about and I liked the teamwork that Lynn & Rogers showed especially working over Mikey. There were no clear defined roles here to me as it just seemed like 4 guys working spots tagging in and out so there were no real heat sections. The crowd started getting into it at the end when they really kicked up the action before Rogers spiked Chetti with the Tomikaze. Solid work here by both teams and I can see a low-end pick but falling off the list.
