All the opening stuff with Guido and Nova was great as Guido made Nova's bullshit look good by hamming it up big time. Rich gets on the mic and sets up the Tracy/Meanie dance off with Smothers busting his ass on the backflip over the rope to enter the ring. Cool way to break it up as Smothers drills Meanie with a dropkick after the ref dances. Rich is so pissed he gets into the ring and gets shoved on his ass by the ref which leads to the spot with the ref double clotheslining and body slamming the FBI to a massive pop from the Southern crowd. Nova does a huge tope that sends the FBI flying half way down the aisle off of a Meanie dive fake, but Rich takes over by hitting a nasty diving bulldog into the railing on Nova, crotching him on the railing a minute later and hitting him with a blindside clothesline right after. Some cool FBI double teams, including the atomic drop/pump kick combo which always looks great. Rich takes his fingers and rubs them into Nova's eyes and then shows his paint to the crowd. Really good cut off as Nova turns a sunset flip attempt into a legdrop but Smothers rakes his eyes on the nearfall and then tags him with a good looking dropkick. Another cool spot with Nova countering a powerslam attempt with a roll up. And yet another cool one with a Smothers backfist knocking Nova out as he got back up on a chinlock/work the crowd spot. Nova finally gets the hot tag off of his powerbomb/elbow combo and Meanie who looks crazy fat here hits a bunch of fat man offense and knocks Rich face first on his ass through a table taking him out which sets up a clean Nova fall over Guido. This might have been the best match of their entire series.

The Blue Meanie & Super Nova vs. The Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido & Tracy Smothers) (5/29/98)

 

bWo chants a year after their breakup was funny. Guido really does make Nova look good in their opening section as he was pinballing all over the ring. The danceoff was great of course and I liked Smothers dropkicking Meanie right in the grill to stop it. I fucking loved Rich giving Nova a quasi bulldog off the apron to the railing to setup the heat section. FBI was fun here working over Nova as usual with Nova being good trying to fight back with rollups. Meanie gets the hot tag and yes he was very fat here like Dylan said as he was jigglin all over the place and even put Rich through a table which didn't happen much before the finish. Yeah this was really good stuff and moves forward easily.

FBI vs. Super Nova & Blue Meanie (5/29/98)

- There was nothing wrong with Nova’s offense early on. Flashy but well-executed. I understand not liking the guy but he did nothing to get offended about here and it wasn’t because Guido saved him. After the early shine, we get the dance-off which 6/26/98 did not have followed by the big crash course tope. The FBI control heat segment was similar which means it was all good including the similar hope spots from Nova. However, he mixes in a pin combo and a powerslam rollwed through with a Guido pin in this one. One of my favorite spots as Nova tries a comeback on Tracy but gets a back elbow that drops Nova. I marked out. Big but brief ending and I may have liked the double team finish from the 6/26 match better but this one was more memorable and way better overall.
