Everything about the Spike/Bubba segment is great from Spike being super aggressive to the vicious Bubba powerbomb and subsequent Spike sell job, to Spike taking big height bumps off of every basic move, to Bubba punching Spike right in the face, to Spike's fired up comeback with rana, to Bubba's bumps on the armdrag, to Bubba's retreat to the corner. Just awesome shit. Amazingly I actually liked the Big Dick/Sandman stallfest as it set up a big over the top bump by Dick leading to the inevitable "shit is breaking down" brawling. Spike ends up hitting a crazy dive on everyone. Dreamer trying to hang D-Von was an uncomfortable moment, but D-Von retaliating shortly after that with a crotching on the rail at least stuck to the theme of underlying racism, as immasculation of white males by black counterparts is a prevailing fear of the Southern, white, male mind. Cool sequence with Dreamer hitting his frog splash and Bubba hitting a nice suplex flows right into a really hot nearfall off of an Acid Drop from Spike. Big Dick and Sandman segment that follows this is even fairly decent as Sandman finally gets his cane out and they do some decent teaser stuff with Dick who has to be the least mobile and shittiest offense wrestler of this era. This somehow transitions into a spot with Beulah and Gertner locking up after Jeff Jones runs out and knocks out a ref. Beulah DDT's both of them and though the attempted prop shots weren't that well done, the finish with Spike leaping into a Big Dick chokeslam looked great. Fuck it, I'm nominating this.

The Dudley Boyz (Big Dick, Buh Buh Ray, & D-Von) vs. Tommy Dreamer, Spike Dudley, & The Sandman (5/29/98)

 

Dudz try to start a riot as usual before the match and they get a ton of heat and the schtick before the match with everyone was fun. Holy shit was the powerbomb that Buh Buh gave Spike awesome, one of the best I've ever seen. Spike was great in general here getting the hell beat out of him then making a fun comeback featuring Buh Buh bumping around for him. This was the best part of the match but the inevitable wild brawling was pretty fun as everyone was good in their role even Big Dick who was horrible. Beulah, Gertner, & Jeff Jones all got involved before Spike was destroyed by a Big Dick chokeslam. I got no problem with this as a low-end pick.
