Lane's karate stuff did not look super impactful but still worked out fine and was a good set up for the Gibson enziguri. The Lane headgear gimmick really does add an extra dimension to these Bodies matches as every time he gets whacked in the head it feels like a big moment and the crowd reacts in kind. Typically great rope running spot with Pritchard/Morton ending in an arm drag flurry that clears the ring despite Lane being a bit of out of position in the early going. Gibson hitting an armdrag and waving at Lane, leading to the RnR's working the heel schtick behind the refs back was great. They go to work on Pritchard's arm and Gibson literally swings him around by it like he's a child. Morton gets kneed to the floor off a rope running exchange and takes the old racket shot from Corny. Heels work a fun, but short control segment on Morton, who hits a desperation double sunset flip which he wisely used as a way to get the hot tag. Killer Kyle trips Gibson coming off the ropes and Bodies get a near fall off of it that I thought for sure was going to be the BS finish. Curtis tosses Curtis out of the ringside area. Gibson his a shitty body press. Nice blindside double dropkick from the RnR's, but all hell breaks loose with the Studd STable pulling the top rope and Gibson taking a huge bump right after Corny took a huge bump himself. Gibson gets pinned a few seconds later. This was pretty awesome despite it's flaws.

A good match between the teams that moves forward. I think the lane version of the bodies are so much better in terms of schtick and timing compared to the Del Rey version. Del Rey is a damn good worker though.

This is the 1st t.v bout between the teams and it is a heck of a bout. The Rock N Roll shine was really good with both guys looking good. The Bodies are just experts at timing and how to feed the face. Eventually the Bodies take control and work over Morton. Then he gets the hot tag to Gibson and they cut Gibson off to work him over. Pritchard has been real impressive in this setting so far. They tease a finish, but they go in another direction which is cool, and adds a little heat to the Rock N Roll vs. Studd Stable feud. This is a really good maiden voyage of the feud that drew SMW more money than any other feud in the company. This was a solid nomination.

SMW Tag Titles: The Heavenly Bodies ("Sweet" Stan Lane & Dr. Tom Prichard) © vs. The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) (8/31/92)

 

This is the first matchup between the Bods & RnR and Cornette said before the match that this was going to be the only match they would have. The fans are hot here trying to get their noise through Stan's headgear which is covering his busted eardrum. Stan throws some kicks early but eats a big enzuigiri by Gibson which solidifies the RnR's advantage. The Bods bump like pinballs as Morton throws some really good armdrags before they take Prichard to the mat. Lane would eventually distract Morton allowing Doc to knee him in the back sending him to the floor where Corny popped him with the racket and this starts the heels control section. The Bods work over Morton but he quickly bounces back getting the hot tag after countering a hot shot with Gibson running wild as the crowd goes nuts. Killer Kyle would trip Gibson which leads to 4-way brawling and brings out the Stud Stable who holds down the top rope so Gibson crashes over to the floor. They would roll Gibson back in the ring and he would get pinned in a really good ending to the match as it keeps RnR & Studs as the main feud. This was really solid and moves forward easily.

These need to be merged
