This is a loser gets 10 lashes match. Solid stuff, with Deaton bumping around, and Tommy being intense. Deaton had some nice punches. Tommy takes a big bump to the floor, but reverses a bulldog with a roll up. They have a great post match angle where Tommy tells Deaton he owes him one, and then he jumps Steve Armstrong and he and Deaton whip Armstrong. This isn't very long, but it is a fun TV match and awesome angle and I am going to give it a nomination.

 

The Tommy Rich Story

Without the angle I wouldn't see this as a nomination though it is a good tv bout. With the angle sure, but I think you need the pre-match stuff with Tommy losing the Most Popular Award vote to Scott Armstrong. Both guys did look sharp in the match though. Really impressed with how tight all of Tommy's offense looked actually.
