Pre-match Jaggers gets a new PNW belt. Jaggers is sort of a poor man's Dusty Rhodes here and Mike Miller a poor man's Jake Roberts but if you are going to trying and replicate two guys you could do worse than that. Crowd is really into this and bites on all the early stalling and punch exchanges. You wish Jaggers had a bit more offensively but his knees looked nasty and the finishing lariat was nice. Pretty decent first fall.

 

2nd Fall has some decent exchanges of leverage holds that the crowd was really into and I liked some of Miller's prickish behavior. Jaggers arm/wrist ends up getting attacked with Jaggers doing some decent dead armed selling Miller really looking deliberate in his work. I am always a fan of finger manipulation spots and there was some of that here as well as some nasty looking knees. Jaggers tried to fire up but took a fall off of a telegraphed back body drop attempt and an elbow drop.

 

Third fall starts off fast with Jaggers going right at Miller, but Miller avoids the elbow drop and punts Bobby to the floor. Then Miller grabs the new belt and flees.

 

There were parts of this I liked but I wouldn't fight for it on the set. I'll toss it on the dock as something that might be a low level nomination/bottom barrel type pick that others could conceivably enjoy more than I did.

This featured some good exchanges, with Jaggers shining on offense. But there wasn't much flow or build to it, so my attention wandered. If anything, the second fall felt less intense than the first, which is never great. Then, Miller just fled with the belt. I'm fine leaving this off the set.
