Early going of the first fall is fun with Steiner taking some nasty bumps, doing some over the top selling of the arm work Jaggers brought, et. I also liked the slickness of his little gut kick at one point. Steiner eventually takes over with the old boot/eye rake which rules. They throw some nice strike exchanges in here though nothing great. I did like Steiner dropping into a single leg to avoid a Jaggers comeback. Jaggers eventually takes the fall with a lariat/elbow combo. Solid.

 

Second Fall sees Jaggers tossed to the floor right away and Steiner takes over on him quick. Steiner wins in quick fashion with a diving clothesline.

 

Third Fall is Steiner in control and going for near falls quickly. Steiner really has a pretty broad and effective looking offensive arsenal which is good for this sort of stuff. Jaggers and Steiner go into a punching combo that ends with Steiner taking a back body drop but the ref gets bumped. Miller uses his crutch from the outside to sweep Jaggers leg on a slam attempt and Steiner wins. Post-match Jaggers is bloodied and destroyed by the heels.

 

There was enough here for consideration.

Yeah, Karl Steiner. He's been solid every time out in Portland, and this was no exception. I really liked the way he worked with Jaggers' arm stuff in the first fall. And whenever he went on offense, he really laid in his shots. I wish Jaggers bleeding had been a bigger part of the match instead of coming in the post-match. But I enjoyed this one throughout. Low-level yes,
