Posted May 13, 201114 yr comment_5471118 Oliver, Miller & Ebony vs. Billy Jack, Jaggers & Pritchard - Man, Jaggers is bringing the vicious boot scrapes early on Rip. Similar to early six mans, the faces take turns working over the arm of Rip and Ebony and Miller to let them shine. Besides those boot scrapes, nothing real nasty but they keep the match moving which I can appreciate after the last match. An eyepoke to Pritchard makes him FIP. You know, Miller’s entire offensive output should be whipping guys to the ropes and nailing them because he has some nasty strikes. Billy Jack gets the hot tag, cleans house and hits the nasty stomach buster on Ebony. However, when the ref wasn’t looking, Oliver pops him with the hidden object and the heels get the fall. Really fun first fall. - 2nd fall, don’t blink or you’ll miss it. BJ gets a sloppy cross body on ebony to steal back his fall from earlier. Bleh. - 3rd fall, Jaggers ends up as FIP and the heels go to town, busting him up and just taking turns busting up that bloody face. Pritchard makes the hot tag, a brawl breaks out and Miller gets the pin off a roll up reversal. Short but fun. This is another match where you guys should at least consider watching the match. Mild nomination.
June 16, 201114 yr comment_5473548 The first fall featured typical Portland formula, with the faces working the arm and cutting off the ring to start. I like Pritchard as a face-in-peril but nothing really stood out from the heel heel control section or the scrum that led to Oliver winning with a loaded thumb. The second fall was too short to make an impression, with Billy taking the pin on an arbitrary cross-body. I was happy when they opened Jaggers up in the third fall, but again, nothing really stood out as they went to their typical chaotic ending. This struck me as a formula Portland six-man without the crazy action or fall-to-fall links that distinguish the best of that genre. No vote.
February 25, 201312 yr comment_5536848 Don Owen wearing the hat pre-match was outstanding. I may back this making the set entirely based on that. Well that and Owen calling Ebony "The Black Terror." The crowd was really hot for this and I enjoyed the early rope running spot with Billy Jack/Rip, Tom Pritchard's spinkick and Bobby Jaggers really hamming it up. Pritchard was the right guy to go in peril and man does he hit the ropes hard as hell. He takes an assbeating, but what really stands out is that when he gets whipped he is going 100 miles per hour. I thought the finish to the first fall was actually pretty hot, if somewhat predictable. Second fall comes pretty quick and ends quicker off of a cross body from Billy Jack. Third fall sees Jaggers get busted open and an okay but short FIP. Pritchard gets the hot tag and works an 80's version of RVD gimmick based around random kicks of varying quality. Then all hell breaks loose and the heels steal the win. I liked this, but there is nothing about it that makes me feel like it should be on the set.
