Funny opening as they battle for a bodyslam with Morton blocking Lee's attempts to huge pops and then successfully hitting his own to a huge pop. the match sort of goes from their with Ricky working fast paced spots and confounding Lee who gets dropped off of one off moves and retreats to the corner to regroup. He finally catches Ricky with a bodyslam and a fistdrop to the throat and takes over. Crowd is really into this one and Ricky mixes in some really simple hope spots, taking his trademark arm bump into the corner, hitting a nice jawbreaker, doing his cool jumping unches out of the corner, et but getting cut off every time. Ricky finally hits a crossbody and appears to have the fall but Fytch puts Lee's leg on the ropes saving him. Candido heads to ringside and they go to a sequence with Morton trying to win with roll ups. Gibson shows up and intercepts a purse pass from Tammy and decks Lee DQ'ing Ricky. Post-match the heels destroy the RnR's. This was another solid little tv match.

I thought this was a dandy little t.v match. Story was simple but effective. The big man vs. the little man. I'm a huge mark for Morton's jumping punches. Plus we get a nice piece of business to add some heat to the feud with Candido/Lee team. I have no problems with it going forward, but wouldn't fight for it.

"Primetime" Brian Lee vs. Ricky Morton (4/4/94)

 

Candido is on commentary and he is channeling Buddy Landell really hard here especially Landell during his run teaming with Butch Reed almost using the same exact lines. Morton was really good here playing the little man to Lee's big man offense with the speed vs. power motif being in play. Lee works Morton over good and the fans are into Ricky's comeback as expected as the hope spots were well done. Candido & Tammy would get involved bringing out Gibson who steals Tammy's purse and uses it on Lee as Mark Curtis turned around for the DQ. This was a fine TV match and I'll push it forward.
