No DQ No Time Limit for the SMW Tag Titles: Chris Candido & "Primetime" Brian Lee © vs. The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) (5/20/94)

 

Tammy is getting into better shape now and showing off the goods a little more now and Lee is sporting the black hair at this time. Some good stuff at the start as RnR was great at getting the crowd going and the heels were good at selling their frustration. Candido was really damn good here early on taking punishment and the tug of war spot between RnR & Lee with Candido nuts going into the ringpost was fun. There was a bad botch by Morton off a dive in the corner but it led to Lee just killing him with a clothesline as he tried to piledrive Candido. This started the Morton FIP section and he was great here selling also. The heels big moves and foreign objects at will with Mark Curtis being distracted by Gibson keeping Morton grounded. The build to the hot tag was great as Morton was lunging over Candido but was slammed down with a spinebuster before he could touch Gibson. Morton would finally get the tag after a couple of reverse atomic drops and the camera work was great here showing Morton selling all the anguish he just went through. Tammy would get involved with Morton kissing her then getting slapped then almost eating a piledriver before Candido whacked him with her purse to win. This didn't set the world on fire by any means but I dug it a lot and liked RnR in a different dynamic than the Bodies here. This is a nomination.

I thought Candido and Morton carried this. Lee did did a copuple cool things like the clothesline that transitioned into the FIP on Morton, and the Flying Knee drop. Gibson did his usual stuff. Still I think this doesn't make the cut. The camera angle wasn't the hottest for all the rope running spots, plus it focused a little too much on Tammy.(Who can blame him)Plus it looks like we will have a few of these matches going on the set as is.
