Posted June 7, 201213 yr comment_5505892 This starts out slow when Martel hits a really sharp looking O'Conner roll on Hawk for a great near fall with Martel flying off wildly when Martel powers out. Hawk goes to work on Martel's ribs, but Martel comes back with a really good looking cross body for another near fall. Bravo comes in and the crowd is really hot for the Hawk/Bravo test of strength which ends with Hawk eating a monkey flip which was a cool surprise. Bravo goes FIP as Animal comes in and hits his huge jumping elbow. Bravo does a cool power out spot, but gets cut down and Hawk takes over hitting his nice fist drop for a near fall. Bravo is a really good FIP here as they tease some nice comebacks, but the Warriors are on point with their cut off spots. Martel gets the tag in but almost immediately gets caught coming off the ropes with a press slam throat first on the top cable. The Roadies go for their off the ropes double clothesline spot but Bravo catches Hawk with a knee in the back off the rope. The credits start to role and chairs fly in the ring which the faces use as weapons as the match gets thrown out. This was a lot of fun and the finish was less screwjobish and more wild end to a "clash of the titans" style super main event for the territory.

The Bravo FIP section didn't do a whole lot for me, but the crowd was hot for it. Though I loved the monkey flip spot. Martel is a great hot tag and they follow the AWA formula and he gets cut off and goes FIP for a minute or 2. Then they builld to the wild finish. A fun match that feels like a low-end nomination.
