Posted August 17, 201213 yr comment_5512908 This was a very good tag match. The HF and Bees work well together as I'm confident now that we'll have a couple of their matches on this set. Jim Brunzell was awesome in this match. He was clearly the best guy in this. The Bees worked on Bret's arm for a few minutes but it wasn't overly long. Brunzell worked a wrist lock on Bret pretty well here as well. Blair was FIP to start and did a decent job. Bret gave him a back breaker and a leg drop. Anvil put him in bear hug which he fought out of. Anvil missed a dropkick and Blair tagged in Brunzell. Brunzell had a nice flurry of offense on Anvil throwing some good punches, hitting a beautiful dropkick, and going for the spinning toe hold. However, Anvil pushed him off and Bret rammed Brunzell in the back with his knee as Brunzell went up against the ropes. HF did a back breaker forearm combo from the second rope and began working on Brunzell's back. Brunzell was great as FIP here. Bret swung Anvil into Brunzell shoulder first pretty stiffly in the corner. Brunzell then got slammed on the Boston Garden floor. HF kept Brunzell at bay with a front face lock but this was really good stuff actually as Brunzell really fought the hold the whole time. Brunzell had two great hope spots with a tremendous dropkick on Bret and a near fall from a sunset flip. He made a tag to Blair but the referee didn't see so HF tried the battering ram swinging spot again but Brunzell moved and Bret took a whiplash bump chest first into the turnbuckle. Brunzell crawled between Anvil's legs and made the tag to Blair. Blair cleaned house and Anvil hit the ropes at one point sending Bret flying into the Boston Garden barricade and into the fucking crowd. That was crazy shit. The finish was a bit disappointing though as Bret hit a prone Blair with a flying elbow drop from the middle turnbuckle and got the pin. He was the illegal man though so there was this annoying controversial finish shit to deal with. I liked this a good bit and was shocked to see no Heel In Peril segment. Brunzell was excellent in this match and really made HF work.

Anvil gives Blair a knee to the stomach and the Harts take over. Nothing has stood out in almost ten minutes of action. Neidhart misses a dropkick and Brunzell tags in. Brunzell didn’t get much offense before a knee in the back turns the tide. Anvil sits in the front facelock to prevent the hot tag. They do the Irish Whip battering ram to Brunzell and it looked particularly nasty the way he sold it. A second battering ram misses and the Bees got the hot tag. Great hot tag. Blair cleans house and hooks in the sleeper but it gets broken up. Ref distraction, Hitman rolls Anvil out of the ring, hits the 2nd rope knee drop for the pin. This match was solid but didn’t pick up until the 2nd half. The crowd wasn’t really with them until the 2nd half as well. I will give this a MIDDLE NOMINATION.
