Posted December 9, 201213 yr comment_5522036 This is for the Fantastic's U.S tag team titles. Cornette is on commentary so you can see where this might go. Watching Ivan do rope running spots with the Fantastics was really fun, and kinda shocking how quick he is at this point in the game. The whole opening face shine was well done. The cut off of the faces was pretty good. The heat segment could have been better, but it wasn't bad. Warlord showed some athleticism in this bout. I loved how he just picked up Fulton in the arm bar spot. The finishing run was good too, up to the finish that we all know is coming. I wish we had tag teams now in wrestling where a vet could be teamed with a youngster and learn from the vet how to work. Again another low- end nomination.

Warlord comes in and the mood changes as Tommy Rogers starts taking punishment both inside and outside the ring with Cornette serving as a distraction as well. The crowd was definitely helping Rogers while he was FIP and the heels did a pretty good job of working him over. Fulton would get the hot tag and he ran wild but the action would break down as Tommy Young was with Warlord & Rogers on the floor and as Ivan had Fulton pinned, Cornette came in to make the 3 count for the DQ. The Fants attacked Cornette afterwards until the MX ran out. I thought this was a fun match and Rogers was really good as FIP but I don't think there is enough for a nomination.
