Match #5 - Midnight Express (Eaton & Lane) v Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko

Match #6 - Demolition v Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith

Match #7 - Doom v Road Warriors

Match #8 - Rock & Roll Express v Dream Team (Valentine & Beefcake)

Match #5 - Midnight Express (Eaton & Lane) v Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko

 

- MX easily. I love the Spring Stampede '99 tag but it wouldn't be in the Top 10 best MX matches.

 

Match #6 - Demolition v Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith

 

- Owen and DBS, by default. Fuck Demolition.

 

Match #7 - Doom v Road Warriors

 

- Tough. I like Doom vs. Arn/Barry from Starrcade 90 more than any Road Warriors match but beyond that, I can't think of many other great Doom matches where as I can think of a shitload of watchable-good RW matches. Warriors.

 

Match #8 - Rock & Roll Express v Dream Team (Valentine & Beefcake)

 

- Never seen the dream team and Valentine in his prime wasn't great so past his prime, yuck. RnR without a thought.

Apologies for not being around much for this.

 

Match #5 - Midnight Express (Eaton & Lane) v Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko

 

Midnight Express. Longer run, far better matches, more numerous good matches too. Also, Eaton & Lane were arguably in their primes, while both Benoit and Malenko were on a downswing of sorts.

 

Match #6 - Demolition v Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith

 

Owen/Davey. Demolition had the more notable run, but I can watch Owen/Davey matches at ease moreso than Demolition matches.

 

Match #7 - Doom v Road Warriors

 

Road Warriors. Hawk/Animal are underrated, in my opinion, as far as tag team psychology goes and flat out drew more money. Doom, not so much so.

 

Match #8 - Rock & Roll Express v Dream Team (Valentine & Beefcake)

 

Rock & Roll Express. Both guys were in their prime, as opposed to Valentine, who was fading at this time. Beefcake was shit.

Midnight Express

Demolition

Road Warriors

Rock & Roll Express

 

I think these are all pretty straight-forward picks. Seemed to be an easy round for me.

Match #5 - Midnight Express (Eaton & Lane)

Match #6 - Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith

Match #7 - Road Warriors

Match #8 - Rock & Roll Express

Match #5 - Midnight Express (Eaton & Lane)

 

--- I expect one of the MX teams to be on tops when all is said and done. I still haven't decided which one but either one would be choice.

 

Match #6 - Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith

 

--- I never liked Demolition so this makes it a little easier.

 

Match #7 - Road Warriors

 

--- I really wanted to vote for Doom but not above LOD.

 

Match #8 - Rock & Roll Express

 

--- Another team that should be near the finals (but not quite) when all is said and done.
