About eight minutes or so of this was shown. No clue how much there was in full, but I must have had my head up my ass because I didn't even catch the clip. As a match, this was good, but not great. The strength of this was in the way the heat was built as the Starr's worked very simple holds and cut off the ring on Invader to great effect. I am a mark for that sort of stuff, but still would have liked to see some of the trademark Ron Starr offense. Even still the hope spots during all of that were really well done and Invader was excellent working underneath which is a consistent strength of his. The hot tag was well timed and Perez came in nuts which helped set up the really awesome angle. It's crazy because I saw the white hood and thought Medico and was briefly confused, but man the angle is really good, and Invader's blade job is epic. I'd say this is worth a nomination as I doubt there are more than four minutes missing and the heat in this was really strong.

The heels take turns working over Perez to start until Invader tags in which would immediately get clipped to Invader working FIP. God I hate clipping. Invader was good here as FIP as he had some nice hope spot nearfalls and the heels did basic but effective work. Perez would get the hot tag and ran wild on the heels before the 4-way brawl would break out and the crowd was going nuts here. Invader would slug the referee before Perez would lock on the sleeper on Ron which would bring out White Knight who attacked him with a board. Perez would get up and saw Invader with the stick in his hand and was pissed off so he attacked Invader and broke the board over his head with Invader juicing heavily. Good match that would've been better without the clipping with a hot angle at the end. We need this angle as an extra if we can't find a full version of the match.
