This is a Low-End Nomination. This was in studio, 22+ , and 2 commercials. We start out with some quick move counter move with Gibson looking great. Morton gets in on the action and he's shined up by the MX. Eventually, Gibson is back in and I think his FIP here is better than Morton's later. Condrey and Eaton do a great job focusing on Gibson's leg. We go to commercial break and they show the hot tag to Morton. Morton is great with his jumping punches. This is short lived and Morton goes FIP. He takes a racket shot to the throat. They go after the throat for a bit. Hot tag to the finish which is typical B.S. Dusty is out to help and Bubba splashes him on top of Morton for good measure.This was solid, and told a story but lacked a zip to it.

Dusty is doing color with Schiavone here but is there mainly to watch out for Big Bubba Rogers. This is your standard solid match between these teams but I really dug Gibson here as his FIP section was better than Morton's which is no slight to him plus he had some fire on offense. MX were ruthless here on offense just tearing the RnR apart before the grand comeback takes place. Pee Wee Anderson gets bumped and Condrey hits Gibson with a tennis racket then pins him but Eaton was the legal guy which Dusty pointed out. A big brawl then took place with Dusty & Bubba involved and Dusty hit a big splash off the top rope on Dusty who was covering Morton. This was really solid stuff but for these teams it doesn't compare with their other classics. Low-end nomination is the right call.
