The body of the match was a solid nomination, but the finish made 0 sense if it didn't get an immediate DQ. Ron Garvin's shine segment was fun. Now Jimmy's was just ok. He seemed to be waiting for the MX to make him look good. Now the heat segment was top notch. They just destroyed Jimmy's Leg, and Garvin was pretty great at his selling. I liked everything about it except the finish, and would have accepted it if we got the immediate DQ.

Ric Flair is on commentary with Bob Caudle for this one. The Garvins are dominant early on with the MX being great at bumping and selling for them. Jimmy's bad left knee though was ripe for the picking and the MX once in control became obsessed with destroying the knee. Ronnie was really good at selling the struggle from the apron as Jimmy was great selling in the ring. Flair wants to get in the ring very badly and goes to Cornette wanting in as Jimmy gets the hot tag to Ronnie who starts throwing bombs on the MX then Jimmy starts fighting along with him. Ric then jumps in the ring attacking Ronnie for the DQ but Ronnie just goes nuts on him as Windham runs out to make it even. Ronnie would go behind Flair and got an O'Connor Roll with Tommy Young making the count leading to a hilarious Flair facial. The match was really good but the angle at the end puts it over the top as a nomination.
