Posted October 1, 201411 yr comment_5630457 This was just a lot of fun except for the poor finish. Orton was bumping and stooging big for Haynes. Orton took some really great bumps throughout the match. Haynes worked the arm and did spots around it. Orton would focus on the shoulder and arm. Jimmy Hart even got in on the action and took a couple of bumps and hammed it up with Orton.

Orton is doing the stalling and stooging shtick but it seems faster paced. Great spot where Orton and hart are talking, Billy reaches down and noggin knocks them. While back in the ring during a test of strength, Jimmy Hart cuts a promo to the announce team. Billy jack works tan arm bar, Orton jumps over the rope and Billy yanks him right back in and then leg drops the arm. Awesome. Man, despite Orton stalling, Haynes is really attacking the arm. This is so much more fast paced than Boston. Orton turns the tide with Hart’s distraction. He wraps a rope around Haynes’ throat and chokes him. Orton’s solid offense can’t put Billy away. Haynes makes the comeback and the crowd is fired up. He hooks in the full nelson but Orton immediately sends both guys outside. Both guys counted out but this match was a war. SOLID NOMINATION. Trim 5 minutes and some rest holds from the last match and you get a much better fight.
