Posted November 27, 200717 yr comment_5424591 Man I couldn't disagree with Kris more. Sure this was a formula match on the R+R's part, but Rock and Roll formula is so much better then Fantastics formula. Plus you had the Freebirds busting out insane looking offense for 85, German suplexes, diving knees, huge clotheslines. I mean this was almost what a Steiners v. Rock and Roll match would have looked like. Plus that finish was fucking sick, as Gordy basically ganso bombs Gibson, sure as fuck looked like a finish to me. Totally blew away the MX v. Fans match, and I think this is a slam dunk level nomination
November 27, 200717 yr comment_5424594 I guess the thing is was that for an RnR match it didn't hold up as good against the other ones. Birds were great here but the RnR didn't look as good as they did against MX, DWB, Guerreros. It's on you Will.
November 27, 200717 yr Author comment_5424595 I like it better then some of the lesser MX matches, also it is really different in a very cool way
November 27, 200717 yr comment_5424596 The finish didn't help either as Gibson landed more on the knees than the mat but that can be chalked up to not working the Birds often. I think this may have been the 2nd time they were ever in a match together with Hayes & Roberts as the other known one not counting the 4-way.

Dude that finish was nasty looking, that was as sick as any of the Taras Bulba piledrivers. It adds, not subtracts to the match
November 30, 200717 yr comment_5424687 At times this felt more like a JCP RnR match than the Midsouth ones as during the FIP section you almost didn't think the RNR stood a chance at all. That said I liked this alot as both faces got time eating stuff and trying to make saves and Terry gordy was just a destructive force. I'm not exactly sure what Kris thought was wrong with the way Gibson ate the finish as it looked like he was practically ganso bombed. Awkwardly eating a powerbomb onto Gordys knees to wear it looked like a completely unprotected headdrop I thought made for a crazy dramatic finish. No way can he get saved now.
December 17, 200717 yr comment_5425511 Goint with Tom and Phil on this one in that it should be considered and added to the set. The finish didn't really mean anything to me except that there was no way Gibson was getting up. However, Buddy Roberts was gold in this.
