Midnight Express vs. The Fantastics - Hell, this may be the best Fans-MX matchup available from any company. The brawling and out of control action is what the Sheeps series is hyped up to be but this actually delivered. In the ring, great double teaming from both teams, Rogers FIP, Cornette playing the pest, great post-match even with the screwy finish. The only thing this was missing was some blood. Easy nomination.

This was one hell of a match and the start of their feud in JCP. The MX start by shining up the Fantastics. They're great at incooperating comedy spots in the shine here. I love Ross referring to The Fants as a fast break team. The faces used the arm as a base to work spots around it. Rogers does a leap frog over Eaton into a Lane savat kick. Now we get the heat on Rogers. This was excellent. We get a hot tag. Fulton is on fire, but gets cut off and now Fulton gets a shot at FIP and this is done well too. We get a real great stretch run that ends with a Rocket Launcher for a great moment.

GOD the Fantastics were a breath of fresh air in this promotion as they were perfect opponents for this edition of the MX. This is an all-out brawl that goes all over the ring with Fulton smacking Eaton with a chair on the floor as Rogers takes care of Lane in the ring. This is like a fucking Memphis brawl as it is total chaos with chairs and tables flying around. Rogers would get taken out by the MX high-low double team move and now the match settles down with the MX in full control. Fulton is great working the apron here keeping the fans going for Tommy as the MX just tear him up. Everything about this was so good like when Rogers got a desperation sunset flip on Lane but Pee Wee Anderson couldn't see it and the fans were just going crazy. Rogers taking bumps in the ring, out of the ring, on tables, on the floor he was just insane here. Rogers would get the hot tag but Pee Wee never saw it and Fulton came in anyway with Cornette also in the ring and the tennis racquet was used but on the MX. Fulton would use the Rocket Launcher with Rogers on Eaton after Pee Wee got thrown over the top rope so Tommy Young ran out to make the count giving the Fants the win. Pee Wee though got back in the ring and called for the DQ which is funny since Young was on the other side of this finish and the MX/Corny just destroyed the Fants afterwards. Fulton got strapped like hell before Rogers ran them off with a chair. Everything about this match was fucking awesome and different than other tag matches you saw in JCP at this time. God damn I loved this and this is a grand slam nomination.
