This is an expiration of time match which gets a bunch of time. Lots of good Billy Travis and high bumping Pat Tanaka, and this was the best I have seen Carl Fergie look. Deserves a rewatch from Kris and Will

 

Lynch 24.1

Diamond, Tanaka & Fergie vs. Jarrett, Travis & Smothers

- First fall is mainly a chance to let the faces shine. However, as Smothers was going to roll up Fergie off the ropes, Brickhouse Brown knocked him out to take the first fall. Fergie plays bumping stooging heel just fine. All of the faces take turns abusing him in the 2nd fall and the crowd is loving this match. Later on in the fall, Travis plays FIP but it turns into a free for all and Smothers pins Fergie off an assisted sunset flip after Jarrett clotheslined him over. While the 1st fall ended abruptly, the 2ndd fall took its time and this match moved into nomination territory.

 

On 2nd viewing, this definitely goes forward, if only because I am immune to these Expiration of Time matches. Phil and I were talking and this will probably be one of the biggest complaints about this set but what can you do.

2 out of 3 falls: Jeff Jarrett, Tracy Smothers, & Jeff Jarrett vs. Badd Company (Paul Diamond & Pat Tanaka) & King Carl Fergie (8/29/87)

 

Good action in the 1st fall as the faces show good teamwork and quickness in the ring especially Jarrett & Smothers with their armdrags. The finish of the fall was iffy as Smothers went to put Fergie in an O’Connor Roll and Brick was late hitting him with the chain but it went down and Fergie got the win. The 2nd fall also features some good back and forth action featuring Fergie taking a great bump on a headscissors by Smothers but the heels would eventually get the advantage on Travis who sells good. Smothers gets the hot tag and a brawl breaks out with Smothers eventually getting revenge on Fergie with help from Jarrett. There is no 3rd fall but the two we have is very good and it’s a maybe nomination for me.

 

Rewatching it again and I'll cosign for moving it forward as it should go into play for debate.
