Posted October 28, 200816 yr comment_5435407 American Tag Titles: The Midnight Express (“Loverboy” Dennis Condrey & “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton) © vs. The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) (3/8/85) The fans really hate Cornette here which just adds to the great heat in this match. Rogers again starts the match and stays in quite a while before tagging in Fulton who would continue putting the pressure on the MX who were so great at being heels doing the subtle things that gets these matches over so well. Great selling and bumping for the Fants’ double-team moves along with their singular moves. Cornette is so great as well on the floor selling for the Fants as well as he won’t shut up promising to kill Bobby Fulton one day. Condrey nearly murders Rogers with a clothesline which would start the MX control section where Rogers eats some big moves like an Eaton backbreaker/powerslam combo that was hard hitting. Rogers as usual is an awesome FIP with the fans basically crying for him to make the tag to Fulton but the MX being the great heels they are just cut him off at every chance he gets. Fulton would finally get the hot tag and the 4-way brawl is on although Fulton would take a tennis racket shot by Cornette but he would kick out of the pinfall attempt by Eaton. Fulton would counter with an O’Connor Roll on Eaton prompting Cornette to come in the ring again hitting him with the tennis racket again in front of David Manning for the DQ. Another great match between these teams and a easy nomination.

All of the stuff the 4 wrestlers did in the ring got over. That backbreaker/power slam spot Eaton does to Rogers is sick. Both teams double team stuff was off the hook. Another killer match in this feud and a nomination.
February 10, 201015 yr comment_5447733 Normally, I'd complain that the Fantastics' comeback at the end was a little too short for my liking, but I practically jumped out of my seat when Rogers kicked out of the O'Connor roll after getting hit with the tennis racket, and the body of the match was great, so that's really just nitpicking here. This moves forward.
