Posted February 2, 200916 yr comment_5436997 World Class Tag Titles: Robert Fuller & Brian Lee © vs. Maniac Matt Borne & Jeff Jarrett (6/30/89) I liked the heel stooge work early by the Stable especially Lee’s reaction after doing the Nishimura headscissors spot only to be met with a punch to the face and Fuller’s reaction to Borne biting his leg which went from the ring to the floor as Lee does his best to pull him off only for Jarrett to chase him off. The heels would finally get the advantage working over Jarrett with illegal double-teams and this was good stuff as Jarrett was pretty damn solid playing the FIP. Borne got tired of this so he decided to enter the ring after a blind tag and stayed making it a 4-way brawl as referee Tony Falk did nothing about it. Lee would throw Jarrett to the floor forcing a double team but Borne would hit a cross body block on Fuller as Jarrett tripped up Lee from the floor. Jarrett would eventually hit a flying cross body block on Lee to win the titles as the crowd erupted. I liked this match more than Shoe did and I think it deserves to be on the block for consideration.

Jarrett was real good in his FIP role. The Stable was good at building the heat, and giving Jarrett enough hope spots. The hot tag was the shits for me and this just ended up not being a nomination.
March 28, 200916 yr comment_5438195 This is a borderline match for me. I liked the clean ending, and Bourne biting Fuller's leg was a great spot. But there was way too much of the ridiculously wholesome-looking Brian Lee, even though the head-scissors work early on was nice. Brian Lee could have passed for a Dynamic Dude. He reminded me of Kevin Kelly in the AWA, although some of that might have been due to the blond hair and white tights. And general lack of coordination. Where on earth was Jimmy Golden? If the Texas set is lacking in quality matches, then perhaps this should make it, but I doubt it will come to that.
March 21, 201015 yr comment_5448521 Lee was perfectly fine here, I think his performance was as strong as anyone else's. I actually really dug the hot tag/false tag subversion, as Falk tells Borne he didn't see the tag, but Borne says "fuck it" and charges in anyway. I don't get why Falk decided to let that go, otherwise I don't see anything wrong with this match, and I do see a lot of things right. I second the nomination.
