Posted April 15, 200916 yr comment_5438512 Sweet Brown Sugar (Skip Young) & “Bruiser” Bob Sweetan vs. “Hangman” Bobby Jaggers & Luke Williams (7/4/83) This is a good long match from Hemisfair Arena although we do miss the first couple of minutes. This was a hard-hitting match with Jaggers being beaten bloody after being piledriven on the floor by Sweetan. Luke then turned on Jaggers refusing to tag back into the ring and blamed Jaggers for the loss after the match followed up by pounding him with the flagpole. Damn good match and this goes on the block with the angle in the end really making it strong.
May 16, 200916 yr comment_5439556 Jaggers/Luke v Sugar/Sweetan This was a good tag that got a lot of time to develope. I thought Sweetan was ggod in his rugged FIP role. Sugar looked smooth. Plus we got a neat angle with Luke and Jaggers. I liked the stooge spots from the heels. Nomination.

I know it's setting up an angle where the Sheeps turn on Jaggers, but at this point, it just looks like heel Williams is weathering a beating from the faces when he can't tag out to Jaggers, and heel Jaggers is doing the same when Williams - who has been beaten down pretty badly - won't tag back in. I know the later angle explains this all away, and you could rightfully argue that it's the least these guys deserve after they had Embry in the same situation a month earlier, but devoid of context, it has much the same effect that the Embry match did: you rally behind the heels (Jaggers moreso than Williams) because they're weathering a beating that they can't escape from (well, that Luke escapes from with great difficulty, but still). But all of this aside, the body of the match is strong enough that I can overlook the questionable-without-context booking of the finish. Kris, was this immediately followed by Luke beating down Jaggers with the flagpole? Because the copy of the match I'm watching doesn't show that, but if that's the case, it would go a long way in making the finish seem right, and that's the version of the match that should go on. Either way, this moves forward. EDIT: I answer my own question as the breakup takes place right after the commercial break.
