Posted June 3, 201015 yr comment_5451572 Iceman Parsons vs. John Tatum (Fort Worth) - Tatum plays his chicken shit game early, teasing a punching match with Ice only to bail. I don’t mind stalling and Tatum (along with trying to please Missy) is one of the best at it. Tatum’s juking and jiving is cracking me up. Just the threat of Ice punching him sends Tatum reeling. So the first 5 minutes are Tatum posing and running and Ice threatening to punch him… and it is all good. When Tatum gets punched, Missy throws a tantrum. This reminds me of the Rude-Savage match I nominated for the Memphis set, where the match was more about shtick than about movement. However, if you are a Tatum or Ice fan then you will enjoy this match. Ice has Tatum pinned but Missy interferes. As Ice is looking at Missy, Tatum comes from behind and Ice levels him. Great stuff. Ice chases Missy on the outside, gets nailed by Tatum on the way in and Tatum gets the three even though Ice had his leg on the rope. However, Missy gets her way by pushing Ice’s leg off the rope. I could see people shitting on this match but fuck them… this ruled. Nomination. McAdam 2151 Disc 1

Speaking of being great heels, here is Tatum selling like crazy using great facials and taking good bumps with Missy being Missy. Iceman would have Tatum beat on a couple of occassions but Missy would break it up forcing Iceman to chase her around the ring but when he comes back in, Tatum catches him with a shot and pins him with Missy knocking his foot off the rope. Great performance by Tatum but not a nomination.
