Sabu vs Tazmaniac
This was a lot better than their last encounter that was
broadcast on Hardcore TV, though still not exactly a great match. There’s still
some Sabu sloppiness, with a slip on an attempted springboard clothesline
looking poor, and the end was pretty weak. However, there were bits to enjoy
here as well. Loved Taz two big overhead suplexes, as well as a fun overhead
into a faceplant. Enjoyed Joey Styles talking about Taz being in total control
as Sabu dominates the match. Great timing. Sabu misses a pescado with a big
thump and Taz looks great catching a Stinger splash into an overhead suplex.
Then, the crappy end. Taz has Sabu down for a pin after a missed moonsault, but
decides to pick him up, which is daft in a world title match. Instead, he
decides he wants to hit a Swanton, than he unsurprisingly misses, and Sabu
picks up the win. This was perfectly fine.
Johnny Hotbody, Tony Stetson & Hunter Q Robbins III vs
The Sandman, JT Smith & Miss Peaches
Perfectly passable six-man, with the non-wrestlers wisely
kept out for the most part. The two heel wrestlers are the two best workers in
the match, which thankfully means they control the bulk of it. Loved Stetson
winding up for a big punch, only to hit a poke to the eye on Sandman, who
becomes face-in-peril. Hotbody hits a lovely looking dropkick on Sandman, and
downs him with a stiff looking clothesline. Sandman fires back and cleans
house, and Hotbody/Stetson turn on Robbins by throwing him into the ring. A low
blow from Peaches, and Robbins is done. Dug the explanation of the betrayal, as
Mr Hughes destroys the faces afterwards, and Styles mentions that his manager Jason
must have paid Hotbody & Stetson off to allow the post-match sneak attack.
