Loss Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Last few minutes only. Eaton wins the TV title. Awesome finish, as Mark Curtis leapfrogs both guys to avoid a ref bump and Cornette hits Horner with the racket behind the ref's back.

Zero Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 AWESOME! The leapfrog set up was one of the coolest finishes I've seen so far on the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 The match seemed heavily edited on TV, probably for time constraint. Either that or they switched olds in a bizarre way. The leapfrog is clearly the highlight here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 All referees should be required to be able to do leapfrogs to avoid getting bumped. The Beat the Champ envelope the winner gets looks so paltry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Nothing to add, but the finish was indeed great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Incredible leapfrog by Brian Hildebrand over both of them, which sees Cornette slug Horner with the racket letting Eaton get the pin and win the Beat the Champ TV Title.

soup23 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Curtis is neck and neck with Nick Patrick now as the best ref spot of the 90's. Good to see Eaton win here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Horner goes for an O'Connor roll and Mark Curtis leapfrogs both men to get out of the way and as they hit the ropes Cornette cracks Horner in the head with his racket. Eaton then covers him and gets the win to be the new Beat the Champ TV champion. As others have said, tremendous leapfrog from Curtis but the match was nothing up to this moment.

garretta Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 I agree with Kevin that all refs should be required to learn leapfrogs and dropdowns to avoid being bumped, at least occasionally. When the move to get out of the way means that said ref is distracted and doesn't see the heel break the rules, that's a bonus in my book. Kudos to all involved, especially Corny for booking this finish and Hildebrand for executing it so well. Bobby must not have lasted long as champ, because he was back in WCW full-time within a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
