FLIK Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Glad this ended up making the set. Always thought it was a really good match that for whatever reason never got pimped much. Great performance from the Gunns I thought, maked out huge for their double team stuff back then, Kidd & Holly were good too. Random aside, I always liked Shawn's anouncing work he was doing on RAW and for whatever reason him yelling out to one of the Gunns during this match"COVER HIM YOU REXOL RANGER" I found insanley amusing. some 16 or so years later I still don't even know WTF a rexol ranger is either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Why is the top heel also the color guy? They should have stuck with Kid and Holly as a team. They were pretty over with the live crowd after the title win, were putting together some nice double team spots (double superplex!) and Kid seemed to raise Holly's game. The Billy/The Kid (See what I did there?) slugfest near the end is great. Not really a classic or anything, but I do like this better than the match the night before, which says a lot, because babyface vs babyface tag matches are a little limited. The Gunns got a lot of crap, but they were a perfectly fine tag team. They worked hard and had some pretty good offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 They ran through a multitude of guest commentators after Heenan left--Johnny Polo, the Quebecers, Bastion Booger of all people...Shawn was one and seemed to fit the role best, so he stuck around for a bit. Lawler was likely unwilling to miss a MSC show every few weeks. Savage was back on the road going around the horn with Crush, which may have been logistically problematic. With the WWF trying to cut costs on flying people in, which is what led to Heenan's departure, their options may have been pretty limited.

Tim Evans Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Not a bad match at all. Gunns surprised me by being able to hang with the kid. Was the plan for the Gunns to win the title at Rumble before Billy got hurt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIK Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yeah, Holly & Kid were their replacements in the tournament so it was supposed to be the Gunns getting it from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm not sure what exactly the logic was behind this booking--the Gunns were taken out of the tournament by choice, not because of injury--but this is a fine match. And it's worked between four guys who want to win at any cost, which is the best kind of babyface match. Lots of nifty double-teams here, particularly from the Gunns. The gimmick was cheesy but their work is perfectly acceptable. Both of them are better than Tatanka, but not as good as Bigelow, so in the end I think I liked the Rumble match slightly better.

Calvin Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 This is for 1-2-3 Kid & Bob Holly's WWF Tag Team Championship. I don't think this needed twenty minutes, but whatever. Kid looks amazing, as usual, and the Gunns were better than expected. **3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
