[1995-07-15-SMW-TV] The Thugz vs Al Snow & Unabomb

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Solid, fast-paced TV match with a tag title change! Not worth going out of the way to see or anything, but really solid and worth watching.

 

The Rock & Roll Express cut the victory part short, upset that the Thugz got their scheduled title match. Dissension in the ranks!

So Unabomb is leaving but Snow takes the fall? That makes sense.

[El-P]

I didn't see that one coming. Some slopiness from Snow, but overall a fun little TV match.

Man, Ricky Morton is great, he comes off as slighty whiny here, just enough to not sound like a heel but still kinda heelish. Rock'n Roll vs Thugs sounds great on paper.

Ricky Morton hasn't arrived at TV yet, so the scheduled match between the Rock 'n Rolls and Snow/Unabomb is off. But Bob Armstrong says there WILL be a championship match, as promised.

 

Good TV match, with a spectacular springboard dive to the outside by Snow and a springboard legdrop by Unabomb. The THUGs take the Smoky Mountain tag belts...remember, not only was Unabomb leaving, but Snow was on his way out as well, off to the WWF with the amazingly successful Avatar gimmick. They were clearly saving Unabomb to get jobbed out by Undertaker, which is the right move.

 

I thought this was the end of Ricky Morton in SMW, but the Rock 'n Rolls crash the locker room upset about what's happened. I can totally get behind a Rock 'n Rolls heel turn, as ill-fated as it may be.
