Talk about it here.

The FBI are supposed to face the Blue Meanie and Supernova but attack them and lay them out before the bell. Axl & Balls come out and this starts as a crazy brawl before settling into a pretty solid traditional Southern tag. Tommy Rich should forever work in wrestling as a second.

This is nothing that will be on my top 100 but was a lot of fun. Meanie was a bloody mess with the chairshots and escorted to the back. I also loved the FBI tribute to the recently passed Frank Sinatra by dancing to New York New York. The tag match breaks into a little strutcture and is a lot of fun while it lasts with Smothers in particular working hard and the Big Don being great as usual. Good undercard stuff. (**1/2)

The FBI pay a touching tribute to Ol' Blue Eyes by beating Nova & Meanie into a bloody pulp, with a sick blade job from Meanie. Rich appoints them the *new* Chairmen of the Board. It's getting a little dusty in here. Balls & Axl come out to take the place of the babyfaces and we get a decent southern tag opening-style match. Rich is the highlight, doing two hot moves from the apron into the guardrail, one as interference and one as a payback spot.

Loved the blooding of Meanie and Nova. I can't buy Axl and Balls as working from underneath as I have no sympathy for them. Axl is the complete shits and Smothers is fantastic. Rich was the highlight.
