The Naturals vs AMW vs XXX (TNA tag team title match - 09/01/04)

 

It's really hard to have a good triple threat non-elimination match, much less a real good one. This was a success, thanks to three things : there was no overscripted cutesy spots; there was a storyline of James Storm being badly injured which allowed time for some actual classic tag team action with Naturals taking over for a while; the finish was excellent and played into both Storm's injury and the fact the Naturals are sneaky bastards who steal victories. Plus, the work from most guys, especially Daniels & AMW, was super solid, Primetime (yeah, Skipper is only going by Brian Lee's nickname now) delivering some cool action sequences and the Naturals being very good at being sneaky (like at one point Chase Stevens just throws a little petty kick from outside to James' injured back, which gets Harris into an offensive rage as he beats the crap out of him). This is coming after weeks of good TV matches between AMW & XXX and a pretty good AMW vs Naturals feud which culminated in a cage match. At this point, if AMW had worked anywhere but TNA, they would be pimped much more than they are. Really an underrated team that is better than a number of more "classic" WWF teams. TNA should deserve way more attention. This was a damn good triple threat match, which is a rarity in itself. And yeah, that finish was perfect.
