[2001-10-21-WWF-No Mercy] Test vs Kane

[KawadaSmile]

Surprisingly great match. Both big guys don't even wait for the bell to ring before they start trading blows. It plays out like a true heavyweight match would, with big bombs and big punches, and I found it surprising that this never really had any downtime at all.

 

The story to this match that WCW referee Nick Patrick was in cahoots with Test, as he was a member of the Alliance, served for some interesting drama too. The crowd were totally into the nearfalls, with Kane kicking out of some of Test's moves being put over huge by Jim Ross.

 

All in all, a relatively short (just a little over 10 minutes), fast paced and sweet match between two big guys. Good stuff.

I remember Dave putting every single match on this show at *** or better, this one included, and that raising some eyebrows, but I'm glad this holds up.
