[2000-10-09-WWF-Raw] Matt & Jeff Hardy vs Lo Down (Chaz & D-Lo Brown)

[soup23]

This is the biggest spot for the short lived Low Down tag team. Their gear is positively horrid. After the initial attack, Matt and Jeff take over in control. D Lo takes over on Matt by sending him into the guardrail on the outside. Lawler is actually doing good at making Low Down feel credible on commentary. D Lo and Chaz tag in and out and keep things fresh working over Matt even though there isn’t a specific focal point. Tide turns with Lita tripping Chaz and crotching him across the post. Hot tag is made to Jeff then. Hardy’s run through their big offense and Jeff ascends to the top when the Conquistadors show up and knock him off. This allows Low Down to hit the superplex, frog splash combo but Chaz doesn’t get out of the ring and Matt is able to come in for a splash and the win. Low Down attacks after the match with the tag titles. Good showing for Low Down here. **1/2

Lita is holding her ribs as she accompanies the champions, a result of her Hardcore match with Jackie.  A big opportunity for Lo Down here, not only as they’re getting a shot against the Tag Team champions, but also it’s a rare appearance on Raw for them too.  The Hardy Boyz with a double legdrop on Chaz, Matt dropping his from the second turnbuckle.  D-Lo is in to try and help his partner but gets beaten to the floor.   Chaz gets backdropped over the top rope to the outside and Matt then nails him with a clothesline off the apron.  He throws him back into the ring, however as he goes to get back in himself he’s snatched by D-Lo who flapjacks him onto the barricade.  JR describes Lo Down as “fundamentally sound” I think that’s code for solid workers, not much charisma.  D-Lo with a spinebuster for a near fall.  Matt catches Chaz with a sunset flip for a two count but he cuts off any potential comeback with a clothesline as he and D-Lo go about double teaming him.  A safer looking version of the ‘Burning Hammer’ and Jeff is taking no chances, in there to break up the count.  Chaz misses a legdrop although very smartly then elbows Jeff off the apron as it looked like Matt was finally going to make the tag.  As the referee checks on Matt, Lita trips Chaz from ringside and posts him.  This time the tag is made and Jeff runs wild on D-Lo.  Matt quickly finds a second wind and teams up with his brother for a pair of ‘Poetry in Motions’.  Jeff climbs to the top for the ‘Swanton bomb’ when the Conquistadores run out and push him off the top turnbuckle as he takes a wild bump all the way to the floor.  Lo Down hit their ‘Suicidepex’/frog splash finisher, but as ‘Blind’ Mike Chioda lives up to his name in trying to get Chaz out of there, Matt with a guillotine legdrop to the back of D-Lo’s neck and Jeff rolls on top for the three.  Chaz clocks Matt with one of the titles post-match leaving the champs laying and Lo Down looking strong.
