[2000-12-09-MCW-TV] American Dragon & Spanky vs Seven (Handicap)

[Edwin]

Talk about it here.

Debra is now the Lieutenant Commissioner of MCW (whatever that means), something David Jett isn’t overly impressed by. Title match for the MCW tag belts, and after the ‘Kliq 2000’ make their entrance the camera cuts to the dressing room to see The Dupps laying out ‘The Triad’, although the attack on Thrash (Glen Ruth) happens behind the dressing room door and out of view.

 

The match commences after the commercial break and Seven is forced to go it alone as Thrasher is unable to compete due to the earlier attack by The Dupps. Action is joined in progress right as Seven, who is heavily favouring his ribs which were injured in the same attack, misses an elbow off the middle as Dragon moves out the way. Combination drop toe hold/baseball slide dropkick by ‘the Kliq’. Spanky dropkicks Seven in the back, however he’s able to reverse the Irish whip and Spanky runs face first into his big boot. Vertical suplex, but Dragon is in and kicks Seven in the back of the head allowing Spanky to counter into a DDT. The ref doesn’t even attempt to try and get Dragon out of there and after a pair of frog splashes from opposite corners we have new tag team champions.

 

I guess Glen Ruth no showed or, more likely, is no longer in the WWF and this was a damage limitations job and a case of getting the belts away from ‘The Triad’ asap. Seven did an admiral job at selling the ribs throughout and Spanky and Dragon should work as the team to build your tag division around although this did nothing for me. Maybe it was Seven’s limitations, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up as one of those days.

Seven is laid out by the Dupps before the match. Seven guts it out but is hurting. “PAYBACK SUCKS.” Seven has a few moments of offense but overall this is mainly a squash and Dragon/Spanky win the belts in 4 minutes with a combo frog splashes. ½*
