[2001-01-13-OVW-TV] Brock Lesnar & Shelton Benjamin vs Sean Casey & Chris Michaels

Sean Casey & Chris Michaels are managed by (former?) heel referee Phil Fair.   I could do with less officials going at in 2001 compared with last.  Michaels tries to use his speed and experience advantage over Lesnar but it’s not long before he’s getting muscled about.  As he goes to tag out, Casey wants no part, however foolishly he turns his back on his partner and Michaels tags him anyway.  The two exchange words, Michaels giving Casey a shove into a Lesnar boot.  Big powerslam for a two count.  Shelton with a spinning kick that barely connects, if at all.  Michaels knees him in the back as he hits the ropes before clotheslining him across the top rope.  Reverse neckbreaker quickly followed by a spinebuster as the heels get a couple of close near falls.  Shelton avoids the elbow off the top and makes the tag.  Lesnar presses Michaels overhead, managing it at about the third attempt, despite Michaels doing his best to jump up for it.  The match breaks down with all four men in the ring.  Nice belly to belly from Brock.  Fair is up on the apron and Brock goes over and grabs him.  He cocks his hand ready for a punch, but is clearly delaying it.  What he was waiting for was for Fair to powder him, although their timings were way off on the spot.  Referee Robert Brisco saw what happened though and calls for the bell, the Stretching Crew picking up the win via disqualification.  As the heels continue to put the boots in, the Suicide Blondes of Jason Lee & Derrick King make the save and clear them from the ring.

Still early in their careers, but not the best of outings for the Stretching Crew;  Shelton with the spin kick that misses, Brock’s struggles on the press slam and that bad looking finish involving Fair.

Brock starts off and just beats the shit out of Casey and Michaels. Shelton gets the tag and blows pretty badly and spinning kick.  Heat is given on Benjamin for a bit after some cheating. That only lasts a minute and Brock is tagged in.  Belly to belly from Brock. Brock gets powder thrown into his eyes and then an awful low blow. Jason Lee and Derrick King come in to help out. Cornette says you thought you would never see it. I don’t know, we see a run in in OVW EVERY FUCKING MATCH. This was cool to see Minnesota Stretching Crew and in this quick five minute match, Brock looked to have it more put together than Shelton. ¾*
