GSR Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Stipulations in place for this one are that the winner goes onto referee the Kevin Nash vs Buff Bagwell main event; a match Nash must win if he wants a World title shot at Superbrawl Revenge. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Luger so happy, that grin permanently etched to his face. There’s a fair bit of overselling going on from ‘the Package’ here. DDP with a DDT. Discus lariat and Lex goes down like a felled tree. Luger stops Page’s momentum with a mule kick. Belly to back. He’s not broken a sweat yet, and that’s down to his lack of effort as opposed his cardio. After driving a boot into DDP’s throat, Page pulls himself up by the ropes and makes his comeback. More OTT selling and then some blatant foot stomping as DDP repeatedly slams his head into the turnbuckle. Top rope clothesline. Page doesn’t make the cover though, preferring to finish things with the ‘Diamond Cutter’. As he gives the sign for it he accidentally elbows the referee in the chest. With the official selling that, Jeff Jarrett is out and breaks a guitar over Page’s head. The ref apparently didn’t see any of that. Did he not see the broken bits of wood in the ring or wonder what Jarrett was now doing out there either? Lex then lifts a groggy Page up in the ‘Torture Rack’ for the submission. He and ‘Double J’ celebrate the win as it appears their plan is paying off. Luger was awful, every bit as bad as Sid at Sin, and dragged Page down to his level. More screwjobs and shenanigans at the finish, and I’m not holding out hope for anything clean come the main event either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Everything was done well here in this match. In some ways, it is about the best possibility for Luger given his terrible physical determination. His body is betraying him rapidly and his attitude isn’t helping in the latter stages of his career but he seems to give a damn on this night, so the match is fine overall and the psychology is sound. There is a great moment in Flair’s opening promo when he announced Alex Wright as the #1 contender and Luger does the Das Wunderkid dance. Finish here was predictable bullshit but Jarrett actually hits a good guitar shot that shatters leading right into the torture rack. **1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
