[1994-10-23-WCW-Halloween Havoc] Stars & Stripes (Marcus Alexander Bagwell & The Patriot) vs Pretty Wonderful (Paul Orndorff & Paul Roma)

[cactus]

I have no idea why they decided to do this match again, considering their last outing went down like a fart at a funeral. Thankfully there is less house show high jinks and more action in this when compared to their last match. Stars & Stripes get a strong shine segment until they get cut off by the heels and they work over Bagwell for an extended period of time. Roma is incredibly agile, as he vaults up to the top rope with little effort. It's clear that they have big things in store for Bagwell by how they are putting him over on commentary. The crowd don't seem to care for him as they are firmly behind the heels. All it takes is for Orndorff to get cheered is to do a silly dance. Stars & Stripes just feel way too vanilla to get over as faces in 1994. This being WCW, this has a crap finish. After Bagwell finally gets the tag, all four men start brawling and the referee exceeds his five count, but he doesn't disqualify anyone which makes him look like an idiot. The Patriot is being dealt with by the referee and costs his partner the match, even though he had full view what was going in the ring. The audience pop huge for the heels getting the win, and I don't blame them as WCW made their faces look like morons. Solid match with a bad finish.
