TonyPulis'Cap Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Another match that was part of Jonny and Jody's US excursion in the summer of 2002. This time, they are team mates rather than opponents. A couple of days before Spanky had beaten Storm in a singles match, also for the HWA. This tells a classic 'highflyers vs. technicians' story, with the Brits getting plenty of shine early on. Spanky and Collyer are both good bases, and them just sticking to the basics helps to keep the match flowing. In the initial exchanges, Storm and Fleisch's speed keeps their opponents on the defensive, until a cheap shot turns the tide. That then leads to a decent, if unremarkable heat segment on Jody. Fleisch is always a decent FIP where every move looks like its breaking him in half, while at the same time timing his hope spots well to keep the crowd invested. The match does break down a bit following Storm's hot tag, but the guys manage to pull things together again for an exciting closing stretch, with the crowd loving Jody's 720 DDT and shooting star press to the outside. The finish is nice with Collyer able to catch the high flyer woth a technical pin, going back to his own strengths to win the match, rather than trying to risk playing into his opponents style. This is a nice little tag match, with Fleisch and Storm winning over another US indie crowd who would not have been familiar with them coming in.
