[2005-01-07-FIP-New Year's Classic] James Gibson vs Homicide

[ohtani's jacket]

I am slowly learning that there's more to Jaime Noble than Rey Mysterio matches. This was a fun match between two evenly matched guys. I'm already on record as saying I prefer workrate Homicide to brawler Homicide, and Noble is an excellent opponent for Homicide in that respect. Unfortunately, the match gets interrupted by CM Punk, but that leads to a memorable "backstage" scene where Homicide beats Punk up while he's straddled on a bucking bronco ride then turns the machine on. Punk goes flying everywhere. That would have been a great spot in a Memphis match or one of Black Terry's Arena Naucalpan brawls.
