Morton returns from the abyss and is on fire! I wish a bigger deal was made out of Morton and Gibson locking up, as there wasn't much difference in how he went after him compared to the other heels (there was, I just wish it was even MORE pronounced), but this was otherwise an excellent match. The promotion is closing shop the following day, so the finish was abrupt and unnecessary. Someone could have done a clean job. But the match was really good and had lots of fun stuff, warts at all.

Cute reveal: the THUGs bring out a guy in a black sheet and declare that Cornette will have to reveal the mystery partner for himself. Cornette opts instead to bop the guy with the tennis racket first, but when the sheet comes off it's Flash Flanagan underneath. *Then* Ricky Morton makes his entrance to run the heels off. I like how they don't dance around the Morton/Smothers issue--Morton acknowledges it, but says that getting his hands on Gibson is a bigger priority. Good match follows with a lot of the same spots we saw on TV, but Morton definitely adds some energy to the proceedings. And Gibson is really a lot better worker as a heel than as a babyface, as crazy as that sounds. Cheap non-finish that comes awfully suddenly after the hot tag, but Cornette gets his after the bell at least.
