First fall had some shine, and Lawler and Dundee cleaning house with punches is as fun as you'd expect, but was mostly Freebirds double teaming before getting the pin. Loved Lawler's face stomp that almost broke the pin, it looked brutal. Second fall had more Freebirds working over Dundee, constantly working, lots of punches, gut kicks, knee drops and elbow drops, all of them nice and snug. The comeback was great, though it does stick out how bad Lawler's downward punches after a Snapmare look when everything else he does looks so great. Third fall has some nice back and forth action, I loved the spot where Dundee cornered, urgh, one of the Freebirds and he tried to run away from Dundee by running the ropes as well as the Freebirds buying time by going out of the ring. What really puts it over the top is the amazing post-match brawl, things completely disintegrate, no one can do chaotic brawls quite like Memphis. It's not just that the action is great and they find natural and logical ways of working something like a chairshot in in a way that it would be used in a fight, the production and the time running out also add genuineness to the whole thing. ***1/2
