This says 29 minutes so these guys are going to get some time. The Grapplers are also the DWB's. A fun shine by the faces with quick tags. Faces are great at keeping the heels off balance. I'm marking out how the faces are using the headlock in a super effective way. Morton with an awesome atomic drop. Double drop kicks, hell yeah. Love Boesch teasing the loaded boot on commentary. Loving the Grappler's shining up the faces. Grapplers cut off Tiger, but is able to tag in Morton who misses a dropkick and the Grapplers start to work him over. Specifically the shoulder. The Grapplers heat segment is really focused. Tiger is good on the outside. Loved the heel switcheroo draws some heat. Morton'n fight is great, but his FIP work is the tops. Loved the set up to the hot tag, and then the hot tag. A real fun finish to the 1st. This was an awesome 1st fall.

 

The 2nd fall starts. They pick up perfectly and go after the neck after winning the 1st fall with a Hart Attack. The Grappler's psychology is so good here. Working a headlock to further hurt the neck. Also to take the crowd down a bit. Morton with a great cross body for a great nearfall. The faces get the equalizer.

 

The 3rd fall The faces get back to basics with quick tags. I loved how Tiger's headbutts were great than the Grapplers. Faces lighting them up with . I loved the finish since it was teased earlier .

 

Final Thoughts.

I thought the 1st fall was absolutely great tag wrestling. The layout, the psychology, the selling. It was right on point. The match felt a little long, but these guys did a great job filling the time. I liked how in a throw away line Boesch gave us the finish. 4 1/4*
