Disco tells Stevie he is bombing tonight so he is helping out on commentary. Action is good with Rey and Juvy knowing how to bump around for the two slugs in the Harris Brothers. They are able to make their offense look impactful and powerful with their bumps. Train face full of stuff spot as Tygress and Rey both hit it but Juvy gets booted in the nuts. Kronik comes out and runs interference allowing the Animals to steal the win to a good reaction. *1/2

Konan has got some ridiculous looking pants on. ‘The Animals’ look to try and use their speed advantage over their much larger opponents, with Juvi launching Rey into a dropkick on one of the twins. Springboard dropkick by Juvi, but when Rey goes for the springboard rana, Heavy D catches and then plants him with a powerbomb. Big Ron unloads on Rey in the corner, whipping him chest first into the opposite one. Huge powerslam, although he doesn’t even bother with a cover. Modified sit-out powerbomb, now he does, but Juvi is in to break up the pin. Rey ducks under a big boot and is able to make the tag. Springboard spinning heel kick, ten punch spot in the corner, however Ron just lifts Juvi up and crotches him on the top rope. Quality spinning side slam (what would late become Abyss’ ‘Black Hole Slam’) and now Rey is the one saving his partner. As Heavy D looks to drop Juvi on the top turnbuckle ‘snake eyes’ style, ‘the Juice’, slides down his back and shoves him chest first into the corner. Springboard bulldog and the tag to Rey. He puts the boots to Don, before Tygress is in for ‘a face full of stuff’. This looks only slightly better than when she did it against 3 Count on Worldwide, but at least the ref is pre-occupied with Big Ron and not just watching this happen in front of his eyes. Rey joins Tygress for another ‘face full of stuff’, however when Juvi tries to get it on the action Don raises a foot which he goes flying groin first into. Kronik are out and make light work of Disco, who Konan had sent to stop them from attacking Rey and Juvi. Big Ron drags Rey to the outside and drops him throat first across the guard rail, before being hit around the back of the head with a baseball bat by Bryan Clark. Clark rolls Ron back into the ring, Brian Adams then presses Rey overhead and throws him back in, only for him to land on top of Ron. Both men are out of it, but the ref sees Rey on top and counts the pin.

 

Probably the most subdued crowd reaction we’ve seen to Rey and Juvi so far, although I’ll attribute that to the Harris Twins. I was expecting a title change here, so was surprised by the ending in that respect. Typical ‘Filthy Animals’ fare when they are in there with larger opposition, as they fly around and bump huge for their opponents.

Ron and Don Harris come across better here getting to throw around two little guys. The contrast at least makes the match a little more interesting as they methodically break down Rey and Juvy until Kronik comes out and leads to the finish. I am not salivating over the prospect of Kronik and the Harris brothers locking it up. Also, the Kronik t-shirts that they wore to the ring are so impossibly bland and awful.

 

*1/4
