Nice to see Dragon against someone besides Youth and Spanky. Shooter looked good for himself in the four minute match. Again, Dragon is already really strong in having a short match that contains enough action and story to keep you entertained. Tons of suplexes and strikes from Dragon and he hits the big elbow from the top rope. Fabulous Rocker comes out to distract Dragon and that allows Shultz to get the Full Nelson clutch for the tap out victory. That is a neat finisher and Shooter Shultz can put this tap out on his wrestling resume. *1/4

A tight match with enough of a little story to come off really well. Dragon is really sharp here and busts out a spinning fisherman suplex along with some cool armdrags. He got great lift on his elbow drop from the top and the thing is he's credible as a quicker guy as well as a technician so he has a lot to draw from in working a comeback. I also liked his little teases of a comeback. Shooter looked capable and threw some nice suplexes before using his full nelson camel clutch finisher.

 

*3/4

Lightning fast shoulder tackle, drop down, leap frog and drop down ending with a picture perfect Dragon dropkick. Arm drag take down, from where he transitions to an arm lock submission. Schultz forces the break with some forearms to the face and although Dragon blocks the hip toss, not so the side slam. Belly to belly as David Jett refers to him as the ‘Master of the Suplexes’. Just to reinforce that he follows up with a Butterfly suplex. Dragon escapes the attempted German and hits a twisting Fisherman’s to show that he’s not too shabby in the suplex department either. Running forearm smash in the corner and an elbow off the top for two. Fabulous Rocker heads out to ringside enabling Schultz to catch Dragon with a release German suplex while he’s distracted by him. ‘Shooter Clutch’ (which is a combination full nelson/camel clutch), and Dragon taps.

 

This shows Schultz in a much more positive light after that disastrous run in during the Shawn Michaels/Venom match from the TWA back in April. You can tell that he and Dragon came up together with how quick and on point that opening section was. The match only goes about four minutes but I enjoyed it and wonder why Schultz never did anything after this WWF developmental run. He doesn’t look out of place in the ring with Dragon, and I can’t see any reason why he couldn’t have mirrored what Danielson ended up doing on the Indies. Dragon continues to pull out those new suplex variations and that ‘Shooter Clutch’ looks legitimately painful the point I wonder why no-one has stolen it for them self.
