The Dudley Boyz vs. The Full Blooded Italians
We had an early edit featuring The Dudley contingent almost ending this one immediately thanks to Buh-Buh press slamming Pazano not only in the ring, but also onto the floored Guido. Following another edit, Spike Dudley showcased his wrestling acumen by almost pinning the littlest Dudley. Guido got the chance to utilize an Irish whip against Spike, sending him to the floor to put the boots to his opponent as Davey recovered. The F.B.I. had isolated Spike on their part of the ring, double teaming Spike behind the referee’s back to a chorus of boos including an Irish whip into the chair being held by Davey from the apron. Buh-Buh was rallying the fans behind “LSD”, giving him the will to kick out of a sure pin following Guido’s tiger bomb. But the Irish whip that helped turned the tide in his favor earlier cost Guido as Spike reversed the maneuver to bulldog Guido before tagging out. Buh-Buh was all fired up while mocking Guido. Bouncing Little Guido off the ropes, Buh-Buh executed a one-man Dudley Death Drop! Pazano stopped a sure three count, only to feel the wrath of the Buh-Buh Cutter. Letting Spike climb on his shoulders, The Dudleyz utilized the Rocket Launcher so Spike could splash his way to a pin fall victory on Pazano.
Winner: The Dudley Boyz (5:47 Shown)
Is It A Classic: Not a classic, but very a rather entertaining TV style tag team match that showed just how dangerous The Dudley Boyz in any form could be.
