This time they throw a double-FIP at us, I guess because it's AWA Tribute Night. Like the previous bout it starts slowly and gets better as it goes along. As Plan Bs go, this is a damned good one. "Frankenstein" hits, and the Bodies are out to a HUGE pop. The stuff about the girlfriends was a shoot, was the theft of Smothers' tag title belt a shoot as well? Is Morton off comparing notes with the Snowman somewhere?Ĭornette is out and sickened over the lovefest going on in the ring, and points out that we still need a tag title match, and offers up two members of the Militia. The result is a big pop when Bullet Bob announces the termination of Morton's contract. SMW successfully turns Ricky Morton heel in his absence, if the television hadn't accomplished that already. Nothing that hasn't been done better elsewhere, but still really good, and seems better than it probably is because these types of matches are starting to fall by the wayside as wrestling changes. I like the finish with Cornette pulling out the ether rag. But I liked that they worked this as a straight up tag instead of as a brawl, as while this was a territory built around tag teams, there just aren't a ton of standout tag team matches (at least that look good compared to anything going on in the world anywhere). Smothers tries really hard, but he just isn't a Ricky Morton-level FIP guy. Finally, Cornette is out with the house mic and goads the Thugz into putting their titles on the line against his team, which happens to be the Bodies, and we have a match! Gibson puts his hand out to bury the hatchet with both guys, as tensions had been building. Bob Armstrong explains that Ricky Morton has left SMW over the fight between his girlfriend and Tracy Smothers' girlfriend. Ricky Morton is out of SMW at this point, so Bob Armstrong and Robert Gibson come to the ring.
