NEW MOTY

Briscoes vs. Murder City Machine Guns - Return Engagement **** 3/4

We begin with MCMG owning, showing new double team the Briscoes don't know and a willingness to take shortcuts to get ahead that lets them end in control of most exchanges, though, as always, the Briscoes are close behind. Finally, the Guns do a miscommunication spot, that allows the Briscoes to control. Being so awesome at combos, the Briscoes do a lot of damage fast and control Shelley until that willingness to cheat rears it's head again and MCMG regain control. Some eye rakes then allow Sabin to dive and it's clear the Briscoes are a step behind this encounter.

The Briscoes finally fight fire with fire, isolating Sabin and keeping Shelley off the apron. Sabin's workover is sold beautifully, stiff and really well done. Awesomely, from here on out, Sabin can't get more than a move or two in a row without collapsing from how badly he's been beaten. Shelley's hot tag leads to numerous tag sequences, with things that worked in the first match and even earlier in this one not working now, but it's clear that Briscoe are at a disadvantage in the tag work department, a departure from last year where they were barely superior at that.

The Briscoes get desparate and start inventing new combos on the spot. This turns out successful and leads to an out-of-nowhere Jay Driller, which Sabin manages to kick out of, having gotten a decent amount of rest while Shelley did the bulk of the work for several minutes. He then eats a Springboard Doomsday, having no energy left to fight out, and is saved by Shelley at the last second. Shelley takes out Jay and himself, as Mark goes for a shooting star on the downed Sabin. Sabin knows its coming from their last match (awesomely pointed out by the commentary) and moves, getting the huge tag to Shelley.

Mark is hurt so Shelley goes with the Sliced Bread #2. Mark is strong enough to escape that, so Shelley goes up. Jay stops him, but with his last bit of energy Sabin hits a super German suplex. Mark manages to climb up to try and stop Shelley, but Shelley suckerred him and Mark's still too weak. A Super Sliced Bread #2 finishes.

This was incredibly well done with only a bit of off selling from (who else) Mark keeping it from the full 5, but even Mark was far better than usual. The Guns stepped up their tag game and used cheating to keep ahead of the Briscoes, but when Jay and Mark's hands were forced they started trying new things. Unfortunately, they only really weakenned Sabin, but not enough that he had nothing and he was able to come through in a big moment due to knowing his opponents from the last encounter and Shelley, the freshest man in the match, was able to finish.

Wow.

You didn't mention the best part of the match...Sabin's plancha over Sinclair and the top rope and landing in the front row on his feet and dishing out the high fives

The ***** moment of Punk winning the World Heavyweight Title?

Other then that, Kobashi/KENTA vs. Sasaki/Nakajima is the first i'd recommend.

I'm curious to what you guys think of the Stevens FIP title match up in the beginning of the year. I didn't think it was possible but people like Danielson/Stevens allot more then his match with Stevens. What do you guys think?

[McQueen]

Strong/Stevens from Redefined (if thats what your talking about) is right now sitting at **** 1/2 and is my current MOTY. I have yet to watch Dragon/Stevens or Aries/Stevens.

I'm going to go watch DoubleKenta vs K. Office now.

[Caponex75]

Whoops. Actually ment to put his match with Aries. I got a link to Aries/Stevens if anyone wants it.
