This match was like the proto version of the big guy cruiserweight match that became really popular over the last year or two. I re watched this because I remembered it prompting at least one Longfellow twitter meltdown about how bad it was. I don't think it was bad at all though. Instead of just big guys doing little guy moves like we see now it was just big guys doing normal big guy moves really fast. I spent the whole time waiting for a dumb looking destroyer or some similar sloppy junior move that sucked the fun out of it but it never really came. I'm sure the burning hammer kickout bothered someone, but in a match that half felt like a tongue and cheek joke as is it didn't really bother me.
Cage won with a Steiner Screwdriver in about 17 minutes. I don't think this needed to go that long but I still had enough fun watching it that I can't complain about it too much. A worthy watch if you want to see people drop each other on their heads far too many times.
***1/4
