CJD: I've always had a soft spot for MVP, even before he became an elder statesman of pro wrestling counter culture. This match is even more simple than your Masters studio match, and one of the shortest we've ever featured. It has a bonus match snuck onto the end, with Kofi Kingston VS Brian Kendrick that's worth a watch as well! Masters and Montel are such giant men that everything they do here looks impressive. The booking was different and effective if a little anti climactic. We were just talking to each other about how we aren't always watching matches for the blog for their overall quality, and this is a good example. This is just an interesting piece of wrestling for a few reasons. And I'm looking forward to more Atonio Banks from you!
JJZ: Love the cameo by JTG after the match. That finish was soooo good. Really clever. So this was definitely simple but it was supposed to be simple. The wrestling wasn't the star of the match it was the ambiance. Masters coming back, the ticking clock on the titantron. Knowing that there might not be an actual pinfall or submission to end the match. Also loved the yoked up meat head using his brain to get the job done. 👍
