Mike Awesome vs. Vampiro

[3.0] "Who was allowed to make Mike Awesome into That 70s Guy? They should be fired out of a cannon. Anyway, this was mostly a pretty boring, plodding match all things considered, but at least I got to watch Mike Awesome powerbomb a fool off the top rope, that was pretty much worth it. Highlight of the night so far? Perhaps."

[1.0] "This match between both men was just way too rough and miserable to watch with all the in ring work being painful looking with Vampiro, not giving a single ounce of care in this thing, doing such horrible work and the amount of sandbagging he does to Awesome was jus unbelievable."

[2.0] "Awesome is a walk and brawl god. When he isn't being sandbagged. Vampiro continues his world tour of not giving a single f*** about anything, and it definitely shows. Woof."

[1.0] "I give this a point for Mike Awesome beating up a fan who tried to get involved when they were crowd brawling. To be fair, Vampiro had just stolen the guys walking stick to hit Awesome with so I imagine he was quite pissed. They should have taken Vampiro out back and put him down like a lame race horse after this."

[3.0] "Very weak sauce Hardcore/no-DQ match. It's like their copying famous spots from many other matches, although completely lacking the subsequent fire & passion that should go with it. A fan also got involved in the brawl when they were among the fans on the outside. The added stip before the match began really added nothing."

[0.0] "Vampiro was never much good even when he was trying, and he wasn't trying here. Another awful match."

[2.0] "If you want to show someone what "phoning it in" means, show them Vampiro in this match. None of his moves indicated that he was even trying, and he seemed to be sandbagging Mike Awesome. It wasn't even that Vampiro couldn't sell, it's that he didn't want to. This is almost burying the guy worse than the Fat Chick Thriller thing. Awesome is wrestling a brick wall. He's effectively wrestling for two people, and I have to commend that effort."

[3.0] "This match was horrible. I have no idea how two different people rated this above an 8. Awesome and Vampiro, especially Vampiro, seemed incredibly lost and stiff throughout. Vampiro went so far as to search each area under the ring for something specific, then just gave up. This match was supposed to be a straight up singles match. I have absolutely no idea when it was decided they were going to allow chairs, and tables, and a random mic stand that was, for some reason, just chilling in the stands? The only reason I? m even giving this a 3 is because of Awesome? s power bomb off the top rope to end things. Otherwise, this was 100% a throwaway match."

[2.0] "This was a complete fiasco from beginning to end. All of the big spots are botched and there are a lot of moments where they just look completely lost trying to figure out what to do next. Vampiro spends an age looking for something under the ring but can't find it. The Awesome Bomb off the top was cool but the match was beyond salvaging by that point."

[8.0] "A perhaps surprisingly excellent match in a terrible time. Awesome was used terribly by WCW but he remained a talented wrestler, and Vampiro did fine. Mark Madden's commentary remains horrifying to the ears."

[9.0] "This just brought joy to my heart. Two absolute GOATs. Also the commentary was hilarious -"Turn me on Deadman". "Only a dead guy could kick out of that Awesome Bomb". "That killed him! ". Classic stuff."
