Any time Backlund was in the ring, this was fun, as he messed with the Samoans, getting in their heads and driving them mad. It functioned much like a southern tag match. I'm not sure it needed to be two out of three falls, since Backlund and Morales won both falls and the Samoans got none. But it was still a fun watch. |
| 2 | 23.08.2022 | TigerDiver | 5.0 | This was a pretty notable match in itself, as it marked the first time a wrestler became a double champion within the Federation. The beginning saw Bob and Pedro owning the Samoans, countering their game plan and constantly getting the better of them. They finally took over on Bob, and this began a heat segment to build up Pedro's hot tag. This wasn't a good segment, but it did a decent enough job to the crowd in building up the tag, so I won't fault it. The finish to the first fall was cool, with Backlund hitting an Atomic Drop on Afa into a Morales roll-up. Captain Lou Albano got escorted by the police in the second fall after he cheap-shotted Morales on the floor. This opened the door for the faces to make another comeback, culminating in Pedro dropkicking Afa while he had Backlund atop his shoulder and allowing Bob to land on top for the win and the titles. A couple of lulls toward the middle of each fall put this down, but they stuck to the basics, made it work, and got a huge pop in the end as a result. [**1/2] |
