Harry Smith vs. Teddy Hart

[5.0] "Later in the year, Teddy would become infamous for his unprofessionalism in TNA and especially ROH (Scramble Cage incident) but at this point he is still yet to work a big match outside of Stampede. He is very much the heel here, cutting a promo before the match starts which is unfortunately very hard to understand because of the audio quality. Safe to say he is not the good guy here though, that much is obvious. Harry is a baby-faced 17 year old, but already has a lot of experience - debuting at the age of 9, and making a name for himself in NGW MatRats in the last couple years. The match itself is surprisingly contained. It mostly consists of middling-to-good technical work that is sufficient, but doesn't really have any structure. It was perfectly fine though, and they did each get a couple big moves in towards the end. Harry is probably the most impressive, which speaks volumes as this version of Teddy Hart is probably the best. Not only did Harry show off some strength in tribute to his dad, but he had athleticism and striking to boot. The match was 50-50 which is a really good endorsement of the less-experienced Harry. It even took a screwy finish for Teddy to win, which sucked and definitely brought the match down a peg. Harry hits a running powerslam and goes for the cover - he thinks he got the 3 but Teddy managed to get his foot on the ropes. As Harry is raising his arms in celebration, again and again and again and again, for about a minute, Teddy sloooooowly gets to his feet and hits one shot to the back of the head, and gets the pinfall. Really lame finish. Apart from that, this was solid, but only worth watching for historical context or just curiosity. (2.5*)"
