Guido Maritato & Tony Mamaluke vs. Mikey Whipwreck & Yoshihiro Tajiri

[8.0] "These four might have only six minutes and change to work with, but they made every second count and crammed in a lot of stuff. Just balls-to-the-wall action which the crowd ate up. Guido gets to show off his shooting skills by landing a glorious armbar counter on Tajiri. The double team moves these four pulled off were truly spectacular. They even manage to cram in a quick hot tag segment, which sees Whipwreck make a hot tag after laying Mamaluke out with a Whippersnapper. This served as a very moreish appetizer for their more famous tag title match later in the month."

[7.0] "This match had spot after spot, but wasn't a spotfest - a really well worked little tag match. ***1/2"

[5.0] "I suppose for a 6 minute match this is OK--the crowd is hot and the match has some nice physicality to it. Unfortunately the short length prevents it from being anything more than your standard TV match."

[8.0] "The perfect example of a very good match being made great by the excitement of the crowd. Matches like these are why there will NEVER be another ECW. ****"

[10.0] "If there's a perfect 7 minute match, this must be it, and it's proof positive you don't need a ton of time to have a positively world class match. There's scintillating mat work, bone crunching strikes, crowd interaction, and even a dose of psychology, these guys knew they were short on time so they just went all out and it was fantastic. I do not exaggerate when I say Tajiri may have been the best worker in the world at this particular time."
