![]() I have no idea how a match this long was going to air on SNME anyway, but I sort of like it better that it happened the way it did. The unconventional layout and ring ropes breaking give this the feel of a cross between something Giant Baba would promote and something Paul Boesch would promote. He's the ring general that keeps things going when they're hampered, and this match reflects well on him for the most part. Speaking of Bret, he really gives an excellent performance in this. My favorite is Bret crotching himself on the bottom turnbuckle. When the top rope falls off, I think it actually adds to the match, because they start doing more unconventional spots. There's not the same heat you normally get in a match involving these guys, but this is fresh and different. It feels more like an All Japan match from the same time period without quite as much offense, although there is some pretty impressive offense by WWF standards at the time. Because it's a babyface match, the match layout isn't really a typical Southern tag. This comes across as more of a physical, hard-hitting match than it normally would post-production, and the aggression takes center stage. I wonder how many WWF matches would come across better without commentary.
