WINNERS: NASTY BOYS
This was a solid match, The Nasty Boys are a reliable team for a brawl, they used the basic tag wrestling, isolating Bagwell as much as they could and making quick tags, cutting the ring in half. The fans were behind everything Bagwell and Scorpio did, almost willing them to retain until the veteran team use one last trick to regain the titles..– As a match it's ** but personally I'd rate it 4/10
