Match Thoughts: I still miss the spike piledriver, what a beautifully painful looking move. Beyond that, just a tune up match for the relatively new tag team to assert their power before going up against more difficult foes like Sting and Flair. Pretty basic match but Muta's heel tactics were on point and I loved the finish. Score: 6.0
