Eddv 09/15/21 2:36:09 PM #3:	NWA United States Tag Team Championship Match: The Midnight Express ("Sweet" Stan Lane and "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton) (c) vs. The Wild-Eyed Southern Boys (Tracy Smothers and Steve Armstrong) - Great American Bash, July 7, 1990 I recommend using the WWE Network or Peacock but this link works: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3au6it The year is 1990, Ultimate Warrior is main eventing the wwf and for the first time since 1985 WWF is presenting a genuinely bad product. The opportunity was there for NWA:WCW to make a big dent and display their worth as an alternative and Great American Bash 1990 was a banger of a show that did just that. It was main evented with Stings finally defeating Flair, Luger continuing his red hot rise and Doom in the midst of their bad ass world tag team titles run, but newsletter readers were all atwitter with praise for the US tag team titles match. The build to this match is pretty simple - Southern Boys came into the territory and have been beating everyone in their path, the Midnight Express was in the midst of their third and final run with the title they're probably the most synonymous with. Cornette promises that while the Southern Boys are good, his team is just better and dares them to prove him wrong. The match itself is practically the very template for "Young Face Tag team vs Wily Veteran Tag Team". There isn't a lot here in terms of solid technical wrestling but there is a lot of just really solid as fuck work, with Bobby Eaton and Tracy Smothers doing some spots that are far enough ahead of their time that rookie announcer Jim Ross has a hard time calling the action. There is a very fun exchange of Karate kicks and chops by Smothers and Lane that is a real highlight of the match. I first watched this match a month ago when Eaton died and considering Smothers also died this year I just wanted to share a match that demonstrated just how good they were. This match could be on dynamite or All Out and still fit in. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/AWY4xHy <cite>Eddv posted [p:958084009] in B8 Discord...
