Post match a video recapped the end of the match…[C] Shore’s Slant: Good match that really showcased what can be right with tag team wrestling. Both sets of men are solid in the ring and Eve is athletic enough that Natty can carry her. I like the Hart’s winning here too. I would rather have seen one of the Hart men go over clean as Cryme Tyme were the most recent contenders for the tag titles, but I’ll take what I can get I guess. An average show for Superstars. The last few weeks have spoiled me so I’ll give this show a break…but they better bring it again next week.
