On The Road - (Schneider, Dean, Rippa)
"DR: The Serial Thrillaz won the OMEGA tag titles from the WWF's Hardy Boyz after Shane Helms hit a giant toprope splash of Mike Maverick shoulders. This match was amazingly great. It was differently great than their last really great match from last month, because HERE the ST were faces and the Hardys wrestled heel. I was talking to Hangman Tim and we were trying to figure out if the Cheetah Master is more over in Newport, Delaware than the Serial Thrillaz are in Wendell, NC and I'd say it's a toss-up. Both are more over than Flair in Charlotte it seems at times. The basis of this match was the Hardys whipping out their heel tag team tactics THAT RULE. I think the Hardys wrestle heel in those SWC shows at that bar but this was the first time I'd seen them work heel and it was almost as cool as them working face. The ST working face was the same way- their face tag tactics were super cool and almost as cool as their heel offense. Jeff Hardy is totally INSANE. He took two bumps that were... well... INSANE. Shane Helms seals his fate as Coolest Young Wrestler on the scene by doing the Most AWESOME Lou Thesz Press EVER. I couldn't believe I saw it. I thought they might Dusty the finish and there would be a RIOT IN WENDELL and TIM WOULD HAVE HAD IT ON TAPE!! Just like a Tijuana handheld! Unfortunately, they do the right thing and put the belts on the ST- since they are the best tag team in the indies- and the skyrocketing value of the tape on the trading block will have to rely on the actual superior wrestling as opposed to the GREATNESS of a SOUTHERN WRESTLING RIOT!! Hell, I'll definitely settle for this. This wasn't as great as the last one they had from a technical standpoint because the Hardys are cooler as faces and the Serial Thillaz are the BEST heel tag team in the US. It was a FAT ASS night of wrestling and OMEGA continues to deliver the goods- BIG TIME.

PR: Man that was so the WORLD'S HOTTEST CROWD. The Thesz press ruled so much that in the car on the way home all three of us started thing about it for no other apparent reason than it RULED. The Hardys show that they spend too much time around Too Much as the bust out all the homoerotic sexual overtones. The wrestling was great but I could have lived without the 69 spot. Anyhoo, Jeff Hardy decided to receive the Dangerous Ring Toss Driver as he flies like five feet threw the ropes and to the floor. Hi I'm Jeff Hardy. You might not know me but I'M INSANE!!! People who think tag team wrestling is dead need to get copy of all these Serial Thrillaz/Hardy Boyz matches because there is this spacial anomaly that keeps all this choice hovering around the Raleigh/Durham area.

PS: Matt Hardy is the North Carolina Bret Hart, as he shows he can play the pissed off prick heel as great as he can play the idolic face, Jeff Hardy is the North Carolina Psicosis as he not only takes the huge elaborate bumps to the floor, but takes the in r-ng insane bumps as well, including my favorite, as he placedone foot on Mike Mavericks back to be a dick, and then he got fliped up in the air and on his head when Maverick stands up. Shane Helms rocks it with the assisted plancha on to said Hardy boys, which blew the roof off of the Wendell High gym. And the aforementioned Thez Press. They had a ref bump and a punking of the second ref, and for a second I thought they were going to do the wrong thing and have the Hardy's go over ST (Which would have been like if Flair refused to job at the David Von Erich Memorial on a irate crowd scale.) This was not as technically great as
their match in Durham, but the heat was so unreal it put the match over the top. OMEGA Baby Learn to love it."

"Serial Thrillaz vs. Hardy Boyz  - OMEGA Tag Titles The Serial Thrillaz are Mike Maverick and Shane Helms. Maverick is an underrated heavyweight that is working his way back from two broken arms.  Helms is one crazy son-of-a-bitch that can wrestle his ass off. Along with the Hardys and the guys from the last match, Ladies and Gentleman, the Future of American Wrestling. (PR)

Venom and Helms are definitely the two ticking indie time-bombs.  Both need to go to Japan forever and become truly great.  Shane Helms has that BIG intensity that the real wrestlers have.  It makes his offense look credible and keeps you eyes on him the whole time like a little guy from Canada who wrestles for WCW.  Plus he is truly insane which is the big wildcard to mix in with the cool suplexes.  Serial Thrillaz are as good as a Southern-style tag team can get- a Heavenly Bodies if the
Bodies watched a lot of New Japan Juniors tapes. (DR)

Memo To Jeff Hardy: YOU'RE INSANE. That would be evident when he decides to wait to the very last second to rotate on a springboard somersault plancha. (PR)

THAT was SWANK! (DR)

Let me elaborate, Matt Hardy lies on his back, and Jeff springs off that onto
the top turnbuckle and does a HUGE plancha over the ringpost throwing in the
twist at the absolutely last moment. Right up there with the coolest highspots
you will ever see. And what made it so great is that it was the climax of an awesome 20 minute classic Southern Tag team match, which had the Matt Hardy + Shane Helms do Malenko + Guerrerro, 8000 great double teams, the super splash from Helms, and various other beauty and light. (PS)

The last two matches set off the debate in the car on the way back as to which was the better match and possible Indy Match of the Year. Either way another quite satisifying evening of OMEGA. (PR)

I'd say that the Serial Thrillaz vs Death and Destruction and the Hardys vs Venom/Shane Helms were as good or slightly better, but I didn't see those live.  This is Win, Place, and Show for Indie MOTY for me this year live.  Tim said he thought that the ECWA four-way was better and Cheetah said Reckless vs Quackenbush was better this year live, but she qualified that by saying she was trying to take into account her bias towards favoring Southern tag matches too much as a style, but this WAS about as great as a Southern style Tag team ass-stomp gets, because it
had the same psychology but it also had IMMENSE amounts of world class State-Of-The-Art moves.  Overall, the last two matches saved this cards bacon and made it well worth the fat ass trip. I hope to see it with the usual chain-smoking teenage armoury crowd next time and hopefully while sitting on a couch at ringside like in Southern Pines last time. (DR)

I will pick this match as Indy MOTY, as it didn't have to get all garbagy at the end like Helms/Venom v. Hardys and it had hotter moves then Thrillaz v. D+D. Venom and Cham Pain could have reached this, if it was a little longer, the rest was quite hit and miss, but those two matches Rocked it like a hurricane. (PS)"
