Review by Chui
Taiyo Kea & Akebono vs. Big Daddy Voodoo & Rene Dupree. Kea and Dupree lock up. Dupree ... backs Kea into the corner and gives something of a clean break. Repeat, but in reverse and with a totally clean break. They both do the Hogan ear cup pose. Dupree drops Kea with a shoulder block, then gets hip tossed. Kea works a side headlock, then drops Dupree with a shoulder block and hip tosses him again. Big Daddy V yells at Dupree to “get mean!” Dupree offers a handshake. Kea declines and tags in Akebono. Dupree flexes his muscles, then gets squashed in the corner. Akebono groups Dupree with a headlock. That can’t be fun. Kea tags in and beats up Dupree some more. Kea hits a lariat for 2. Voodoo decks Kea from the apron. Dupree throws Kea outside where Voodoo beats him up. Dupree throws Kea back into the ring and tags in Voodoo. Dupree hits Kea with a drop toe hold and Voodoo drops a leg on the back of his head. Ouch. Voodoo steps on Kea. Double ouch. Voodoo hits Kea with a loud Big Show chop on the corner, then clobbers him with some elbows. Voodoo squashes Kea in the other corner and hits kind of a half assed senton splash (it looked save though). Akebono saves. Dupree tags in and beats up Kea. Kea fights back and drops Dupree with a kick, then makes the tag to Akebono. Akebono clocks Voodoo on the apron, then squashes Dupree with an elbow drop for 2. Dupree drops Akebono and tags in Voodoo. Fat guy fight! Voodoo squashes Akebono in the corner, but it’s no sold. Repeat in reverse. Voodoo finally knocks down Akebono with a lariat. Dupree tags in and hits Akebono with a diving headbutt. Akebono throws Dupree off the cover at 2. Akebono hits Dupree with the 64, but Voodoo saves, then accidentally squashes Dupree. Akebono knocks Voodoo out of the ring. Kea hits Dupree with the TKO. Akebono follows with a big splash for the pin in 10:57. Fun little match.
