This is the Fabs' debut in Houston, and a match I think we only had JIP'd back during the original Mid-South project. NWA on Demand gave us the full version a few years ago and it's pretty cool that that was a thing for a while. These are two of my five favourite tag teams ever and of course I thought this ruled. The Fabs established right away that they are not a pair of gentlemen you want to cheer, just from the way they were getting in Tommy Gilbert's ear. The match hadn't even started and you could tell Gilbert had had enough. Then Lane is complaining about the Guerreros pulling tights and Keirn was riling up fans from the apron. I think he intimated that one person had no teeth, which was quite frankly exceptional. Chavo and Hector are always fun working the arm so obviously the shine was good. I get a kick out of Boesch pointing out that Lane and Keirn have similar builds, heads of hair and beards and then spending the next 10 minutes not knowing who's Stan Lane and who's Steve Keirn. The Fabs are just awesome after they take over on Chavo, dragging the referee every which way while goading Hector into the ring. Gilbert has to WORK to keep Hector out as well - there were no half-arsed attempts at making the save here, Hector was irate and wanted a piece. When he finally does get the hot tag - after Chavo somersaults around the ring out of Lane's grasp - he comes in hitting dropkicks, and Hector has a quality dropkick so you can add that to the long list of things he does well. The finish really is one of the best bits of heel switcheroo you'll get. This is an awesome matchup and this was an awesome first instalment of it.
