In the backstage area, and he cuts a really good promo, as he seems to have taken to this more serious character he’s started to portray. Short, fun, and this certainly did its job of getting the crowd into the show.
As with nearly every WWE tag team match ever, all four men end up in the ring for the finish, with Spike nailing Bubba with a Dudley Dog, whilst the crowd go insane as Tazz forces D’Von to submit to the Tazzmission. Tazz comes in off the hot tag and starts hurling around both Dudleyz with Suplexes. I honestly feel like Spike and Tazz are the perfect team with Spike only good at getting his ass kicked, and Tazz one of the better ass kickers. A hot opener in terms of crowd reaction, as they marked out when Spike was able to make the hot tag to Tazz. As with pretty much every match they have had so far, The Dudleyz throwing Spike around and pummelling him is fun to watch, and Spike bumps around for them like a lunatic. The Dudleyz take care of Tazz early, removing him from the equation so that they can isolate Spike. They play off the angle on Smackdown with The Dudleyz giving Spike as 3D in the parking lot, as Spike even comes to the ring wearing a neck brace. As a matter of fact, considering the chemistry these two teams have already proven to have throughout this year, it’s no surprise to me that this is fun to watch. The Dudley Boyz w/Stacy KeiblerĪ short and sharp PPV opener for the year 2002 with the match only going about five minutes or so, but it worked for what it was.
