Because I review WWE on a weekly basis and the product has changed so very much over the years, it's easy to forget how good a simple hardcore match can potentially be. This is the kind of match that Impact Wrestling would never be able to show on TV due to its barbaric nature. But Sami Callihan and Jimmy Havoc worked a complete winner.
There were staplers, trash cans, and even lemons. At one point, a whole bunch of salt was pulled out and rubbed on the wounds, bringing a figure of speech to life on camera. And the match ended with a whole bunch of Legos replacing thumbtacks.
Sami Callihan picked up the win and it must be mentioned that there's probably nobody better in the world at this kind of match. I hope that he can become Impact Wrestling World Champion someday in the near future.
