What if The Rockers were Marty Jannetty and Jumpin Jeff Farley? The rest would have been history: the Heartbreak Kid. The Boy Toy. The Ladder Matches. The Kliq. The Montreal Screwjob. World Heavyweight Titles. Hell In The Cell. Finding my smile. D-X. One More Match. Undertaker and Flair at WrestleMania. The Icon, The Showstopper, The Main Event: The Heartbreak Kid Jumpin Jeff Farmer.
I didn't think anything could be more viciously brutal than that 2 minute armbar, but those forearms to the kidneys! I mean, my God! Working the kidneys!
By far the most epic battle I have ever witnessed. Seeing Jumping Jeff go full force and unleashing his arsenal of devastating moves was a life changing experience.
You know, I've never seen this appear on Meltzer 5 star matches list. Dave must have some bias against IPW or something. The technical ability, the ring psychology, the story telling, it's all there, This is as good as any of those puro matches from Japan that Meltzer loves so much, and maybe even better.
Rumor has it Motley Cruz was handpicked by Vince McMahon to be Hogan's replacement but was sent to jail for failure to pay child support before it came to fruition.
ive actually refereed a few of motleys matches before i started wrestling and watched him for years before i ever got into it, the man has some talent, he can wrestle and he can get the crowd going, i dont know what this crap was but it sucked lol
RVD and Jerry Lynn got nothin' on this!

They put on a better match by the halfway mark then most of WWE and TNA can do in one program. That should say something.
