Red gets in a kick to the face out of the corner and tags in Dutt. Dutt fights off Skipper and Daniels for a while, and he then executes a moonsault off the middle rope on to both.

He pulls a couple lines out of his head and ends it saying the fans were quiet when he sang. Nash says he controls all of them. Nash says “bow to the Kings of Wrestling.” By this time he had me cracking up laughing.

Awesome match these two put on. Great heat from the crowd, and the match had a great build to it. I wasn’t expecting much in a long match from Brown since his matches usually last under 2 minutes, but he came through strong and looked good.
