The Axcellence Of Execution 

– This review covers Episode #66, which featured Team Axcellence against The Geordie Bulldogs, taped back in March at “Never Enough” from Yadkinville, North Carolina. There was a logical story headed in, evidenced by both teams’ back-to-back promos. Basically, TA sought revenge against the team that previously beat them as they looked to be on the road to gold, with AML Tag Team Champions The Heatseekers a clear target. GB played nice “English Punk” heels, as they insulted TA for their “pretty looks” and were eager to beat them once more. The match itself was okay, got better as it went along. As you’d expect, the heels bent the rules wherever possible to fit in some cheap shots and played the crowd nicely. Eventually, TA built up a strong comeback with some slick double-teams and with the crowd on their side, they came to life at the finish, which involved the Russian Leg Sweep Blockbuster. Made sense to brand this as a signature win for TA, as this was something that could propel them into a Title shot against the unstoppable Heatseekers. All in all, good match. Was every spot perfect? No, they could’ve caught each other better on the suicide dives, but that’s pure nit-picking.
