This was one of the best matches in APW history and a legitimate US Match Of The Year Contender. Jardi Frantz is a young highflyer who looks like Evan Koragis while Massaro is a portly APW Superworker, while WSP we know and love. The match started with Massaro and Boyce pairing off and they did a nice sequence which was highlighted by Boyce doing a cartwheel to counter a stunner. Boyce becomes the face in peril when he gets pushed off the top rope to the floor. Frantz and Massaro work over LeGrande for a while, including a nice running Liger Bomb by Massaro, until the hot tag. The start a mini highspot train with an awesome assisted tope-con-hilo by Boyce and the springboard shooting star press to the floor by Frantz. At this point the match was approaching 20 minutes and they went into an extended AJW or Toryuman style finisher sequence, including a running Air Raid Bomb and Viagra Driver by Massaro, springboard dropkick by Frantz into a Massaro DDT, and a bunch of cool double teams by the WSP2K. The end finally came with Boyce hitting a swanton bomb off a ladder for the pin. One especially cool thing about this match is that the psychology was actually better then in most AJW or Toryuman spot fests. When the finisher was hit, the partner would break up the pin and then work a sequence with the guy that hit the move, this would allow the guy hit with the finisher to sell it, rather then just leap up and continue working. Almost all the moves were hit crisply, and even the green Frantz stepped it up. Just a great match and well worth the download time.
