Just as Taz expected, having two referees in the same match certainly took away from the in-ring action during the tag team match between Owens/Zayn and Nakaumra/Orton. He admits that he thought the finish was quite creative and he likes the way that was booked, but he thought they could have done everything the same with one of the referees working on the outside of the ring.
Taz thought Jinder Mahal and A.J. Styles had a great match last night, and he had no issue with Mahal tapping out to lose this match. He points out that ultra-violent, old school heels can lose their heat by tapping out, but Mahal is a different type of heel and tapping out doesn’t hurt him.
He was particularly impressed by A.J. Styles’ performance in this match. Styles knew he was going to win, so he went all out to ensure that he got Mahal over in the process and Taz says that’s a very old school approach to the business. Taz is a huge fan of Styles but he also says that he loves Mahal as a heel Champion.
That sums up today’s episode of The Taz Show. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya tomorrow for another recap!
