Match Total: 45/60 - this match is good.

Comments: as I have already indicated this match is good, it is a solidly good match/match slot , I know there is an inverted atomic drop by Luger that looks a bit sloppy, but in fairness and balance does carry Brian from one corner performing the 10 punches in the corner whilst going up on Luger; counter to Luger carrying him to almost the opposite corner to deliver this inverted atomic drop including Luger looking really sweaty at this point [speculation may be having grip issues or fatigue is setting in or maybe Brian is slightly in the wrong position, which he can't help this, he isn't the one in control at this moment in time and Luger is dealing with things as they are.] but this does not affect my marking, because generally speaking it doesn't look poor or an issue, but as I have already said it just looks a bit sloppy. This is still speculation, on reflection, maybe longer had to improvise, because maybe the idea was for him to carry Brian from one corner to the opposite corner and sit Brian on the top turnbuckle. What leads me to think like this is because after doing this Luger picks up to deliver maybe another inverted atomic drop, but instead he lifts them up and put him on the top turnbuckle to continue the match.

 But we move on to the closing stages of this match, is something I don't mind either, it does come out of nowhere but never mind, you can have one of these endings now and again. But and this is the important thing at least it keeps up with the momentum of this pay-per-view.

Basic Result:  the United States Heavyweight Champion "The Total Package" Lex Luger is still our United States Heavyweight champion.
