WCW Crusierweight Champion Eddy Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio - WCW Halloween Havoc 1997 Title Vs Mask When people talk about matches that you need to see before you die, this is near the top of the list. In fact, I think even non-wrestling fans could appreciate the athleticism and execution on display from these two high caliber wrestlers. From a pure execution standpoint, you will be hard-pressed to find a better match. It was two of the greatest wrestlers ever at their absolute peak just both having the night of their lives and coming together to make violent, yet graceful art. Rey was absolutely poetry in motion. Not one single flub in a performance that featured some of the most complicated moves you will ever see while not coming off as a forced spot. The springboard DDT counter and the somersault plancha into the hurricanrana are just mind-blowing. Then you have to remember, he had to do this having just taken a shit kicking from Eddy. Eddy was just at his violent best. Everything was just so crisp and nasty. His chops and strikes reverberated around the building. His backbreakers and whips into the steel were violent. His holds stretched Rey to his breaking point. Ripping at the mask, he was just adding insult to injury. The mask was attached to the bodysuit because of a previous incident where Eddy ripped off Rey's mask, which caused a Rey loss. The Las Vegas crowd was with them in lockstep. "Eddie Sucks!" filled the ring during every brutal hold on Rey's back. They bit on Rey's nearfalls desperately hoping he would win the title and keep the mask. Eddy never let the match get out of hand. For every breath-taking Rey counter, he literally had a breath-taking counter which would evacuate the air from Rey's lungs (wicked double leg whip or back suplex) or knock him senseless (violent dropkick to the back of the head and HOLY SHIT powerbomb). Rey, though he screamed in agony, never quit. At first his fancy footwork was his downfall because Eddy anticipated his movements and could counter at will, but slowly he was connecting with more and more. Finally as he pulled himself from the Tree of Woe and Eddy slid into post, Rey took control and the crowd was cheering him on with each incredible move, the hurricanrana out of the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker is one of the best false finishes of all time. Eddie still would get his when he turned a springboard hurricanarana into a backbreaker. Eddy was poised to win with a frogsplash, but Rey moved and Eddy rolled through. Eddy looked to polish him off with Splash Mountain and just when it looked like Rey ran out of escapes he pulled out his best the hurricanarana out of Splash Mountain. You know until I watched it this time with a critical eye, it was the first time I noticed with was sub-15 minutes. They pack so much action in there that feels like a 20 minute match, but it is still so well-paced that you never feel like it is tiring. I was going to say it felt abbreviated, but now reviewing it and remembering just how amazing it is, I am going all the way. Eddie is just the meanest man in this match. He may have the best sneer in wrestling history and to think he may also have the most charismatic smile makes me miss him all that much more. Rey is the ultimate underdog. That is it, he is the best underdog ever. You know how much the mask means to him and here is Eddy ripping it at and just being a total prick. They just could not fire a bad shot in this match. *****

WCW Crusierweight Champion Syxx w/Kevin Nash vs Rey Mysterio - WCW Nitro 4/21/97 After a prolific breakout year in America in 1996, Rey Mysterio had a bit of a sophomore slump. Yes, he would have the best WCW match of the late 90s in 1997, but there was a wide chasm between the Halloween Havoc classic and his next best match. That is what happens when you feud with Prince Iaukea and basically given shit in the summer. I did not think the Dragon match at Spring Stampede was all that special so I would hold this up as my second favorite Rey match of 1997. As for Syxx, depending on how the Eddy ladder match goes, I have this only behind the tremendous Slamboree Six-Man for his tenure in WCW. It is so disappointing they were given such a short time, but they sure packed in a lot of action. Syxx was great at feeding Rey so fun spots early to get the crowd invested. His transition was great using Rey's speed against him by tossing him up and throwing him down. After being in the land of the giants in WWF, it must have been so cool for Syxx to finally be the bigger man in a match. You kinda forget that Syxx is a normal size human when he is always wrestling these behemoths. Syxx kicked some serious ass, but also kept it heel with the Bronco Buster (never liked that as a face move) and the cheating on the ab stretch. Rey crawling away from Big Sexy was a great visual. Rey's comeback off Syxx's missed Bronco Buster was great, but left you wanting so much more, a beautiful rana followed by maybe his best somersault plancha ever. Just when Rey Rey looked poised to win, Nash came in quick as a cat to stick him with the Jacknife. I actually liked Nash's involvement as it made the Crusierweight Title mean even more with the elite of the New World Order taking the time to be at ringside and ensure his buddy's victory. It would have been better if it set up for a kickass rematch on PPV. Imagine Flair/Rey vs Nash/Syxx on Nitro to build to it. WOW! I have said it before and I'll say it again, if only I could have been booker of WCW in 1996-97 what a talent pool! Awesome TV match! ***1/2

DId anybody think the sound effects for this match were a little quiet for this match? That took me out of it ever so slightly. I'll post a full review soon.

I first read about this angle on wrestlecrap in the early 2000s. It was definitely a standout angle that sounded humorous. When Harold & Kumar went to White Castle, I was so confused. I was old enough to know they couldn't possibly looking to enter Vader's lair, but having no idea it was a burger joint I was amused at the idea. Never seen the movie or been to the Restaruant. If I ever worked at a White Castle, I would end all customer orders with "Do you know what a strap match is?"

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I am switching mine to Badstreet USA!!!

I am really looking forward to Nikki's matches with the current NXT crop. I hope they don't put her out to pasture too soon. My favorite wrestler in WWE right now.

Vader & Barry Windham vs Sting & Dustin Rhodes - WCW Saturday Night 1/30/93 Twenty two years and nothing has changed, Dustin Rhodes is still the best face in peril in the game. Holy shit what an incredible performance from him throughout this match. It is too bad he got saddled with a crippled Rude. Windham vs Rhodes throughout the year would have been money. Vader and Windham were simply awesome in this. Windham was perfect early on being overwhelmed by Sting and Dustin. He tried different ways to get the upper hand, but Sting & Dustin were always one step ahead. I loved Dustin trying to meet Vader head on. It looked like it might work, but a wild Vader right turned Dustin inside out. The heat segment was just textbook with Dusting staggered but mixing in hope spots and the heels just staying on top of him. Dustin crawling for the tag and Vader literally squashing him was awesome! Windham was on fire with his suplexes and rights. Vader was just a force even hitting a flying body attack. Sting's hot tag whipped everyone into a frenzy and it looked like he had Windham right where he wanted him. However, with Dustin taken out by Vader and Harley on the outside, Vader annihilated Sting with a lariat and Windham hit his elevated DDT. This allowed teh heels to whip Sting like a dog. Well, now I am all revved up for SuperBrawl III. Obviously a better buildup than the White Castle of Fear, but I am glad that exists. Lets go to SuperBrawl III! LETS GO STING! ***1/2

This was hilariously awful. Sting and Harley were just so horrible to was hilarious and the cuts were so random and weird. Why were so many things repeated? Sting do you know what a strap match is? LOL! I loved Vader's robe though legitimately.

Sting vs Vader - WCW Starrcade 1992 "That's got to be depressing as hell when you do the move and the other guy's up first" - Jesse Ventura, Vader covers on after a Sting Suplex. There was a period of time when this was my favorite match of all time and still is one I will just give it a spin when I need a pick me up. A couple years ago, one of my cousins (11-12 years old at the time) was getting feisty about whether pro wrestling was real and was on the verge of ruining it for my younger cousin. I played this match and he was totally hooked all over again and thought Vader was the toughest badass to ever walk the planet. He still talks about Vader to this day. I love this match. It is almost the ideal David vs Goliath match with Sting giving his career performance in this match.From there the very beginning, he conveys the daunting task that stands before him. He is not going to cower, but he also realizes the gravity of the situation. When he tries to unload with punches early and Vader shouts back the classic "NO PAIN!" "NO PAIN!", I still get chills. Unlike the Great American Bash, there is no hot start for Sting. Vader is going to bulldoze him and throw him around at will. Sting tries to run at him and is that awesome Vader body attack. It is one of my favorite spots in wrestling. Vader takes a page out of Akira Taue's book and Vader drops him throat first across the ring ropes. Sting starts to stick and move. He avoids the clotheslines and hits a Kappo Kick, jumping Kawada kick! Vader was really good at selling the missed clotheslines and the beautiful German suplex and making it believable. They both spill to the outside and the crowd is rocking! Vader takes off the match and starts swearing. The front row loves this and gets on his case. Sting comes flying over the top to crash down on Harley and Vader. This brings me to my favorite part of this match and that was Sting's strategy. Jim Ross starts off the broadcast explaining Sting was going to try extend the big man and fatigue him. Jesse pointed out if the victory presents itself you got to take it. Sting amalgamates both points into a perfectly wrestled match. When the opportunity was present after the Kappo Kick, he was absolutely suffocating Vader. It was a full court press, giving Vader minimal time to recover. Sting simply would not be denied as he fought through Vader's counters to hit DDTs and apply the Scorpion Deathlock. It was only Vader's size that saved him from a quick exit. It is crucial how urgent Sting's actions are because it sets up the big turning point. He goes for the Stinger Splash on the railing and eats steel. Now that full court press has backfired and Vader smells blood. What follows may be one of the greatest exhibitions of selling in wrestling history as Sting was just so on point with modulating selling throughout the rest of the match. Vader dominates Stinger, but not all the credit can go Sting's way. The fact that Vader was selling the effects of Sting's offense allowed for the comeback to make more sense. Vader was beating the shit out of Sting with clotehslines, strikes and splashes, but Vader was not staying on Sting as well he should have because he was recovering from the attack. Sting looked resilient and the finish was not jeopardized by overkill in the heat segment. I loved Vader being overzealous on a pinfall after a splash that basically pulled Sting's shoulders off the mat. My favorite moment of the match and my favorite Ventura call (quoted above) was Sting finally gets a suplex, but it takes so much out of him that Vader is able to cover him. That is a totally ingenious spot! Sting now executes the second part of his strategy as he retreats to a corner and puts his arms up to block. Vader is throwing heavy blows, but is not landing as much damage. This whole segment is so dramatic. You can actually see the shift in Vader and Sting. Vader is being sapped of his power and Sting becomes emboldened as Vader no longer has much behind his punch. Now Sting is punching Vader in the face. He has him rocking! He has him reeling! He knocked him down! Samoan Drop! FLYING STINGER SPLASH! 1-2-NO! Can David do it? Harley is nervous for his investment and tries to buy time for his charge. It works as Vader clobbers Sting from behind. Damn, it was a good run. Vader splashes Sting from the middle rope, but he bounces off instead of hooking a pinfall. Vader is beside himself. He goes again, but this time from the top and Sting is able to catch him with a slam and cradle to win! Sting wrestled the match of his life. His offensive strategy was pitch perfect as discussed and his selling was even better. At beginning, he sells the enormity of the task, in the middle he sells the beating, but he is still defending himself. Then as he is staggering around with his arms up trying to drain Vader was absolutely perfect. Then when the moment was right he mounted an electric comeback. Vader was no slouch himself and was timing his offense perfectly for great damage, but also to make a Sting comeback credible. My slight qualm that keeps this from the tippy top is that the finish is clearly just Vader doing a flying somersault. It takes a bit of steam out of the match, but still one of the best matches in the history of pro wrestling. ****3/4

TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!

Kane is very mediocre and boring, but he does tend to connect with most of his offense unlike Kofi and Sin Cara. Stardust just drives me bonkers. Cody was developing into a really nice hot tag, but changing his entire moveset for Stardust has made him damn near unwatchable

That's a good one. I had forgotten about Sin Cara too, who blows spots left and right, but apparently he did have a great match with Cesaro.

First thing's first, Tag Teams Back Again is the realest. WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! WE ARE COMBINED 3-0 ON BRAINBUSTER, DADDY! My main man, Kelly, if you ever need me to take care of your light work, just tag me in, brutha! Best episode yet and I was on the first two. Johnny's Savage impression was fucking awesome and made that segment great. The Headlines segment was straight cash money. Then at the end of the day, the right person won. I may be biased. Really strong episode, glad it is really starting to gel.

So now that AJ has retired, who is the worst featured wrestler (Carmella, Eva Maria, Summer Rae etc... dont count) on the roster? Kofi? Stardust?

In March and April of 1999, WCW had one last gasp of compelling television. Yes, the Hogan/Flair double turn would the final nail in the coffin, but with the return of DDP & Sting, a renewed focus on tag team wrestling and the crusierweight good for a match, WCW was quite the entertaining TV show. Benoit & Malenko anchored a hot tag team division that featured a ton of fun matches with Kidman & Mysterio and Raven & Saturn. Sting came back with renewed passion was wrestling like it was 1992. That awful, shitty wrestler was left in 1998 and 1999 Sting was out to rock a million faces. I can't say enough about DDP in this time period. Quite simply, he was the best wrestler in America in 1998 and 1999. He deserved this World Championship victory in fact he deserved a lot longer run, but in his short run he managed to have great matches with Steiner and Goldberg and the very last classic match in the history of WCW against Sting in Fargo, ND on April 26, 1999 when you would have never known that WCW was a very sick promotion. For the duration of that match, everything was right in world of World Championship Wrestling and in pro wrestling in general.

WCW Crusierweight Champion Rey Mysterio Jr. vs Blitzkreig vs Psychosis vs Juventud Gurrera - WCW Nitro 4/19/99 Weird, this match really did not do much for me. I remember really liking it when it happened live because my favorite luchador, Psychosis finally won the Crusierweight Champion. To me that remains the highlight of the match is that Psychosis finally got the recognition he so richly deserved. Much like my main man, Diamond Dallas Page, it just was not to last and it is too bad. It starts off with the heels teaming up to take out the babyfaces, but when Juventud accidentally legdrops Psychosis the partnership dissolves into a heated confrontation. Now the babyfaces align to send the heels to the floor and WOW us with Stereo Asai Moonsaults. The crowd is definitely hottest for the Rey vs Juventiud match. I am surprised they never really had a signature singles match in WCW. I know they had a real classic in AAA and a strong showcase in ECW, but they never really had that one awesome match in WCW they could have had. The Thunder match in '98 is probably the best match they had, but I would liked them to get some more time. Psicosis nearly takes Rey Rey head off with a dropkick to break up the pinfall. I always like the spot in these multi-man where someone dives on top of a prone opponent after a different opponent hit a finish on him, which we see with Psychosis here. Psychosis really wipes everyone out with a corkscrew to the outside, which was my spot of the match. Psychosis seems more motivated here since 1996. Blitzkrieg decides to throw in some limb work and applies a figure-4 to Psychosis so when Psychosis hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, he can't capitalize. Now we do the big, fun finish run with Rey Rey playing to the crowd with bronco busters, Blitzy hits Skytwister and Juvy gets the Juvy Driver, but the last man standing is Psychosis with his top rope guillotine legdrop. It was a really fun and entertaining spotfest, but I saw it as just that a collection of crowd-pleasing highspots. ***1/2

Damnit, I watched the rematch, which was exciting, but does not sound as good as this. I was interested when Guerrero went for the legs of Benoit early, but Benoit just powered through that with a gutbuster and knee lift. He was selling, but it was also clear it was not going to go anywhere. Guerrero was so good at armdrags and really making you feel like he was yanking Benoit off his feet. Tony was good at explaining how useful it is to keep your opponent for his feet to discombobulate him. Benoit's transitions back to offense were simply just too easy. They tease the superplex causing them to be both knocked out but Benoit was up first. Eddie gets a couple nifty spots like hurricanarana and brainbuster, but ultimately succumbs to Benoit. This was a good match, but it was not at the level of their first Nitro match where they must have blown so many people's minds. They were working a good match, but not a match to impress. I need to watch the 11/18 match because that seems pretty well-liked.

Jimmy Hart was certainly a wasted commodity in WCW and I think even in WWF too, but I am not as familiar with WWF TV in the 80s. He was really good in this segment. Holy shit, I thought the lawyer sounded like Kermit too! Definitely a recreation of Hogan/Taker with Hogan/Giant. It would have been funny if Flair won the title at WWIII too.

I have seen this a couple times and it is still weird as fuck. The guitarist is pretty good and I liked the lyrics. Hogan makes no fucking sense at all in these promos. When fucking Randy Savage is more intelligible than you then you seriously need to lay off the cocaine, brutha. What the hell was with the homeless guy?

I am in Camp Loss, I actually would go as far and thought this pretty damn entertaining. I was marking out for the no sell comebacks last night at 2am so it was doing it for me then. I actually thought Flair was pretty strong working on top and was pretty vicious. They have had better matches with each other, but I thought this was one of their more heated and personal matches, but I have never actually seen Great American Bash 1990. Very good Nitro main event and I liked the Luger angle.

WCW World Heavyweight Champion Sting vs Cactus Jack - WCW Beach Blast 1992 Watching the Submit or Surrender match hurts this match because Cactus has retrogressed in just being sick masochist rather a sick sado-masochist. The exhibition of Cactus' craziest bumps makes for plenty of cringe-worthy moments, but ultimately it is Catcus masturbatory indulgence of his weird belief that if he killed himself wrestling earn credibility and respect. Fuck that noise and be a carny. Whereas in 1991, he had plenty of offense to look like a strong threat to Sting. That being said, I still think this is a great match because Sting is just rocking it and really feels like the top star at this point. He is using Cactus' mistakes against him to slowly garner the victory which is always difference against a fucking masochist. I found the early backslide on the ramp to put over the falls count anywhere rules amusing. Sting is actually the first one to make the mistake and eats steel on a Stinger Splash from the ramp to the post. It was not just Jack taking those nasty bumps, but rest assured here they come. Cactus goes splat on the concrete three times on his own moves and then when Sting hulks up Cactus goes flying some more. His head, body and knees just took a tremendous pounding. Sting did look great taking that early licking, but then Cactus hurt himself he muscle Cactus into the railing. In this match, Cactus relies more on bodyscissors when he is not smacking his head on concrete whereas in Submit or Surrender his offense was more focused on hurting Sting to win the match. I actually liked the finish stretch coming out of the Cactus Clothesline a lot. Cactus whacking Sting with chair and caressing it is always a fun spot. Cactus just can't keep Sting down and Sting really feels like a resilient champion. They have a strong exchange on the floor with Cactus not really able to hit a piledriver because he is so banged up from his own stupid shit. It is now a dramatic war of attrition. He goes for the Cactus Elbow for a second time, but he crashes and burns on the cold concrete. OW! Sting takes him up to the ramp the only place they can pay off the stipulation and still have the whole crowd see. Sting gets his receipt chair shot and looks for the Scorpion Deathlock, but Cactus fights and fights and they tumble off the ramp in a really cool spot. Cactus is up first and hits his Double Arm DDT to get his nearfall. Watts certainly liked Cactus. Cactus just sort of walks away from Sting and Sting nails him from behind. The Sting flying clothesline from the ring to the ramp is such a damn cool finish. Cactus' self-indulgent bullshit aside, this turned into a pretty dramatic war of attrition and I loved the finish stretch with a great climax. Sting was just molten hot here and was a perfect blend of his natural energy and great resiliency. ****

WCW World Tag Team Champions Ricky Steamboat & Shane Douglas vs Barry Windham & Brian Pillman - Starrcade 1992 I know I have it has been said before and will said over and over, but man was Shane Douglas horribly miscast as a babyface. Pretty much everything, he did just made me think he was a total prick. The way he sells initially especially the jawbreaker is just so heelish. You want to see him receive more punishment because he you think he is overreacting and is being a chump. A babyface sells to build that sympathy and is fighting through the pain, but Douglas looks like he is feeding for a Pillman hot tag. Towards the end of his face in peril, his selling got better and his hot tag was pretty good (it was silly because Steamboat just had a better one). Overall, the match is just weirdly laid out and the spots that are highlighted seem mundane and the highspots that get the crowd into it are inconsequential. The first time the crowd cared was for Pillman's patented bump to the railing. Pillman had not yet really figured out how to work heel as he was working every face early on and the way the spot was set up was to garner face heat. Next thing you know, Pillman hits his anti-aircraft interceptor dropkick. Windham and Pillman work a really strong face in peril on top. Windham was actually on fire this entire match. He salvaged the early part of the match by coming in bumping for the faces big time and actually worked a fluid heel in peril even though Douglas was too reliant on the chinlock. Windham was kicking spunky Shane Douglas' ass with some great punches and he really chucks him out onto the floor. Now, Steamboat has seen enough plus his blood is boiling from Windham's chair attack when The Dragon & Douglas won the titles. Steamboat gets a measure of vengeance by walloping Windham with the chair. However, it does not lead to the hot tag, It is just another spot and Douglas makes the hot tag off a suplex reversal. It was just so strange that you work a great receipt spot that pops the crowd and it is totally inconsequential. Steamboat is actually pretty fired up for this and is working this like a grudge match, but the problem was he spent too much time on the apron. Before you knew it his hot tag was over thanks a Windham bodyslam. Windham does the HHH Wrestlemania XX on his knees sucking air sell that was just tremendous. WIndham single-handledly dragged this match from a clusterfuck to an entertaining match. Steamboat tags in Douglas for another hot tag. Steamboat tackles Windham outside the ring in a hot moment but I am a sucker for that spot (Paige/Brie did an excellent version of it on RAW, this past week). Douglas catches Pillman with a belly to belly suplex to a pretty good pop. I think this is one of those matches that was so underrated that it has been come overrated. Yes, it has the traditional tag team structure with double FIP, but the layout did not emphasize the strongest spots well enough and also hid Steamboat from the majority of the match when he looked like he came to play. The big positive of this match was watching Windham work a nearly flawless heel performance from the early stooging to a vicious heat segment to desperately trying to cling to a victory. It is always a treat to watch a master work. ***1/2

Anybody else think Cena/Ambrose was surprisingly bad. Like Not mediocre, but actually bad. Horrible chemistry, really awkward, very obviously choreographed, no selling, no transitions and just throwing moves out. On the flip side, I thought Bryan/Zigs far exceeded my expectations. Really nice heated face vs face match I won't argue Nikki is the best wrestler but she is definitely by favorite wrestler on the roster. In a sea of heels wrestling like baby faces *cough* Cesaro *cough* Barrett *cough*, Nikki goes all out as a strong despicable heel. Brie is getting a lot better. This Roman Reigns thing is pretty mind blowing. He has a star making performance at Wrestle-ducking-Mania and this first time you see him in a heatless six man. On purpose or accidental, it is infuriating

I was listening to Staying Alive and I thought to myself "I am a dancing man and I just can't lose" that might be my favorite lyric of all time. Then I thought damn what a great catchphrase that would have been for Disco Inferno. I went to post it in the Comments That Don't Warrant A Thread because it is a comment that does not warrant a thread. I found it was locked. Now I am sad. I hope this post changes this ruling because I saw that thread as a great way to capture my one-off musings. But when you're dancing man, you just can't lose, so Im off to put my boogie shoes on and get down at work.

Also I totally agree with keeping Rusev the fuck away from Cena. Ryback and Wyatt still have not recovered. I am Cena fan through and through but these multiple jobs are killer.
