There was a lengthy dance off segment at the beginning of this was actually especially funny because of the lack of audio. Scorp finally gets pissed off at Bubba's attempt to break dance and attacks him from behind which of course leads to Bubba making a quick comeback and Scorp rolling out to the floor. Back in and Scorp establishes dominance and it's evident pretty quickly how awesome this match is going to be. Story of match is basically Scorp kicking the shit out of Bubba when he can get the advantage and Bubba telling him to bring it and Bubba bringing it himself only to come up a little short. At one point Scorp punts Bubba viciously and busts him open which makes stuttering Bubba even more sympathetic. There was a great spot early where Bubba eats a few clotheslines and screams at Scorp who then decks him with a running clothesline putting him flat on his ass. Also really loved Bubba taking a full length ricochet bump off of a really sick top rope dropkick from Scorp. Scorp was great working the crowd in this with taunts and man alive his big spots are awesome as he absolutely creams Bubba with a plancha and a couple of moonsaults. I also loved his big bump into the crowd as he seemed to hang in the air for effect. Gotta give it to Bubba too for really milking his moments in this hamming it up after hitting a powerbomb and having to be coaxed into going for the cover, running to the wrong rope after getting Scorp down and having to reposition leading to a missed splash, et. I've long thought that Scorp may have been the best in the States in 96 and this bolsters his case.

OK, how did I miss this last night? Anyway, the dance-off in the FBI match would have been better if it went down like this. This may be the best singles match Bubba Ray has ever been apart of. Dylan hit the highlights so I'll just add that this must go on the set. Bonus points for not using a chair inside the ring.

I like 96 Bubba a fair amount, but there is no way in hell he has a better singles match than this. I could see an argument for this as a top ten U.S. match in 96. Not saying I'd make the argument, but I could see it. No way Bubba has another match that good - unless it's with Scorp

The shit before the match was hilarious as Buh Buh stuttered on the last name not the first then Scorp slapped him which made him go normal and they went at it but in a dance off with Buh Buh telling him he could outdance his black ass anyday. Scorp does his signature moves to start then Buh Buh follows with his own so Scorp steps his game up forcing Buh Buh to go to the John Travolta Saturday Night Fever dance moves. Scorp then goes into breakdancing mode which Buh Buh tries and does okay until Scorp just kicks the piss out of him in the back of the head. Scorp is awesome here as the dickhead heel that works over the big young dummy hitting some great spots on offense and on defense especially when Buh Buh launched him off a backdrop all into the fans at ringside. Buh Buh juiced hardway on the eye but it doesn't deter him as he goes on the offensive hitting some big spots including a Buh Buh bomb that looked vicious for a nearfall. Scorp would then jack his jaw with a superkick then hit a beautiful moonsault for the win. This was loads of fun and is a testament to Buh Buh who was only wrestling for a few months but he hung with Scorp who at this time was fucking awesome. Easy nomination.
