Posted August 30, 201015 yr comment_5455191 Holy fuck I have no clue where this came from. I have been really disappointed in Furnas up to this point, but this is a really great match and while Scorp is the better guy in it, he really does hold up his end well. Early on they work some parity mat exchanges, chop battles and even shoulder block standoffs that work really well to establish that these guys are on equal footing. Scorp finally takes over off of a really good Furnas bump over the ropes to the floor and he really unloads on him with a big offensive run. From there the story of the match becomes Scorp trying to put Furnas away with his trademark stuff, Furnas barely escaping and making mini-runs and Scorp cutting him off and trying to finish him off. Lots of good shit in here including the Scorp staple of the escalating top rope move as he runs through a top rope leg drop, a twisting splash, a moonsault, et. to try and get nearfalls though not all in succession. He also hits a really sick diving knee in there that I don't recall ever seeing out of him. Furnas brings his powerslam, a nice lariat and the release overhead German which I thought Scorp took better than most. Really loved Scorp cutting off a Furnas run by blocking his rana with a brutal powerbomb. 450 was the finish. You would like to have seen a big Furnas dropkick, but other than that we got all of the staples of both guys offense in a really well laid out match that built better than virtually anything you will see from ECW. Easy nomination.
October 21, 201014 yr comment_5457478 Doug Furnas vs. Too Cold Scorpio Easy Nomination - FanCam 10-12-96 - Early on, both guys look solid but neither really getting control. Scorp eventually takes control and hits some big moves (powerbomb. Leg drop). Furnas fights back with his own arsenal of moves until Scorp counters with a powerbomb to regain control. Really hot stretch run with both guys just throwing bombs. I need to watch the RVD match again but I think I liked this much better. Scorp was visibly frustrated after underestimating Furnas and finally puts it away with the 450. Solid nomination.
November 10, 201014 yr comment_5458207 2 Cold Scorpio vs. Doug Furnas (10/12/96) The mutants started chanting boring very early as these two fought for control and it was annoying as shit. I was hoping Furnas would've fucked those guys up as this was good stuff. This was a match where both men pulled out almost everything in their arsenal trying to put the other one away in front of a crowd that didn't really give a fuck which sucks. This was a damn solid match and moves forward easily.
