I watched this for the SC poll and remember thinking it was okay but overrated. Sasuke matches tend to be made by the dives and Credible matches by his bumps. Sasuke hits a sweet hilo about ten seconds into this but then they cut to commercial. They come back and Sasuke is working a control segment on Justin. Jason end sup trying to block a space flying tiger drop to the annoyance of Sasuke who just goes and hits it anyhow. Jason block another dive attempt and then Sasuke ends up hitting his leg on the floor on a missed plancha. Credible targets the leg here and it actually really dramatic as he rips Sasuke's pant leg open beats it to death with chairs, lacks on a nasty looking ringpost figure-four, and then put a chair around the leg and smashes it. Sasuke is crawling and clinging to the ref which really adds to this. Credible ends up squashing his leg with a splash on a chair and tries another but Sasuke moves. He hits a one legged dropkick that actually makes a lot of sense and then goes for a Phoenix splash which he splats on nastily. Credible hits him with the tombstone for the finish. This is a really well put together match and I don't think much of it is missing. Given it's popularity, it really should make the final product.

Justin Credible vs. The Great Sasuke (1/10/98)

 

This is probably the match that made Credible a star in ECW not for the work perse but for the story and the finish. Sasuke fucking up his right knee after missing a plancha gave Justin the break he needed and he worked this over perfectly as he ripped Sasuke's pants open and just destroyed the knee with Sasuke selling like death. Sasuke would eventually make a dramatic comeback but he would miss the Phoenix Splash giving Justin an opening to get the win. The story here was simply great and makes this a easy nomination to me.
