Posted November 29, 201014 yr comment_5458881 Corino was pretty great in this, bitching after every exchange, bragging after hitting the most elementary of spots, working his teaser spots on the floor, including a cool one where he acted like he was going to toss Nova into the steel but redirected and tossed him into the ring. Then he danced a jig only to get baseball slid into the guardrail. Nova hits a rewind DDT off of the ropes on the floor that was really undersold, but this is ECW where something like that is regularly a transition move. Cool spot with Nova hitting a backfist of all things off of a reversal and then dragging Corino down by his hair as he celebrates another mild victory. They end up on the top where Corino hits a pretty nasty looking diving bulldog of all things. Nova ends up winning clean with his reverse DDT thing coming off the ropes. This was sort of an oddball match up, the selling was virtually non-existent in spots, and Nova's offense is always questionable, but overall it had a really charming and unique quality to it that a lot of "better" matches lack. I will nominate it on the low end.
December 9, 201014 yr comment_5460107 Steve Corino vs. Nova (2/18/99) - I’ll give credit to both guys for working really hard. However, where I really liked the structure of the Candido-Mikey match, this match had no real structure. It had moments, not a story. Towards the end, with Corino trying to put it away, it got better but I think this can be left off.
February 16, 201114 yr comment_5464669 Nova vs. Steve Corino (2/18/99) Corino was really fun here heeling it up and showed glimpses of what was to come but the match was just there to me as it seemed like it was two guys just doing spots for the sake of spots with no structure like Will said. Good for what it was but not a nomination.
