I liked this. Lynn was running Candido into the ground with head lock takedowns early and Candido took over with Francine help and ended up reeling off some good offense on Lynn. Lynn's comeback spots were a lot of fun. Candido did the bit where he wrestles with half of his ass out and was doing his punch drunk sell. He ends up taking back over but gets caught doing the Fargo Strut and hit with a bulldog. Lynn rattles off some offense but Francine and Shane keep helping out Candido. Nice finish with Candido missing a diving elbow and then sitting forward on a sunset flip ala Bret v. Bulldog. Not a lock for the set but something I think should be considered.

"No Gimmicks Needed" Chris Candido vs. Jerry Lynn (1/9/98)

 

Good back and forth action to start here and we get Candido working with his ass hanging out of his tights which got the crowd away from chanting show your tits to Francine. Lynn looked really good here on offense and Candido was of course good at taking punishment but Lynn has to also deal with Douglas & Francine which catches up with him allowing Candido to win. This was good stuff and I think a low-end pick is fine.
