soup23 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Malenko gets attacked by Malenko on his way to the ring. Jericho is wearing the Juvy match throughout the match and he pounds down on Dean. Jericho gets a suplex and pins him yelling come on baby. Malenko makes his comeback and a leg lariat gets a nearfall. I guess Lee Marshall was replaced on this Thunder? Malenko locks on the cloverleaf and we have a new champion as the crowd pops big. Malenko keeps pounding on Jericho after the match and takes off his mask to reveal Lenny Lane. Jericho comes out and beats up Malenko and Lane and locks on the lion tamer. Is any promotion in history better at the mask gimmick surprise as WCW? Fun stuff. (*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 This was really good because Lane looked so much like Jericho. They had the fans fooled, who started with a "Jericho sucks" chant. Before this Yearbook I probably hadn't even thought about Lenny Lane for one second this decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I always loved this angle. And kudos to Lenny Lane for doing such a great job wrestling like Jericho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Just like the La Parka angle, they cleverly cover up any possibility of a guy being exposed while doing the entrance--here, Lenny Jericho jumps Malenko in the aisle. Lane does an adequate enough job of passing for Jericho and has everyone fooled, and does a good imitation of the arrogant-cover pose. He taps to the Cloverleaf in short order, but Malenko's apparent title win is cut short as he's leveled from behind by Jericho, who even pops Lane just because he can. A fun angle and Jericho is easily the best and freshest part of the entire WCW roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravJ1979 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Fun angle. Jericho just keeps his stock rising in 1998. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
