Nash has Rey's mask on his head. Since it won't fit on his head anyway, Rey can have the mask back. Nash saw what Hall did when he watched the tape back and the NWO has always been about fair play. Rey comes out to Konnan's music and is all business and wants a piece of Nash, who is making fun of him and taking him lightly. Rey ends up getting the better of Nash for a few sequences and I have to give Nash credit for working this perfectly and selling this as a big deal. Rey ends up pinning Nash on a fluke and Nash does a great job selling the shock. This was a great segment and it doesn't make up for Rey losing his mask and it's also laughable to suggest this is some shining example of Nash's selflessness, but it's still a very good segment that set Rey up for a one-month run where he was taken seriously as a top guy. A one-month run. That's why he lost his mask.

 

This is followed by the debut of Konnan's second music video. I will give him respect for sampling "More Bounce To The Ounce". I think WCW knew they should feature Konnan and Rey, but they didn't really have any clue where to go with it to make them actual draws.

I think this match should have been what the hot tag should have been in the tag match. A great example of being selfless for a bit can provide something great for everyone involved. Nash saying Liz wouldn't wear the mask at first says a lot. Nash sold the shock well and this was a fun match. *3/4

 

Konnans video was well done. I don't know how endearing he looked to certain parts of the region (Im grouping Alabama where I lived at the time) but it was effective to a projected audience.

This really should have been what happened at SuperBrawl. Either pay a king's ransom to Liz or Luger or somebody to undergo a head-shaving--it's not like they weren't wasting money in a million other areas--or just find a way to welch on the stip if no amount will get the job done. Rey could have been a made man. Instead, even though this is a really fun match and segment and a rare instance of the heel Wolfpac getting shown up, for Rey it's about 50 steps back and then a few steps forward.
