[1999-07-05-WCW-Nitro] Eddy Guerrero and the luchadores

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Eddy claims stolen property and wants the masked luchadores lined up and unmasked so he can see who stole his wallet. All the luchadores line up in a room that just happens to have a place to measure height on the wall. Eddy makes jokes about how ugly they all are but I love the "I thought that was you!" with the hug. He goes through the entire lineup and hasn't found the culprit. I know some people loved this but I don't get the point of it.

Entertaining but totally pointless. I thought it was funny how La Parka makes Eddy ask him to take off the mask in Spanish before he'll do it.

I liked how La Parka kept asking Doug Dillenger if he spoke spanish and Doug just kept talking to the guys in English. Who was the Cheetah Kid cause I know that wasn't Rocco Rock?

Looked like Cheetah Kid was Prince Iaukea to me. I agree that this was slightly humorous but didn't serve a purpose at all and could have been cut. Still Eddy has some memorable vignettes in the Georgia Dome.

I wonder if this was a rib on Doug Dillenger. I mean, that's not a compelling reason to put it on TV, but he got the blame for a rash of locker room thefts around this time including most of Bret Hart's leather jackets.

For posterity: Dave reported that Bischoff wanted *all* the luchadores to unmask, and this was supposed to kickstart that. The camera was even originally supposed to show all their faces, but the dreaded plans changed.
