[1999-08-19-WCW-Thunder] Rey Misterio Jr vs Lenny Lane

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Last few minutes. Lane wins the cruiserweight title in what was probably a good decision, considering that Rey hadn't really treated the belt as anything important for months. Pretty decent action, but it wasn't anything special when I watched it in full.

Good to see WCW put the title on someone new. It didn't work but it was worth a chance. The title was pretty much on deaths door anyways.

This was nice to see Lenny win the belt but Rey feels lost without the mask and hot tag division now and Lenny and Lodi together has mainly been amusing skits up to this point.

There's some pretty good action here, mixed in with some rather loathsome spots including Johnny Boone getting trapped in a corner with Lenny and acting like Ace Ventura after he surmised that Finkle was Einhorn. Lenny looks pretty good as a worker, even if he doesn't sports-entertain very well. In the end, as much as I like Rey I approve of titles being moved to *somebody* relatively fresh.
