[1999-08-21-ECW-TV] Steve Corino vs Jazz

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Last few minutes. I've talked about the WCW aesthetic before and this definitely looks like a WCW Worldwide taping from years earlier. This is worked similarly to Luna vs Stevie Richards a few years earlier. Francine runs in and does some damage to Corino and we get studio Bronco busters on him and Jack Victory. Tajiri shows up post-match to attack Dreamer and mist the women. Taz comes out just as the show goes off the air.

I guess this was the precursor to what we now know as intergender wrestling. This was alright but I just couldn't take it seriously. However, the building they are running makes ECW look big league.

Corino is still not looking strong at all. The finish here was fine with Francine coming in but overall I was disappointed in the way most of this was presented. Tajiri still has a cool vibe with the mist and that was the highlight with the crowd chanting for Taz. I wonder why they were so hasty with Tajiri vs. Taz at Heatwave as they seem to be setting it up as the big feud for the future.

I still wish Corino could be a bit more of a physical threat rather than just a schemer. Jason's around, after all. Under the circumstances this is okay action, but the Tajiri push seems a bit late after he was definitively vanquished at Heat Wave, and the buried-in-the-Japanese-flag stuff is something out of 1986 if not earlier.
