[2000-04-15-WCW-Worldwide] J.C. Ice & The Frog vs Jung Dragons (Jamie-san & Yun Yang)

[soup23]

Had to do some searching to see Frog is Curtis White who I don't recognize. Jung Dragons are clearly one of the most exciting things happening in WCW right now and I do enjoy the gimmick. Yang and Frog have a pretty good exchange too. JC Ice is the WCW C show MVP and continues to show with each performance he had contributions to make. Him and Frog are only on top here for a couple of minutes, but it is engaging southern style work. JC Ice gets blinded and accidentally boots his own partner. Noble hits a sunset flip powerbomb onto the floor. Wolfie tries the hubcap shot but he hits JC Ice and the Jung Dragons put Ice away with a legdrop/splash combo. Fun match. **1/2

Very fun, balls-out TV match. JC Ice has go tot be one of the most underappreciated guys in wrestling for being able to do a match like this even though it's not how he normally worked in Memphis for most of his career. Highlight of the match was Jamie-san's sunset flip off the apron into the powerbomb on the floor.

Jung Dragons are Jamie-san and Yun Yang, as Kay Hayashi is apparently in Japan. JC Ice mocks the Dragons with some stereotypical Japanese bowing and face pulling, before slapping Jamie around the chops. He ducks a lariat, but Noble comes back with a flying headscissors. A dropkick sends Ice to the floor and Jamie with a somersault senton out on to him. Yang with some knife edge chops to Frog and a one footed dropkick where he flips all the way over and nearly lands on his feet. JC whips Jamie into the ropes, dropdown and Wolfie grabs his ankle from the outside. He steps out onto the apron, however JC causes a commotion distracting Yang and the official, which allows Toad to nail Noble with a legdrop off the top to the back of the neck as Wolfie is holding, and preventing him, from re-entering the ring. Back elbow and a double foot stomp from Ice followed by a double facebuster as they continue to work over Jamie-san. Russian legsweep/dropkick combination. Whip to the corner, JC on the charge but Noble gets his foot up. Missile dropkick off the middle and he’s able to make the tag. Yang unloads on the opposition until Ice is able to counter his punches in the corner with a powerbomb. Frog tries to suplex Jamie from the apron to the outside, however he blocks it with a shot to the mid-section and a sunset flip into a powerbomb to the arena floor (I felt the thud of that one myself!). As the referee checks on them, Wolfie is in the ring and goes to hit Yang with the hub cap but he moves and he clobbers his own partner instead. Rapid fire blows to the gut take care of Wolfie, and the Dragons with their splash and legdrop off the top finisher to JC for the win.

 

Is Frog Toad from NWA Wildside? For a makeshift team, he and JC Ice worked well together and looked pretty seasoned, certainly moreso than XS, who’ve been together far longer and whom I was watching just prior. Yang for an 18 year old is super talented and his style, very much Bruce Lee inspired, is like no-one else. Crazy to think that today he’s only 36! Good little TV match here and PG-13 continue to provide plenty of entertainment on the WCW ‘C’ shows.
