[2000-08-12-WCW-Worldwide] Rey Mysterio Jr & Disco Inferno vs Matt Stryker & Chris Harris

[soup23]

God the Animals are so lame doing their wassup thing to a dead crowd. Go ahead and feel the shirt Tygress.....Thats Enough. Unibrow Stryker is someone I had no idea did WCW spots. At least Konnan on commentary is talking about New Blood Rising which is more continuity than I had imagined. This is a pretty fun throwaway match with Inferno matching up well and Rey looking good again in 2000 but completely wasted in this role. The Bronco Buster being called the stocking stuffer by K Dawg on commentary. The Animals pretty much dominate throughout and Rey picks up the win with a legdrop to the balls of Stryker. *1/4

It’s unibrow Matt Stryker! The Filthy Animals little catchphrase routine gets more cringe worthy every time I see it. Stryker gets the better of a shoulder tackle and then drops Rey with a high knee. He backdrops him over the top rope, however Rey lands on the apron and tags Disco. Drop toe hold by him, followed by a springboard legdrop to the back of the neck from Rey. Reverse atomic drop on Harris and Disco with a snapmare for two. Harris blocks the hip toss and counters with a swinging neckbreaker. Dropkick and Rey is forced to break up the pin. Stryker with an inverted bodyslam (slamming Disco chest first), only to miss the moonsault as Disco moves out the way. Les Thatcher, Heartland Wrestling Association reference from Mike Tenay when talking about Stryker! Hot tag to Rey who levels Stryker with a spinning heel kick and then takes out Harris with an ‘X-Factor’ as he continues to steal moves from X-Pac. A pair of ‘bronco busters’, or ‘stocking stuffers’ as Konan calls them, and Rey with a legdrop off the top to the groin of Stryker for the win.

 

Not a full on squash as Harris and Stryker got in more offense than I expected, but not far off.
