[2000-10-01-ECW-Hardcore TV] Mikey Whipwreck vs Psicosis

[soup23]

You can tell that these two are in the twilight of their heyday and the big spots like the Psicosis rana don’t hit like they should but overall this was enjoyable as a seven minute junior style match. Sinister gets involved on the outside with a back rake and Mikey picks up the surprising win with the super Whippersnapper. **1/4

These two are off their game early as there are a couple of ugly miscommunications until Mikey catches a kick and plants Psicosis to the mat.  He counters the quesadora with a waistlock and Psicosis throws some back elbows as he looks to escape.  Mikey ducks the third and hits an inverted atomic drop into a Russian legsweep.  Floatover DDT by Psicosis but this is really disappointing so far.  The leaping huracanrana that follows doesn’t do much to change that thought.  As Mikey heads to the floor, Psicosis with a big running dive over the top rope out onto him.  He appears to be in a bad way, however still has enough about him to snatch Psicosis and dump him across the metal railings before picking up a near fall after a flying clothesline.  The attempted backdrop is telegraphed and Psicosis with an up kick followed by a spinning heel kick.  He sits Mikey on the top turnbuckle but that turns out to be his downfall, Mikey elbowing him in the mid-section and hitting a ‘Super Whippersnapper’ for the win.  Post-match Mikey offers Psicosis his hand, which is accepted, and as they raise each other’s arms they’re jumped by the FBI.  The fans aren’t even watching this, looking towards the entrance way waiting for the run in.  They don’t have to wait too long, Roadkill and Danny Doring sprinting to the ring as this segues into an impromptu tag title match.

A disappointing match with the two being way off when it came to working with each other.  The ‘Super Whippersnapper’ is a cool looking finisher but I think it’s something that should be used sparingly and on big occasions, such as in the World tag team tournament final, not something to be busted out in a nothing match like this.
