[2000-11-15-WCW-Thunder] Lt. Loco vs Cpl. Cajun vs Elix Skipper vs Rey Mysterio Jr vs Billy Kidman vs Kwee Wee

[soup23]

A lot of action on the outside with the ladies and The Wall gets them all banned from ringside. Action is too quick and frantic and we get a cute ending with Meng helping Kwee Wee. I liked Tank Abbott with 3 Count but this strange bedfellows pairing didn’t have the initial charm that did. Beyond that, I hate seeing all of this talent get pinned and eliminated in a match like this in sub two minutes. ¾*

A six person, four corner elimination match, with the winner going on to face Mike Sanders for the Cruiserweight title at Mayhem.  Between Paisley, Tygress and Major Gunns there’s are an awful lot of nothing at ringside for this.  Major Gunns grabs Chavo’s leg as he runs the ropes which causes Paisley to confront her to see what she’s playing at.  Gunns slaps her across the face and there is more emphasis on the women than the men so far.  Paisley stalks Gunns around ringside who then slaps Tygress too, although blames Paisley for it.  Charles Robinson leaves the ring to try and restore some order and I’m praying he just ejects the lot of them.  Now Sgt. A-Wol is here!  He’s next to be slapped by Major Gunns, but just screams in her face (no man on woman violence here now).  Thankfully Doug Dillinger is out and escorts all this dead wood to the back so that we can hopefully now concentrate on the match without any further distractions.  Nice suplex variation by Loco.  Skipper tags Crpl. Cajun forcing the partners to go against one another.  Instead they beel him back into the ring and put the boots to him as the commentators talk about a new aggressiveness that has recently been adopted by the M.I.A.  Robinson has no luck in trying to pull them off and after both shove him back, he disqualifies the pair of them.  Kwee Wee tries to steal a pin on the unconscious ‘Primetime’ but that wally Kidman breaks up the pin.  Its elimination rules you fool!  The Filthy Animals work together against Kwee Wee until Skipper nails Kidman with a missile dropkick, landing on his feet in the process.  He then whips him towards Kwee Wee who gets the pin after pancaking Kidman to the mat.  Rey looks great for all of thirty seconds until he’s next eliminated, ‘Primetime’ nailing him with a springboard spinning heel kick as Kwee Wee holds him in a full nelson.  We’re down to two and to be fair, the two you would have thought least likely at the onset.  Belly to belly by Skipper for a near fall.  ‘Primetime’ tosses Kwee Wee to the outside when down to ringside walks Jim Duggan.  He’s quickly followed by Meng who clubs old ‘Hacksaw’.  Skipper grabs Meng’s afro but, while he’s not paying attention, Kwee Wee with a sunset flip and he’s off to Mayhem to challenge for the Cruiserweight championship.  Meng and Kwee Wee hug and it looks like we’ve an unlikely alliance as he then puts Kwee on his shoulder (like Savage and Liz) to celebrate.

Rey looked great in the brief moments that he was involved and I like the idea of them giving Kwee Wee the win here as it’s both new and unexpected.  Still, given the talent involved this was extremely disappointing with how rushed the match was and how weak and soft the eliminations generally were.
