[2000-11-20-WCW-Nitro] Jamie Noble vs Yang

[soup23]

“I just realized something, that Jamie san is a white guy.” Madden follows up that gem with a Pretty Fly for a White Guy reference. This was a really good junior match for the five minutes they had. Jamie had some good strikes and intensity to mix in with the highspots. Yang is someone I have never thought much of but he was fine here. Jamie hits a big legdrop for a nearfall. Leia distracts Noble and Yang is able to take over. Evan Karagias comes out but he gets caught off by 3 Count. Noble dives on the other members of 3 Count. Noble gets the cover with a quick rollup and 3 Count attacks after the bell. Big brawl to sell the match at Mayhem. **

Satellite headscissors by Noble who then clotheslines Yang to the outside.  Quality flip dive over the ring post out on to him, as Mark Madden says how he’s “pretty fly for a white guy”.  Yang counters the huracanrana with an almighty powerbomb before collecting a chair from ringside.  He doesn’t get a chance to use it though as Slick Johnson snatches it away, so opts to dumps Noble to the outside instead.  Leaping rana from the ring steps by Leah Meow.  Johnson is forced to pull Yang off his opponent and while he is admonishing him Noble with a flash roll up.  A nice exchange between the pair ends with a cradle for a two count.  They trade hard knife edge chops and the crowd are really into what they’re seeing.  Russian leg sweep followed by a guillotine leg drop off the middle for another near fall, Yang kicking out of the cover this time.   Noble heads upstairs but Leah is back interfering, grabbing at his ankle.  Johnson tells her to leave him alone, however the damage is done as that slight delay gives her man the added time to get to his feet.  He snatches Noble and hits a reverse tombstone.  Evan Karagias has seen enough and is out to confront Leah when he’s attacked by 3 Count who take it to their former partner.  Springboard plancha to the outside on to 3 Count by Noble.  Yang tries to suplex him back inside but Noble slips behind and catches him with a sunset flip for the three.  Post-match Noble is jumped by 3 Count and his opponent until Karagias comes to his rescue and they clear the ring.  Madden wonders if he and Noble are now a team or whether they just have common enemies.
