[2001-02-10-WCW-Worldwide] Shannon Moore vs Chris Harris

[GSR]

On paper this looks like a squash, but Mike Tenay does a grand job on commentary giving purpose to the match and saying how Harris is looking for a full time contract with WCW and victory here may very well earn him one.  Tony Schiavone talks about how 3 Count has broken down as there’s no more Evan Karagias, while Shannon Moore and Shane Helms are wrestling exclusively in singles competition at the moment.  Shannon gets a couple of near falls but is caught when attempting a tip up and ‘the Wildcat’ dumps him over the top rope and to the outside.  Pescado by Harris before throwing Shannon into the guard rail and back into the ring.  Two count after a clothesline that turns his opponent inside out.  He telegraphs the back drop though and Shannon grabs him by the hair slamming him backwards to the mat.  Harris reverses the Irish whip and catches Moore with an inverted atomic drop.  He whips Shannon into the corner but he runs up the turnbuckles and nails ‘the Wildcat’ with a corkscrew senton that gets him a two.  ‘Rocker dropper’, that Schiavone laughably calls the ‘Bottom’s up!’ and Harris again kicks out of the cover.  Swinging neckbreaker by Harris.  Moore with a float over into a sleeper, from where he falls to the mat taking Harris with him (a ‘sleeper drop’ almost) and that’s enough to get him the win.

A couple of nice bumps from Shannon Moore in here (the one to the floor and then off the clothesline), but this was all a bit too much ‘your turn/my turn’ for my liking.  The WWF is definitely leading the way when it comes to the C-show stuff, although props to Tenay for his commentary here.
