Four corners match, rules then are two men in the ring and anyone can tag anyone else.  The former Jung Dragon partners are starting us out.  Yang backdrops Noble out onto the apron and then snaps his neck across the top rope.  Shannon is in, cuts off the dive but gets caught with a headscissors, the camera almost missing it.  A Skipper spin kick wipes out Yang and he follows that with a corkscrew pescado to Noble.  I don’t know why they bothered explaining the rules earlier, as this is Lucha Libre rules, wrestlers coming in and out as they please, so completely different to what was initially said.  Shannon counters a powerbomb into a ‘Bottom’s Up’ but Noble is there to break up the pin.  German suplex on Shannon and this time its Skipper doing the saving.  Elix with a Dragon suplex.  Yang gets crotched upstairs and Noble with a high impact face first suplex on Skipper.  As he crawls along the mat, Shannon goes to leap off his back for a ‘Poetry in Motion’ type move but slips.  That is quickly forgotten about as he takes a trademark nuts flat back bump on the ringside mats after Yang had thrown him clean through the ropes.  Dive train sequence ending with an insane Yang Sky Twister Asai moonsault, Yang being the one to have started it all in the first place with a super high plancha from the top turnbuckle.  Shannon gets folded out onto Skipper by Yang, who then gets pulled to the outside by Noble where he gives him a tombstone piledriver.  Elix crotches Shannon across the top rope, starts to tightrope walk across it but Noble gives him a shove and he crashes to the floor.  Moore’s attempted DDT is blocked, however moments later he hits a ‘Bottom’s Up’ off the top on Jamie Noble for the win.

Really good for the short time they were allotted.  Guess Noble isn’t in line for push after my thoughts on Thunder, surely he would’ve gone over here if he were.

Decent opener for a grouping of guys that besides Knoble have some shaky moments. Most of the spots were hit cleanly and this didn’t overstay its welcome. WCW continues to do a good job in displaying most of these cruiser guys and they are becoming recognizable and distinctive amongst themselves. Another surprise finish with Moore winning. **1/4
