Eddie Guerrero & Mr. JL vs Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko - WCW Nitro 10/23/95

Apparently Alex Wright was supposed to be Eddie’s tag partner. Eddie/Benoit coming off their classic banger but this is nothing special. They get plenty of time about ten minutes but it is pretty pedestrian. Benoit/Malenko play nominal heels. They do heel miscommunication on the floor. Benoit dives on Malenko and then Eddie Alley-Oops JL on the heels. Malenko hits JL on the ropes to set up heat segment. It was a fine heat segment. Benoit and Malenko hit their usual high impact offense. The JL transition to hot tag was weak just a back elbow after a lot of good high impact moves. Eddie had a good an Arm Drag Headscissors takedown, then in a bizarre moment Alex Wright trips Malenko so JL got the Victory Roll. Weird finish takes this down a notch. Heatless and pedestrian. 
 

Pillman DDT Eddie on the ramp. Unprovoked attacks are the lamest way to set up new feuds. I assume this is the start of Loose Canon but still lame.
