Juvie

Wow, I suck. Sorry I haven’t posted in forever. Actually, I was working on a big writeup for H2 wrestling for their first show, which I was planning on attending. It was funny and informative and it was going to rock. Then the company went out of business. Sucks to be me.

Rayo de Jalisco Jr. [c] & El Dandy & Hector Garza vs. Vampiro [c] & Fuerza Guerrera & Juventud Guerrera (12/8/98)

Rundown:

Rayo: Still the same
Dandy: Same, actually in WCW at the time
Garza: Same, in WCW also, wearing lWo trunks
Vamp: Still has his dreads here
Fuerza: Same
Juvie: This is after he lost his mask, and before he put on a bit of muscle.

Garza actually wears a Zorro outfit to the ring, which the ladies seem to love. Rayo and Vamp seem to have some sort of issue here.

Primera Caida: A lot of yelling and jaw jacking starts us off. Finally we get Rayo and Fuerza. I never realized how tiny Fuerza must be, because Rayo looks like Andre the Giant next to him. Vamp jumps Fuerza from behind the rudos take over. Weird spot as Vamp hits a superkick, we get a crowd shot in slow motion, and then Rayo is back on his feet. Vamp’s now having his way with Garza until Rayo decides it’s his turn for a sneak attack. Juvie and Fuerza come in and start flailing away at Rayo, until Rayo steps to the side and they blindly flail away on each other. Garza and Dandy come in to clean house, Garza getting Fuerza with a standing moonsault and Dandy punching out Juvie with an armbar. (4:43)

Segunda Caida: We’re back with father and son beating down Garza. Hey, Juvie did some crotch chops! Garza manages to escape and tags Dandy. Vamp gets in the ring for the rudos, but Dandy wants Juvie, dammit. Vamp’s drawing some great heat. Juvie tags in and he and Dandy work an awesome little sequence that sees Dandy come out on top. He tags in Rayo, who does a chop, then tags out to Garza. Garza goes to pin Juvie after a flying clothesline, but Fuerza breaks it up, and it looks like the beatdown is on. That is, until Vamp comes in and goads Rayo into the ring. He gets the advantage, rips Rayo’s mask, and sends him to the post outside (no blade job, sadly). Now Juvie and Fuerza run in and now we’re got a rudo beatdown. Juventud gets Dandy after the old Billy Kidman powerbomb reversal, while Fuerza pins Garza after an Iconoclasm of sorts and a senton (7:23).

Tercera Caida: Vamp takes some time to yell at the announcers. Rudo beatdown continues, this time concentrated on Rayo. He finally makes a comeback against Vampiro and splats him with a tope. Garza clothesline Juvie to the outside, while Dandy takes out Fuerza with a piledriver (hello, DQ?). Majistral cradle eliminates Fuerza. Juvie’s back in and he and Dandy work another great sequence that sees Juvie get revenge with a Juvie Driver (hello, DQ?). Garza comes in and blocks the Juvie driver, only to get felled with the Kidman DDT. Juvie goes up top, only to be knocked off balance by Garza. Garza attempts a frankensteiner, but gets pushed off the top, but rebounds by dropkicking Juvie when he tries to come off the top. Garza locks on the Gorry Special, and when Vamp comes in Rayo takes him out with a cross body. Vamp retaliates with a mule kick low blow for the DQ (6:02)

Vamp gets a few more stomps in on Rayo, then everyone yells at each other on the mic. And that’s it.

Match went a bit longer than your usual trios match, and some great heat and some fine wrestling. Juvie was awesome in this. I wonder if he and Dandy ever had a singles match? I’d get that.

Back soon, I hope.
