What a Juvi performance. It's actually been ages since I've watched any masked Juventud and even longer since I've watched any in WCW, but this was him working hyper aggressive and I guess I forgot how fun this pairing actually is. After an early Rey flurry and a plancha, Juvi takes over and basically doesn't relent for the whole eight minutes that follows. The transition was bonkers, with Rey getting catapulted to the floor and Juvi crushing him with a tope suicida, practically landing fully vertical and headbutting Rey in the face. We one and all choose to replay it half a dozen times. Juvi is an offensive machine from here, hitting a huge brainbuster, a legdrop from inside the ring to the floor, a HUGER powerbomb, cutting Rey off in really nasty and interesting ways. My favourite part might've been his Masato Tanaka-style sliding elbow outside the ring as Rey tried to sit up. Both of them even got surly as a bastard with the striking, everything was paced well, it had a nice story of Juvi being one step ahead of Rey, and then the finish was great with Rey just being too dynamic to be shut down completely. This was just about a perfect 10-minute B Show title match. I hope they fly in Michael Buffer for the rematch.
