Fit Finlay vs. Too Cold Scorpio (CWA 11/27/1994) - EPIC
Scorpio is really a
phenom. No matter the environment, he rules. This is all about
Scorpio unloading his ridiculously high end flying offense and paying
for it by clashing with the archaic euro rules. Finlay is at his
usual heel game here, but the match is all about Scorp. Even with him
rolling out high spots, there are fun bits of simple wrestling such
as the spot where they struggle over a backslide as the crowd is
roaring. This basically opens as a long Scorpio shine segment before
Finlay takes out his leg. Finlay taking out a leg is fun and it sets
up the great last round where Scorpio sells the fuck out of that leg.
He hits a gorgeos moonsault and basically has Finlay beat but the
rules won‘t allow it and he gets carded. Really dramatic and well
executed stuff, and a very satisfying dream matchup.
Tamon Honda vs. 2 Cold Scorpio, NOAH 3/21/2003 - GREAT
This is a matchup
you can‘t really wrap your brain around. Obviously both guys are
good, but Honda is very different from Scorpios usual opponents. But
they mesh really well. Scorpio is ultrasharp as usual, busting out
some great looking strikes. Honda was great in the early minutes,
constantly going for chokeholds and suplexes, which Scorpio sells
great. You get the sense that Honda makes up for his lack of mobility
by just glueing himself to his opponent. We get Scorpio working over
Hondas leg, doing some cool sharp legwork and Honda having some great
selling. Honda. Honda countering a superkick into the Olympic Hell
was really choice, as was the finish. Short but good, and felt like
it could end at any time.
