2 Cold Scorpio Documentation #1

 

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.
