Sandman vs Konan times 2

Sandman vS Konan House Party 96

I had wanted to see this for years and it did not disappoint. One big thing is the fans really hate Konan. I mean really, really hate him. Creates a great atmosphere when Konan starts playing heel. The match starts with Konan out wrestling Sandman on the mat. Sandman loses it and starts brawling eventually beating Konan to a bloody pulp. This match has the famous image of Sandman caning Konan. Eventually Rey Mysterio tosses Konan a cane of his own, and he canes the piss out of Sandman. They do the Rocky 2 finish. A really good match and it does a good job of building to all the big spots.



Sandman vs Konan 10-06-95


This is from a Best of Fancam 95 comp. This match has more of a traditional face/heel dynamic. Its kind o a beta version of the House Party match. Konan dominating using mat wrestling and Sandman getting the advantage with dirty tricks. Sandman was a top rate heel in 95. But he was so good you had to love him.

Sandman takes a mid match smoke break which gives Konan the chance to attack. He takes Sandman's cigarette and starts smoking. Woman tries to hit Konan with Sandman's cane, but Konan takes it. Konan starts pummeling Sandman. Sandman pokes Konan in the eye. Then Woman tosses him his backup cane. Match is a no contest after both guys hit the ref with canes.
