5. Justin Credible vs Mikey Whipwreck 11/21/97
This took place at a house show a week before November 2 Remember 97. All around it is probably a better show.
Justin Credible had just joined ECW and he is feuding with Mikey. This match might be one of the best sub ten minute matches I have seen. Watching this and Justin vs Spike Dudley from a December 98 house show. This is more of what the WWF Light heavyweight division should of been. Instead of trying to ape WCW with luchadores and Japanese stars when WCW had almost everyone locked up. Go with guys like Mikey, Justin and Spike. Smaller indy guys who do simpler matches and have more personality with some guys like Taka mixed in. Enough with the editorial here is the match.
Starts off with this criss cross section and Mikey hitting some arm drags and slaps an arm bar on Justin. Justin lays some good looking knees into MIKEY TO break it. Tosses him into the opposite turnbuckle but Mikey reverses and Justin tries to leap over Mikey but nobody is there and Mikey lays some punches into Justin.
Another criss cross section ending with Mikey hitting a tilt a whirl head scissors followed by Mikey clotheslining him over the top rope with Mikey hitting a plancha on Justin. Mikey picks up Justin and whips him into the guardrail but Justin reverses. Justin charges him only to get kicked in the mouth. Mikey bulldogs him off the rail into the concrete.
Mikey is the perfect guy to work with Justin Credible. Because Mikey is small enough you really buy Justin getting heat on him. But Mikey is just big enough he can beat up Justin with it looking credible. Pun not intended.
Back in the ring Justin hits that spinning facebuster ddt he does. Props Mikey up In the shattered dreams position and hits a running dropkick into Mikey's crotch. Followed by that sitting powerbomb out of the corner Justin does. Props Mikey on the top and hits a hurracarana.
Now he puts Mikey into a chinlock. Mikey fights out of it only for this neat sequence where JUStin tries a sleeper but Mikey does this reversal into his own only for Justin to hit a jawbreaker. They get up groggy and Justin hits a enziguri.
Justin charges Mikey in the corner but Mikey ducks and Justin gets crotched on the top rope. Mikey hits a bulldog. They do another criss cross that ends with MIKey hitting the Stunner. I like how Mikey does it with splits.
Mikey goes to the top and misses a flipping senton and Justin hits hat's Incredible for the win.
