Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Lex Luger by Stinger1981

Rey Mysterio vs Lex Luger Nitro January 1999

This was from right after the NWO Elite was formed. They took out the lWo and demanded they disband/ Rey had been forced to join by Eddy Guerrero. But he refused to stop wearing the LWO colors on principle. Refusing to be bullied. So he vgets targeted by Lex Luger.

Luger is really dismissive of Rey. Giving him a chance to surrender. Before Lex has to hurt him. Rey refuses and Lex sucker punches him. Nice dick move when the ref demands he hand over the mic he keeps switching hands before handing it to the time keeper.

Luger tosses around Rey at first. It's an interesting contrast. Because despite being a power wrestler, since 96 he has generally wrestled bigger guys. It has also been three years since he was last heel. So it seems like he was removing some rust.

Rey slips in offense and Lex has this surprised selling. Flailing around like he can't believe Rey can compete with him. He would get the advantage back with a cheapshot. Rey would do these desperate flurries of punches whenever Luger goes for his mask.

Kevin Nash comes to ringside. This leads to a run in finish when Rey is winning. But in this case it made Rey look stronger since Luger had to be saved.



Bill Goldberg vs. Lex Luger by Stinger1981

Lex Luger vs Goldberg October 99

oldberg got powerbombed by id earlier in the evening. Something happened to Elisibeth. Jeff Jarrett. This was the start of Russo's crap in WCW so hard to care. But this was a good tv main event.

Goldberg meets Luger in the aisle and beats him up around the ring. Luger does a nice job bumping and selling for Goldberg. He gets on offense and hits some nice looking clotheslines and running elbows. Being 99 WCW the run ins start.

Sting comes to ringside and takes out Goldberg with a baseball bat. Bret Hart makes the save. Nice bit where Bret swings the bat and Sting ducks causing it to shatter on the ring post.

Luger catches Bret from behind and puts him in the Human Torture Rack. Cool looking spot when Goldberg spears Luger while he has Bret in the hold.

Finish was a mess but nice work from Luger.
