Eddie in with the over the top splash, but Santo comes in and backdrops Eddie and dumps him. Man, Barr was so smooth on his moves, his death was a terrible loss to wrestling.

Ric Flair wanted to do it, and would have likely had a good match, but WCW put a stop to that by having Flair lose a retirement match the previous month. Octagon & El Hijo Santoįunny story about this PPV… it was supposed to be a combination of WCW talent and AAA from Mexico, but because of the way WCW wrote their contracts, nobody was obligated to appear here so most decided not to. Mask, 2 out of 3 falls, elimination style where both guys have to be pinned to lose the fallĮddie Guerrero & Art Barr vs. *** Peppy match, pretty much a squash for the Guerreros. Three-way brawl, the RPMs accidentally clothesline each other and Chavo hits a moonsault for the pin. Mando tries to save but that goes nowhere. Cactus snapmares Chavo and elbowdrops him for two. All of them had the tools to make it big in the US. It makes me think they wasted their careers in Mexico and Texas. Head-scissors takedown into the hold, but the brown-haired RPM tags in, only for the Guerreros to kill them and we have a pile-on. The blond RPM tags in and the announcers can’t bother to tell the difference between them so why should I? Chavo in and he armdrags him down. Tag to Mando for a Indian Top Deathlock, which is something I’m shocked Cactus has the flexibility to take. Tag to Hector in the ring and he splashes Cactus on the leg, then tags to Chavo who gets a shot in. Cactus follows and gets his ass kicked and backdropped on the concrete by Chavo. Wristlock but Cactus slugs out of it and dumps Mando to the floor. Tag to Cactus Jack and a tag to Mando who gets a sunset flip for two. RPMs tag quickly but Hector gets a head scissor and wipes the floor with both. Hector starts with one of the random RPMs, I honestly don’t know which is which. Strange choice for the DVD but Eddie picked the matches himself. I’m not reviewing the feature because… well… it’s fucking depressing anymore. I’ve actually had this disc sitting around for years and never really got around to watching it.
