WR's Screencaps

  Dax Carter vs Derek Bolt (MBW) Brute vs Cason: RW62 (Thunders) Dean Malenko vs Rey Mysterio Jr. My blog recently passed 666,000 views, to commemorate that milestone I've chosen Ave Satani by Jerry Goldsmith from The Omen (1976). Even though it's dark, I think it's uniquely beautiful. Goldsmith won the Oscar for Best Original Score for The Omen.

Dean whips Rey into the ropes but Rey's able to counter into a flip dive or Tope Con Hilo, as Excalibur would say. Rey doesn't have the energy to cover Dean and slumps on the ropes. Suddenly, Rey wraps up Dean in a rolling cradle for a near fall. Dean grabs Rey in a waistlock but Rey flips Dean onto his back and bridges into a pin. Dean kicks out.

Nash notoriously threw Rey headfirst against the side of a trailer "like a lawn dart." Finally Rey had enough and challenged Nash to a match earlier that night, which Nash accepted. Rey ran to the ring and jumped Nash and got a minute of offense. Rey tried for a sunset flip but Nash powered him up and turned it into an atomic drop. Nash clearly loved bullying Rey and soaked up the reaction from the crowd.  Nash followed up with a massive beal, launching Rey over 7 feet in the air. Just like that, Rey was done. Nash posed for the crowd before finishing off Rey with a Power Bomb. Nash humiliated Rey with a cocky pin and then Power Bombed him a couple more times. Suddenly, Konnan appeared on the entrance ramp and came down the aisle. Nash and Konnan had a staredown and then n...
