Match # 151: Elix Skipper vs. Billy Kidman (Nitro 2/12/01) One last go around with Kidman getting a solid cruiserweight opponent. Kidman wasn’t always phenomenal, but his best stuff on Nitro and even Thunder is a lot more impressive than people remember. Meltzer, Keller, and Alverez don’t keep the Kidman love alive, if they ever [...]

Match # 124: Billy Kidman vs. Psicosis (Nitro 4/12/99) I’ll skip the lengthy preamble. I dig Billy Kidman’s high end Nitro stuff, and I always thought Psicosis held up his end of the bargain during the 90s. This looks like a fun match on paper.

Match # 122: Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. and Billy Kidman (Nitro 3/29/99) Four of my favorite cruiserweights ever lock it up in a tag title match. And the best part? They’re in Canada!

Match # 119: Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Billy Kidman (Nitro 3/15/99) This is a match-up I’ve been waiting to see on the set since both men have worked well with Juvy, but didn’t seem to cross paths. This is Hip-hop Rey Jr., not the masked luchadore. Kidman is YOUR cruiserweight champion.

Match # 114: Eddie Guerrero/Juventud Guerrera vs. Billy Kidman/Rey Mysterio Jr. (Nitro 12/28/98) This is, on paper, is a great match. Kidman works awesomely with Juvy, and Rey works well with both Juvy and Eddie. So all that has to fall into place is Kidman matching up with Eddie, which I can’t imagine would be [...]

Match # 112: Juventud Guerrera vs. Billy Kidman (Nitro 11/16/98) This is maybe the fourth time these two have had a match on Nitro, and I’ll be damned if they aren’t all great. Probably the best cruiserweight pairing that goes forgotten in the wake of Malenko-Rey, Rey-Juvy, or more likely Rey-Psicosis. I’m excited for this [...]

Match # 110: Juventud Guerrera vs. Billy Kidman (Nitro 10/26/98) This match really worked earlier in the set on two occasions (look up tags for either guy on the site), so I’m pumped about a rematch of these men.

Match # 107: Billy Kidman vs. Juventud Guerrera (Nitro 9/14/98) A rematch from earlier on the set with two guys who stylistically pair up well together. I’m excited to see this one because I remember being very impressed watching it live at the time, and I haven’t seen it in the decade-plus since that night. [...]

Match # 99: Juventud Guerrera vs. Billy Kidman (Nitro 5/25/98) Had Kidman come up in this decade he may well have been Matt (Sydal) Bourne. As it happened he was languishing in WCW until he got put into Raven’s Flock. From there I thought his career picked up at the level of his talents. Juvy [...]
