Match # 126: Psicosis vs. Juventud Guerrera vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Blitzkrieg (Nitro 4/19/99) Lucha high spot action, here we come. Juvy was clearly on some stuff during his Nitro run. Watch his shaking entrances. Thug Life Rey Jr, complete with title belt. I’m game.

Match # 123: Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Juventud Guerrera (Nitro 4/12/99) No hype is needed for this match up. They had masks, and now they don’t. Let’s begin.

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 a [...]

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 one [...]

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. For [...]

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 is [...]

Match # 89: El Dandy vs. Juventud Guerrera (Nitro 2/9/98) El Dandy was apparently this great worker I just didn’t know about, so says an internet message board talking point. We’ll check him out here as he takes on the Juice, also known as the” youth warrior”, Guerrera.

Match # 87: Juventud Guerrera vs. Psicosis (Nitro 2/2/98) I’m beginning to feel as though these WCW luchadore matches are like candy bars. They are good single serving sweets, but they don’t really add anything to your diet. They exist to impress you for that moment, and there’s nothing that evolves further from it. I don’t [...]

Match # 81: Rey Mysterio Jr./Juventud Guerrera/Hector Garza vs. Psicosis/La Parka/Silver King (Nitro 12/22/97) Just like match # 80, which was awesome, only we get Garza and Silver King added to the mix for a good old fashion Lucha trios match. There was a time when people were really giving a look at Silver King and [...]

Match # 80: Rey Mysterio Jr./Juventud Guerrera vs. La Parka/Psicosis (Nitro 12/15/97) It’s weird after all their matches to see Rey with Juvy, but with both heels being bigger this on paper looks like a gem.

Match # 66: Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Juventud Guerrera (Nitro 9/15/97) The crowd is tough on them in the opening minute. Rey gets his stuff in, head scissor included, and Juvi manages to miss a drop kick on a prone Rey Jr. But right after we get a power bomb to the floor and the crowd [...]

Match # 60: The Villanos vs. Hector Garza and Juventud Guerrera (Nitro 7/7/97) All these years and I still know very little about the Villanos. I know it’s pronounced with a silent L (Vee-on-os), and I know they are a famous wrestling family in Mexico, but I don’t know much else. This is Villanos IV and [...]

Match # 56: Juventud Guerrera/Super Calo/Hector Garza vs. La Parka/Damian/Ciclope (Nitro 5/26/97) This might be the first true trios match form the luchadores on this set, which has me excited. They’ve got Larry Zbyszko in the booth, which is annoying because he’s just going to be pleased with himself for being ignorant, but they’ve got Mike [...]

Match # 52: Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Juventud Guerrera (Nitro 2/24/97) This is some Lucha-done-right early. Too bad the crowd could care less live. Guess they were all waiting for the NWO to come out.

Match # 44: La Parka vs. Juventud Guerrera (Nitro 11/18/96) The opening to this match is hilarious. Something has happened to Tony Schiavone, so Larry Zybysko is running solo trying to give background on the Lucha stars. It’s like listening to him give his son “the talk”. Priceless.
