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 # 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 # 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 # 71: Psicosis vs. Eddie Guerrero (Nitro 10/13/97) Eddie is the U.S. Champ here, I believe. They never really say but from the glimpse of the belt I think it’s the U.S. title. Eddie is your cocky heel here. He outsmarts Psicosis at the bell, but Psicosis come back and hits a nasty senton [...]

Match # 53: Rey Mysterio vs. Psicosis (Nitro 3/17/97) I use the word sprint from time to time to explain a match that’s front-ended with a lot of cool spots, moves, and/or story because it’s been booked to go under ten minutes. This match was not a sprint, it was a run, and I mean [...]

Match # 50: Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Psicosis (Nitro 1/6/97) Lucha viewing is such a tricky deal with me. I respect Lucha as a great dance of wrestling style. However, if they go to fast it doesn’t have time to sink in and just looks like a collection of (high) spots that don’t hurt and [...]

Match # 46: Steve Regal vs. Psicosis (Nitro 12/16/96) Psicosis is out in a great white costume. Regal is the TV champ. A hot crowd there. Bischoff and Ted Dibiase are doing NWO heel commentary for this one. This is either going to be a complete train wreck or a neat meshing of styles. With [...]

Match # 41: Eddie Guerrero vs. Psicosis (Nitro 7/22/96) This is a rematch from earlier in the set (Match # 39) so we’ll see what the difference is in this match. Can’t say the first one had too much personality, other than Eddie as the big face and Psicosis being super Lucha. Psicosis is rocking [...]

Match # 39: Eddie Guerrero vs. Psicosis (Nitro 7/8/96) I’m realizing as I get older and see more wrestling – perhaps too much – that while I respect the art of the Lucha style, I’m not a huge fan of Lucha. I like moves within the style, but as an overall style I like less [...]
