Matt D Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xkJPWCqx1c Very fun match vs Crash "Mad Mikey" Holly in there, starts about 14 minutes in. Which I may have posted on another day by accident.
The Comedian Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Is Elix Skipper the originator of the Play of the Day/Overdrive/wristlock leg crook swinging neckbreaker?
Jenalysis Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Don't think he originated it, but he was one of the first to use it. Elix was one of my faves no matter his work, we all called him Meowth in college cause he thought he was Lance Storm's mascot. Thought he was cool as hell though.
supremebve Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Between him and Shane Helms, I really thought we were watching the future of wrestling during the last year or so of WCW, but sadly both of their careers kind of peaked as WCW crusierweight champion. Those two guys, while not perfect, seemed like they had all the physical tools to be great, but needed to smooth out the rough edges of their work. I really think the saddest part about the closing of WCW is that their roster was full of guys who could have possibly grown into something, but kind of just disappeared.

I really think the saddest part about the closing of WCW is that their roster was full of guys who could have possibly grown into something, but kind of just disappeared. I actually thought Shane Helms was going to be WCW champ in 5 years in 2000. The fact he was the one WCW guy who wasn't a big star in WCW that got over in WWE says something. His career was really ended by that broken neck.
Web Conn Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 w/David Young vs Ron Killings & Buff Bagwell vs Shark Boy vs Mikey Batts vs Sonjay Dutt w/Simon Diamond & David Young vs Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt & Shark Boy w/Senshi vs LAX
TimLivingston Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Diamonds in the Rough was an awesome tag team. David Young's spinebuster-based offense was tremendous. Elix was really talented. Wish he didn't hang them up as early as he did.
J.T. Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Loved his runs with Romeo as a tag-team and always dug Triple X. I hate TNA work but I love the entrance themes. I think they just comb strip clubs for mash-ups and then just add their own lyrics to the tracks.
J.T. Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I saw this match live. I do not think that the camera is pointing at my drunk ass giving the DITR the bad mouth. I am a huge OSE mark.
J.T. Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I think the Power Twins had like two matches in WCW. Jindrak's basketball gimmick was the WORST, but Elix's sick missile dropkick finisher provides the awesome to cancel out the suck factor.
Patrick B. Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Wish it was on YouTube, but he had a really fun match with Matt not-yet-Sydal in GCW in 2002.
