Ran across this match randomly earlier today and it seemed a little strange to me. When I saw who the participants were, I was anticipating basically a lucha match, non-stop highspots and flips. As you'll see in the video, however, what actually happens is very different.
Amusingly, Dragon looks freakin' huge compared to Rey, and just manhandles him. This may as well be a squash match for all the offense Mysterio gets in, despite being nearly fifteen minutes long.
I believe the commentary mentions that this is the third Mysterio-Dragon match in WCW. I haven't seen either of the two which preceded it. I can't imagine they're just like this. (I also either haven't seen or don't recall clearly any of their subsequent encounters, though I have to figure they're also much less one-sided.)
Any thoughts on this match? Do you like the power/impact-oriented way it went down, or would you rather have seen these two put on a real air show? Did you enjoy seeing Dragon pound on Rey, or do you think it got monotonous and Rey should have gotten more offense?
