I was thinking I had seen this before, but I was mistaken. I had seen the match from the next ECW show, but not this one. This is a very good match. It's Rey and Psicosis doing their showcase match, but this is the best version of that match I can recall seeing. We'll see how the J Cup holds up. The crowd really gets into the highspots from both guys, which still look really impressive even by today's standards.

"Psicosis with a modified tiger bomb, of sorts." Uh, yeah, Joey, I think in wrestling parlance that's known as a "power bomb." Anyway, that aside, Styles' snarky comments are actually pretty amusing here. This is the fall-out-of-bed good match between the two, though Rey uses a chair to block a Psicosis tope in an effective crowd-pleasing spot, then performs a death-defying springboard into the second row after Psicosis had tried to dodge an earlier dive attempt. Historically I always thought these guys were at their best at Bash at the Beach. We'll see when I get there if that's actually the case.

Describing this as a total spotfest wouldn't be unfair. A well executed one mind you with spectacular high flying. For the fans at the time it must have been jaw dropping to see all these new moves. The Luchadores gave a taster of what the could do and it was lapped up.

Rey Mysterio Jr vs Psicosis - ECW 9/16/95

Rey vs Psicosis never gets old no matter how many times you watch this and I have watched this a lot. You wanna see how to get over on your debut match watch this. This is the Touring match that they would perfect at Bash 96. They are about one week away from their greatest match ever in AAA, a match I need to see.

i think my takeaway from this viewing is that Psicosis feels like the star here. Amazing bumping. I can never get tired of watching him go ass first into things. Great high impact offense. Great rudo charisma. I thought he outshone Rey Rey until Rey started popping off ranas like nobody's business and that catapult on the apron still pops me. Rey gets to shine on the dives: stopping Psicosis' with a chair shot and then the massive dive from top rope into the crown which sealed the deal that these two were over like rover. They hit this out of the park. There were some things to tighten up. They got themselves over. There is a key difference between getting your moves over and you over. These two got their characters over that's what makes this great. It is the Tom & Jerry of Pro Wrestling. ****
