Rey is out on crutches and has declined surgery. He has a torn ligament. Rey seems a little nervous cutting a promo, but Rey obviously doesn't need to be a great promo to be effective as a babyface. He just needs to seem sincere, and he does. Konnan kicks his crutches away before other Psicosis, La Parka and the Villanos make the save. Lucha guys vs NWO seems like a weird missed opportunity in some ways, even if the lucha guys got squashed.

Reading this it makes we wonder why they never did a latino section of the nWo. The could have Konnan recruited three of the more noteworthy rudos (like Psicosis) and have them feud with Rey and a bunch of tecnicos.

Konnan was more effective as a spokesman and an angle-only worker than he was in the ring. Yeah, too bad it didn't lead to the luchadors not getting better used. I didn't remember Rey had been hurt in 97 too. He was out every year in WCW with a knee injury, no wonder he's in the shape he is now.
