[2000-08-30-WCW-Thunder] Rey Mysterio Jr & Juventud Guerrera vs Mark Jindrak & Sean O'Haire

[soup23]

What a lame ass promo from O’Haire saying someone had lost his or her children. Stevie is pretty hilarious on commentary making fun of them. Konnan has a nice line about that the only suckers he sees is Jindrak and O’Haire. These two teams together are awesome with the Animals bumping like crazy. Juvy getting elevated from the floor to inside the ring looked awesome and Juvy/Rey flash offense was also well done. Just a bunch of fun overall and the Animals have went from insufferable to really cool overnight turning face. The Animals pick up the win evening the series here. Bring on more. **1/2

Jindrak and O’Haire hand Dave Penzer a piece of paper which says that the following match, signed by the booking trio of Nash, Steiner and Jarrett, will be against the ‘Filthy Animals’ for the World tag team title. After Konan asks where his dogs are at and the rest, O’Haire takes to the mic and says how they’re going to make the match a little more fair, so invites Disco Inferno to join the ‘Filthy Animals’ team. Tilt-a-whirl slam by Jindrak on Disco and a springboard clothesline where he practically flies all the way across the ring. Disco reverses the Irish whip and a reverse atomic drop followed by a spinning neckbreaker. Springboard leg drop to the back of the neck by Rey. Quebrada off the middle, but Jindrak catches him mid-air and plants him with a tilt-a-whirl slam. Real nice take on ‘the Thrillers’ double leap frog spot, where Jindrak doesn’t jump and Rey just runs into him. Tag to Juvi after O’Haire fails to connect on a dropkick. Springboard spinning heel kick and that Lucha wheelbarrow into a bulldog (which Konan gives the correct Mexican name for, but I missed as others were talking at the same time). O’Haire counters the punches in the corner with a sit out powerbomb, before a double team powerslam on ‘the Juice’. ‘The Thrillers’ then drag Juvi to the floor for no other reason than to give him their double beel over the top rope and back in. O’Haire misses a splash in the corner and Jindrak sails over the top rope to the outside after Juvi ducks under a clothesline. Pescado by ‘the Juice’ and a double team leg trip/clothesline by Disco and Rey for two. After a heel kick drops Disco, O’Haire heads up top for the ‘Seanton bomb’ but Juvi swipes his legs out. Spinning top rope rana, leg drop off the top to the groin by Rey and ‘the Animals’ retain.

 

You see why Sanders does the talking for this lot after the promo that O’Haire cuts on the Filthy Animals at the start of this! Can’t really fathom his logic either of giving them an additional man on their team in a title match, unless he considered it would be easier to pin Disco than it would Rey or Juvi. Good match and that variation on ‘the Thrillers’ double leap from spot is a really cool addition to their arsenal. The pair of them here continue to build on that six man tag from last week where it finally looked like they’ve ‘got it’.
