Wrath slugs him and starts choking in a variety of positions, just overpowering the kid, but Kaos reverses a whip to the railing and smashes Wrath into the ring apron. Interesting start, as there’s a stand-off in a lockup and the ref has to separate them- Wrath backdrops out of a headlock and drops rapid elbows, but takes a shot and is suplexed for two. Kaos is in silver gear I haven’t seen before, and Wrath has a white top and black shorts for his singlet- Wrath is MUCH taller, but Tenay correctly points out their body weights have gotta be pretty close. * WOOOO!!! Two hallmarks of WCW- Kaos in singles matches on D-shows and Wrath on his mini-Goldberg run! Though this is shortly after Nash halted it.
Rating: 1/4* (the blandest match you’ll ever see- just two guys throwing ’80s offense and punches until one guy won)
No flourish, no “Yeah!”, no nothing- Even Jim Powers knew how to connect more with an audience than this! At least Prototype knew to argue with the ref, but didn’t show any other heel mannerisms. MAN, who taught Vick how to show character? Because I can’t recall seeing a blander, more blank-faced guy out there. He comes out with a clothesline, but Prototype ducks and hits the Protobomb (backdrop suplex to side sit-out powerbomb) for three (4:44) shown. Slingshot elbow gets two, but Vick goes into the corner. Vick throws punches to crickets, and hits a belly-to-belly suplex for two. Spinebuster gets two, but Vick gets a jawjacker after Cena argues with Jackie over the count. Punches, chinlocks, suplex… god this is boring. Prototype stomps & chokes away (“I know I got five!” he shouts to Jackie- did Cena inspire Bryan?), then calls some spots loudly on-camera (boy, sure glad he fixed THAT).
Vick gets a spinkick for two, but Stinger Splashes onto nothing and gets clotheslined. Vick lands on his feet from a hiptoss… but just does another headlock. We’re joined in progress, both doing headlock-into-shoulderblock spots to eerie, dead silence. Prototype’s in blue & silver shorts, and Vick’s in black shorts, and is actually taller than Cena, I think- just lankier. * Yes, this is a very rare match between John Cena and Scott “Sick Boy” Vick, back when Vick was in developmental. “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka in 1993 (yes, Snuka was around EVEN THEN!)! A very “WCW Squash Match” as Lash Leroux goes up against Tommy Rogers of The Fantastics in 2000! And we end things with another WWF match, as Virgil gets fed to “The Narcissist” Lex Luger, shortly before his repackaging! Kenny Kaos! Also more of my “Essa Rios” series, as he takes on Crash Holly in early 2000! The Repo Man vs. Well come look at one of those reasons, as he faces OVW’s Prototype (a young, even more roided John Cena) in a Dark Match on RAW!Īlso today, we’ll take a look at the DRAGON KID of all people making WCW TV, as he takes on Psychosis! Then some WCW Saturday Night goodness as it’s Wrath vs. Welcome back to more Dream Matches! So if you’re a fan of Sick Boy, you probably know the legend of him almost getting a big WWE push with the “Katie Vick” storyline, until he was cut loose for less-publicized reasons.
