PC: Through the magic of Youtube we will watch an old WWE Velocity match. Juventud Guerrera (past his prime) vs. Paul London (totally neutered by the WWE style at the time). Both are capable of being awesome. Let’s see what happens.
Coach: I vaguely remember this show. Wait. Are you serious? I am going to have to restrain myself from making any additional comments on Juvi coming to the ring on a John Deere.
PC: It’s okay. All the Mexicools used to do it. Paul London kicked ass in Ring of Honor and I always hoped that he would be able to do some damage in WWE.
Coach: This aired on FOX. FOX must have felt like they needed to get in on the wrestling bandwagon. But they couldn’t bring themselves to totally commit, so they went with Velocity.
PC: Juvi was Cruiserweight champ at the time and the title is on the line. I’m honestly not even sure if the Cruiserweight title exists anymore. They start it off with the typical juniors chain wrestling sequence.
Coach: Is Juvi the Sugar Ray Leonard of WWE?
PC: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Coach: The announcer said something about how he used to be a heavyweight but he dropped down to another division.
PC: I wouldn’t trust Stephen Romero. Quick exchange followed by the standoff/respect spot. Next is a knuckle lock that goes down to the mat. Juvi jumps up to the ropes while still in the knuckle lock and blows the spot. I don’t think Sugar Ray Leonard would have done that.
Coach: The Youtube kinda gives away how much time is left on the match. I haven’t been surprised by a kickout yet.
PC: Juvi runs at London and is hit by an absolutely badass dropkick for his troubles. London follows up with a Razor’s Edge attempt that is countered into a rana. They trade power moves. London’s got a ton of snap on his various jump-kicks right now. I still can't believe he never managed to get over even a little bit.
Coach: Juvi hits a badass dropkick into London’s stomach while he was in mid-air. I like Juvi. We need to watch more of him.
PC: Juvi hits a sloppy dragonrana (that made it look all the more effective) dropping London right on his head, followed by a Juvi Driver for the win.
Final Thoughts
PC: Fun, fun, fun match with Juvi only screwing up once. We will be watching much more Velocity stuff in the future.
Coach: I really want to watch the Booker T/Chris Benoit match that was advertised right after this one ended. Just two old guys going at it. I don’t want to see a young Chris Benoit fighting a young Booker T. Promise we will watch old people matches.
PC: I promise.
