Regal Snuck Into My Room Just to Read My Diary
Lord Steven Regal vs. Dean Malenko 2/7/97 - GREAT
I remember thinking back in the 90s, that these were a pair of guys who weirdly didn't match up well with each other, but I thought this was pretty great (maybe this is an idea like Dave Matthews Band and Welfare Reform which needs to be left in the 90s). This opened with a mat section which was unsurprisingly great, Regal is just a master of doing cool little things in every match, and his maximalist approach mixes nicely with Malenko's minimalism. . Here Malenko puts him in a head scissors and he does all of the these neck manipulations and adjustments to get out. Later in the match Malenko hits a couple of back elbows and Regal adjusts his jaw like they knocked out a tooth. The match ended abruptly in a time limit draw without any real dramatic near falls which keeps this out of EPIC territory, but I need to track down the rest of their matches.
COMPLETE AND ACCURATE REGAL
