Mini Complete and Accurate: Scorpio in IWA-MS

The great 2 Cold Scorpio returned to US wrestling after his NOAH run and worked a dozen or so IWA Mid-South matches. It was this killer mini-run where he brought this stiff deliberate style from Japan and mixed it up with the current group of Indy stars. It was something I always loved when it happened and with so much IWA easily available through Highspots and IWTV I figured I would revisit it.

2 Cold Scorpio vs. Necro Butcher IWA-MS 8/17/08 - EPIC

PAS: The announcer tells a story during this match how Scorpio was asking around the locker room about what kind of wrestler Necro Butcher was, is he a highflyer, a technical guy, and the person answered "He punches you in the face." Well Scorp was ready for that kind of match, and is going to fire back in kind. I loved the mini story of Necro working the kidney and midsection, with body punches and even a nice backbreaker. Scorpio is guy who has had a social life, and working his kidneys is a smart move. Scorpio can match your stiffness, he is a guy who both teamed with and wrestled Vader, and he really pops Necro with punches of his own and really violent flip kicks. He finishes the match with a moonsault double stomp right to Necro's cheekbones, which is the kind of thing that can finish a match or someone's life. Necro working indy dream match is one of my favorite things in wrestling ever, and this was a great example of it.
