Match 4 - Eddie Guerrero vs. Test (Champion) (European Championship)
Trending
Test got a pop on his entrance. At what other event has this ever happened? This shows just how rabid this crowd was. He started the match like a charging bull, hitting a powerbomb early on and controlled the early running before comically getting his foot caught in the ropes, leading to a sarcastic cheer from the crowd once the combined efforts of Guerrero and the referee prevailed in freeing it.
The match then descended into a series of dramatic slams with Test hitting a well-executed tilt-a-whirl slam before Saturn entered the fray with possibly one of the most complexly named moves in history – the ‘Moss Covered Three Handed Credenza.’
A bit more 'to and fro' before Dean Malenko entered the ring pulling Test's leg out of the ring. Guerrero won the match with a title shot to the head of Test.
Nothing spectacular but a solid outing for both of these wrestlers: Guerrero was, and always will be one of the finest in-ring technicians of the era and it was interesting to see him pull a good match from Test, who was fairly green entering this match-up despite being the Champion.
Good match but ultimately nothing special, especially as it was sandwiched between two of the best matches on the card...Spoilers.
