Rey Mysterio's best Frankensteiner

[peterp21]

Pre-roid freak, pre-destroyed knees Rey was unbelievable. I haven't seen any of his Mexico stuff or his ECW stuff, but just his 1996 WCW stuff was ungodly. I can see how it wrecked him physically by the time he was 25 though. Sad to say Rey was shot by 1999.

Why 2 Rings?



[peterp21]

@ErwinDHP This was the Fall Brawl PPV, which always featured War Games as the Main Event. The concept of War Games was 2 rings covered by a giant steel cage.

[FlaccidSssnake]

Fucking sick

[xxxBulldawg99]

west coast pop

[mg2012yt]

can someone explain me the 2 rings, please

[JushinJosh]

Brain modestly marking out.

[aaronyule8]

Rey is better than Sin cara

[deathkinggodfather1]

@aaronyule8 was, now he's a bit old but he used to be insane

[aaronyule8]

@deathkinggodfather1 TBH i still think Rey is better i mean Sin Cara has been in WWE for how long now and has been injured by botching moves 3 times

[gambitrocks]

I wonder which ring was safer to take bumps on, WCW's or WWE's?

[jasall18]

pwned

[douangdaraeric]

1 word unnessisary!

[Tubewings]

This was from Fall Brawl 1996.

[DragonballNGTeam]

@Thewwelover1234 yes it is isnt it?

[frankenslammer95]

@Thewwelover1234 ur not the original Thewwelover1234

[144church]

I think Rey is even on steroids now,everyone just gets bigger once Vince signs them.

[dwiilaster]

@144church he's a little fatter now, that just comes with age. with rey's small size and high flyer style i don't honestly think steroids would do him much good.

[JohnCena4438]

Rey is the best WWE Superstar and always will be! Thumbs up if you agree

[ONEWAYLEEWAY]

Sin Cara start taking notes kid :P

[Enigma71]

I never really got the reason why he had to do a backflip to get the the other ring to springboard twice...

[GWRevolutionTV]

the cruiserweights was THE reason to watch nitro

[newyorkyanks22]

impressive as fuck

[puffykilled2pac]

Back when Rey still worked Lucha style working the left arm.

[Congiggity25]

this is why WCW was able to keep up :D but they fucked up....

[lildominicanboy23]

2 rings?

[eishiba10]

just wait rey will fall off the ropes one day.

[bilal91230]

2 ring ??

[finkle1874]

thats disgusting!!!! what an athlete

[kont213]

that was an dragonranapin!

[DybbukAtroxic]

@kont213 no it wasn't...not at all. It was a Double Springboard Hurricanrana and the difference between a Frankensteiner and a Hurricanrana is that a Frankensteiner doesn't end with a pin and a Hurricanrana does. The "rana" part of the move actually means pin. A Dragonrana is where the attacker jumps does a front flip before landing on the opponents shoulder and then does the hurricanrana.

[CROFlash1]

Not Frankensteiner,it is Huricanrana!

Because Frnakensteiner doesn't end with pin!

[gambitrocks]

@CROFlash1 Good point, I just put that to pay homage to Scott Steiner.

[lennex88]

@gambitrocks he would punch you in the face for dishonoring his move...

[gambitrocks]

@lennex88 Hahahaha

[hbkWWEuniverse]

@gambitrocks ähmmm, it ís the west coast pop

[socialistinterceptor]

@CROFlash1 West Coast Pop, I would say.

[DudeAlex21]

@CROFlash1 FRANKENRANA!

[CROFlash1]

@DudeAlex21 no definitely Huricanrana

[ManMuffin94]

@CROFlash1 it was the wear coast pop, if you want to be really pedantic.

[CROFlash1]

@ManMuffin94 not really WEST coast pop is like falling on your opponent from top rope and this is definitelly Huricanrana

[ManMuffin94]

@CROFlash1 falling on the opponent is the Dropin' the dime

[CROFlash1]

@ManMuffin94 well there are many names for the same move

[deathkinggodfather1]

@CROFlash1 thanks, i finally know the difference

[RagingSovereign]

REY MYSTERIO WWE CHAMPION

[rockfite]

its actually a Drangonrana.

[spinemelter2000]

@rockfite A dragonrana is where you do a front flip in the air before bringing down your opponent with a huracanrana.

[jvlivs2]

Classic!

[Sicnalbtif]

2 rings was War Games where the cage goes over both rings. 3 rings was World War 3 battle royal

[Sweetchinfrogsplash]

Why did they have two rings?

[gambitrocks]

@Sweetchinfrogsplash Very good question, I actually have no idea. I think it was just a creative concept. They also had 3 rings for the Battle Royal in WCW War Games. For the 3 rings I think they did that because they needed to fit all the wrestlers in different rings and also the Battle Royal differs from the Royal Rumble. They all start in the ring at the same time, equal chance. If you find out why they had 2 rings please let me know.

[trakas35]

@gambitrocks it was a special venue, and quite the creative one too, but as for the 3 rings that you mentioned, it was an event called "World War 3"

[JVitolo]

@gambitrocks This might have been an earlier version of War Games. I know they did something like this when the Four Horsemen were taking on the nWo...two rings surrounded by a giant cage. You could freely travel between the rings, but the smart move was to stay in the ring that was furthest from the ramp.

[tboysmashing]

@gambitrocks THEY HAD TWO RINGS FOR THIS SORTA SHIT , no , i have no iea actualy.

[MrQwerty2355]

@gambitrocks It was for the war games PPV

[resincoatedlungs]

@gambitrocks

It's for War Games, later in that show al the rings will be covered in a cage for an epic elimination tage team match.

[DybbukAtroxic]

@gambitrocks @Sweetchinfrogsplash there are 2 rings because of the War Games match but it is not a battle royal and it was not its own ppv. War Games was the 2 Ring Cage Match that took place at WCW Fall Brawl. The 3 ring Battle Royal was called World War 3, though well done on calling it a Battle Royal and not a Rumble since there is a difference. :)

[joekoe97]

@gambitrocks Thic could have been from War Games and they hadn't put the cage down yet.

[idarks1d3]

@gambitrocks it was actually for their "wargames" concept that was held annually at their Fall Brawl pay-per view, a cage would drop down over both rings and it would be 2 teams of 4 or 5 members and they would enter alternatively, in more modern terms, its what Lethal Lockdown is based off of

[DhunamiCE]

@gambitrocks there were 2 rings at this event because it was the Fall Brawl/War Games. There were 3 rings for World War 3.

[CAWGregoryBlack]

@gambitrocks The two rings was for WCW's War Games. Throughout a lot of the PPVs, the wrestlers would move from ring to ring and it wouldn't be like they left the ring.

[MaxisMama1]

@Sweetchinfrogsplash old school

[ngn00]

@Sweetchinfrogsplash Fall Brawl War Games always had 2 rings. World War 3 had 3 rings

[hsfightclub]

@Sweetchinfrogsplash war games

[bobbymathews]

@Sweetchinfrogsplash the NWA territories used to use a double ring setup for certain events--they called it a two-ring, triple-chance battle royal back in the day. if memory serves, WCW just re-used this concept for that PPV.

[DhunamiCE]

@Sweetchinfrogsplash there were 2 rings at this event because it was the Fall Brawl/War Games for the cage match main event. There were 3 rings for World War 3.
