123 kid turned into a crackhead these days. He had everything together back in the day. Now he's sniffin coke, addicted to pain killers, and heroin. It's sad. he had so much promise back then. That's what money does i guess.
IRS almost decapitated 123-Kid with that Write Off. Credit to Waltman for selling it the way he did there. Almost made it look as nasty as a Clothesline From Hell, which came years later.
it looks like his shoulder is up (it was close, listen to the sound of the ref's hand hitting the mat while watching the kid's shoulder) BUTTTTTTTTTTT thats one of the many things that was better about wrestling back then ie. now en days a close count is always 2 and never 3. i remember a few pins from back in the mid 90's that were like this. I also love how the wrestling characters were more creative back then (no way would there be an IRS or Doink or someone named the 123 kid now en' days)
This was very realistic, as The Kid couldn't win all of his matches. WCW did the same thing with Rey Mysterio upsetting big men, but made it unrealistic by having him win every week.
This was a very surprising win because IRS had just come off being in a tag team with Ted Dibiase and 123 Kid had been pushed on tv since his win against Razor Ramon, so logically, everyone expected the Kid to win this match to keep momentum going, especially asthese two did not have any build up before their Summerslam match.
I'm looking back on this now and I'm starting to realize I like Waltman best as the babyface 123 Kid instead of the sleazy Syxx/Xpac/6-pack character he became
Damm,is it just me or did the kid not want 2 job 2 IRS?Notice how he doesn't really sell the write-off finisher so I guess the click always had this mentality.

the finisher is called "the write-off." Mike Rotunda wrestled back when a flying clothesline was a decent finisher. still a great wrestler.
