Raven & Kanyon vs The
Villanos Flashback of the Week
| [3/6/03]
|
Great music for Raven ... no intro for the Villanos.
However, we are told that they are numbers four and
five. The announcers, however, can really care less
about the Villanos.
Raven sits in the corner, talking about loyalty and
how The Flock left him. He then predicts "someone will
pay" and attacks the Villanos.
An ironic comment...
20 seconds later, Raven tags in Kanyon, who sets up
Villano #4 for a powerbomb. Raven grabs his neck for a
powerbomb into a neckbreaker. Funny how the announcers
can't tell the Villanos apart.
Raven falls first, then Kanyon. The Villano comes
crashing down on his neck and literally folds in half.
The crowd gasps and the announcers get flustered.
In a rare break in character, Raven huddles above
Villano 4, holding his head and talking to him. Kanyon
stands above, looking concered. The ref (Nick Patrick)
gets down as if to make a count then gets up, calls
for the bell and waves to the back.
Raven still cowers over the injured Villano. Villano
#5 runs in, kicks Raven then goes after Kanyon. They
brawl until Kanyon sends him to the outside. Raven is
still holding Villano's head when the announcers make
reference to Raven being a "prophet" in predicting
that someone "would pay."
The announcers fumble to make Raven's obvious concern
for the Villano appear evil. Zbyszko wonders what evil
Raven is "telling him."
Raven and Kanyon finally leave minutes after
the WCW officials hit the ring.
The announcers still don't know which Villano
is injured.
In a weird turn by WCW--a company that would
do it's best to avoid showing blood or injuries--the
replay of the botched move is then shown from four
different angles. The crowd gasps everytime the
Villano hits the mat.
The camera cuts to the flustered announcers.
Clapping is heard then we see the Villano walking away
from the ring.
This was turned--albeit briefly--into an
angle with Villano #5 seeking vengeance against Raven.
It was the only time any Villano was used in
a WCW angle.
