Day 22
ECW Fancam Dallas Texas 7/28/00
Steve Corino vs. Rob Van Dam
RVD being over as hell while Pantera plays in the background is a great visual. There’s a lot of playing to the crowd and messing with Cyrus early on because again RVD was hot as hell and Cyrus was more or less the Antichrist to these fans. RVD controls early on, which is awesome because RVD, especially prime RVD, is a blast to watch. Corino takes control after Cyrus interference and we have our pace for this match.
The match is kept at steady pace. Not too slow, not super fast. It’s the sweet spot that makes a good but basic match. Corino takes him working over Van Dam and antagonizing the crowd and Bill Alfonso. RVD still gets his shit in of course.
Like I said, a good match but very house showy. Neither exerted too much energy and honestly I don’t think they needed to on a live show. Both were over in their respective ways so playing to Corino and Cyrus being so hated while showcasing RVDs big spots worked really well. I’m sure these two faced off on TV which probably made for a more exciting match but as it stands not bad.
