This bout was a show-stealing, high-flying encounter between two of the most exciting young luchadores in the world—Rey Mysterio Jr. and Juventud Guerrera—contesting the WWA World Welterweight Championship at Big Apple Blizzard Blast in front of an enthusiastic ECW crowd. From the opening bell the match moved at a blistering pace, with both men trading lightning-quick exchanges, arm drags, hurricanranas, and other inventive maneuvers rooted in lucha libre tradition blended with ECW’s extreme style. They battled to the floor and back into the ring, with moments like Mysterio’s baseball slide and headscissors, Guerrera’s springboard wheel kick and powerbombs, and frequent near-falls keeping the audience fully engaged. In the closing stretch, Rey countered Guerrera’s high-impact offense—including an attempted Splash Mountain—into a decisive hurricanrana for the pinfall victory, successfully retaining his title. The match packed intense athleticism, risky spots, and dramatic counters into a short but memorable contest that helped elevate both competitors’ reputations in the U.S. independent scene.
