In truth, there are only three matches on this entire show worth searching out on the WWE Network. One of these is the opening match, although your life won't be better or worse for seeing it. Fairly typical of WCW, the other two also involve Cruiserweight action.
In the second match of the night Rey Mysterio (sans mask) and Billy Kidman team up to take on Kid Romeo and Elix Skipper in the final of the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship tournament. Romeo and Skipper surprisingly pull out the win, and despite the complete lack of psychology and way too many broken-up near-falls towards the end the match is a whole lot of fun.
Halfway through the show Chavo Guerrero Jr. defends his WCW Cruiserweight Championship against 'Sugar' Shane Helms, and despite not quite reaching the heights one would expect it is also head and shoulders above everything else on the show.
Throughout the mid to late 1990s, WCW was a show of past-their-prime stars taking up air-time as the company presented some of the best cruiserweight wrestling in the country. Greed is more of the same, as three good-to-great cruiser matches make up for the dross that the 'legends' provide throughout the rest of the night.
