25 WTF Moments From WCW Souled Out 1998

22. LuchaMania

One of my favourite things about watching these old WCW shows is the different styles of wrestling that are presented, from old school US slow-paced stuff to Japanese influenced matwork all the way along to the Mexican Lucha Libre style. Kicking off Souled Out was a Lucha Libre tag match with eight completely different personalities. Lets run through them just to show the diversity that was available: *On the top rope on the left hand side we have Silver King, a high-flying veteran lucha star who dresses a bit like a cowboy and struts about the place in his stetson. Why not, eh? *Lizmark Jr, is in the silver mask acting as more of your traditional luchador in a mask with tights. The second generation star concentrates on showing off his in-ring skills. *There's Juventud Guerrera in the purple and black. uvy had a swagger to him as he came out to the ring and was a tremendous high flyer in his day. *Super Calo is the strangest lucha wrestler I've seen on a WCW show. He wears one jean leg down to his ankle and the other rolled up to his knee, he also has a mask with shades over it and a backwards cap to top it off. Mental. *Chavo Guerrero, who we all know from WWE, TNA and Lucha Underground, is the standard wrestler in blue trunks with no mask. *Psychosis is all in black from his mask and gear to his jacket. His aerial assaults in WCW always made him stand out from the pack. *La Parka is the 'chair man' of WCW because he never goes anywhere without his trusty friend made of steel, and is known for his iconic skeleton-based gear. *Finally we have El Dandy who, before Bret Hart was singing his praises on Nitro, was a slightly tubbier version of Ricky Steamboat but with a lucha twist.
