Worst in the World: Fall Brawl '98's Five Matches of Doom

Usually, when I do entries in the Worst in the World, I'll cover a single match. Sometimes , I'll bust out a double feature . One time I took on three matches .

It's Mongo, so it's got to be fun. Let's get into this. The two trade wristlocks to start before Mongo hits a bodyslam, followed by Wright rolling out of the ring to consult with his valet Debra. Wright gets the better end of the lock up and starts stomping away on Mongo's arm before Mongo turns the tables and knee drop...
