During his short-lived World Championship Wrestling career in 1995, Sabu faced a few cruiserweghts here and there, one of which being Jerry Lynn who was masked for some reason and only wrestled under his initials. I'm not sure why Jerry Lynn had to keep his identity so secret while in WCW but it was a damn good thing he was wearing a mask for this match!
Reason being that Sabu was accompanied by his Uncle, The (original) Sheik for this match at Halloween Havoc and The Sheik had a little trick up his sleeve. That trick being a fireball shot right in JL's face, an effect that no one except The Sheik himself (if that) knew was going to be performed!
Along with the fireball incident, this match is also known for the fact that The Sheik breaks his leg after being on the receiving end of Sabu's asai moonsault. Sabu also hit Lynn but for some reason The Sheik , Aladdin sword and all, happened to walk right behind Lynn as Sabu was coming off the ropes.That's why you see The Sheik wobbling around the ringside area as he sets for the fireball immediately following Sabu's unbotched win.
This match is surely a gem.
