Match Thoughts: This is the earliest match I can currently find of Leon White. It is funny that aside from the falling powerslam, his style here is completely different then his style just two years later as Vader. That is understandable since here he was still training and finding his own rhythm, but if I didn't know it was Vader I wouldn't guess it was the same person with moves like the sunset flip, chops in the corner, and the back elbow strikes. Curtis put up more of a fight then I thought he would, but the ending was conclusion and it was a good showing for the new wrestler. Score: 5.5
