Nasty Boys V Ken Kendall & Frank Rose
It's time to step back to the mid-1990s now as we drop in with Missy Hyatt and her spell managing the Nasty Boys to WCW Tag Team gold.
Strutting to the ring with the Nasties, Missy exudes ultimate confidence. Following the introduction of the hapless Kendall and Rose, Hyatt then proceeds to provocatively show them the title belts and verbally intimidate the opponents before the opening bell has rung - an excellent move in putting Ken and Frank in their place.

Taunting her opponents pre-match |
Upon Missy leaving the ring, the match commences with Jerry Sags in first with Kendall. A brutal attack by the Nasty leaves his valet applauding enthusiastically, before she points at Ken and launches a verbal volley in his direction.

A double backdrop by the Nasties then leaves Kendall face-down on the canvas, giving Hyatt another opportunity to verbally humiliate the overmatched wrestler. With Sags leaving the ring, Brian Knobbs then decides to give the young Kendall a closer encounter with the Nasties' valet.

Sensing her opportunity.... |
At 4:58 in, Kendall is taken over to the ropes right in front of Missy, with Knobbs choking his opponent to the objection of the referee. As the official then becomes occupied again with Sags, the blonde valet then senses her opportunity and at 5:02 executes a hurtful slap to the face of Kendall as Knobbs holds him securely in place. The valet then turns away gloating, with the referee oblivious of her intervention.

The slap lands with force and accuracy |
Kendall continues to be beaten up by Knobbs, as again Missy can be seen humiliating him from ringside. Somehow, Kendall manages to escape his predicament though with a kick to the face of Sags, tagging in Frank Rose.

Hyatt celebrates even before the count has started |
Soon enough, Rose is also in deep trouble, with Knobbs hurling him to the canvas to set up the trademark Sags elbow-drop finisher from the top turnbuckle. Even before the winning move is executed, Missy can be seen celebrating, carefully putting her sunglasses back on and counting the 1-2-3 with the referee as the win is clinched. As a final gesture, Missy shoves the referee out of the way as he lifts the arms of the Nasties in victory.

Pushing the official away to celebrate |
As a valet performance, this one rated highly. Vocal throughout, Missy made absolutely sure the Kendall and Rose knew from the outset that they had no chance of troubling the Nasties. The constant pointing and mocking reinforced their inferiority as Knobbs and Sags dominated. The faceslap was the clear highpoint though, delivered out of view of the referee and leaving Kendall writhing in pain. An excellent performance from Missy, leaving the Nasties' opponents drained of confidence and feeling the accuracy of her right hand.
