14	[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blitzkriegwcw_1469.jpg]]
15	* BeyondTheImpossible: In one of his first matches on Nitro, Bobby Heenan (who, remember, was a heel commentator) said with amazement "I wouldn't have thought it was possible, but this guy's even faster than Rey Misterio, Jr.!"
16	* CoolMask: See the image to the right.
17	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Prior to his proper TV debut, WCW had taped what they called a "''Festival de Lucha''" that would have aired on Creator/{{Telemundo}} as WCW's answer to WWE's ''Super Astros'' show. The event never aired. Blitzkrieg was in two six-man tag matches and won them both.
18	** In his first WCW appearance, Blitzkrieg teamed with fellow [=SoCal=] wrestler Super Dragon. In an interview he gave years later, Super Dragon described how when they got back to the locker room, Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera, both highly talented and respected workers, approached Blitzkrieg and ''started marking out over how awesome he was''. Now ''that's'' an impressive debut.
