  1. That's two great battle royals in the course of a week or so. Awesome stuff here Low Blow.
  2. You could always try to put together a few weeks worth of the footage we have in some kind of thematic order.
  3. (Originally airing in Spanish on WAPA Channel 4 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This broadcast is translated to English where applicable.) The opening montage featuring highlights of Carlos Colon, Chicky Starr, Invader 1, Invader 2, Invader 3, Abdullah the Butcher, Hercules Ayala, Bam Bam and Dutch Mantell plays. Carlos Colon doing a cartwheel and coming up fists at the ready leads to the WWC logo as the music ends. NWA and Capitol Sports Presenta Los Campeones De La Lucha Libre Con Tus Luchadores Favoritos De Fama Mundial Rickin Sanchez and Hugo Savinovich sit smiling at the commentary desk in Coliseo Municipal Pedro Rodriguez Gaya De Catano. Rickin: Welcome to another week of World Wrestling Council action lucha libre fans. Sitting to my left as always is Hugo Savinovich. Hugo: Happy to be here Rickin! Rickin: With the show we have tonight, I think we all are. We'll see both Ricky Santana and Gama Singh in singles matches. Los Mercenarios will be in tag team action. Hugo: They CAN'T be happy after last week! Things did not go according to plan... Rickin: Sometimes they don't. Hercules Ayala will be joining us at the desk before his match tonight. He is fully recovered from that attack to the back of his head by now I'm told. Hugo: The back of your head and your neck are very hard to recover from. Very painful and an easy spot to get hit! Rickin: True enough Hugo. I'm sure Hercules will want to address how that happened as well. the Rock and Roll RPMs will be out to the desk as well. Owen Hart will be joining Chicky Starr in his Sports Shop. Hugo: I doubt Chicky will like what he has to say after last week! Rickin: Very likely not. Los Super Medicos will be out to the desk to talk about their first round win in the tournament to crown new NWA WWC Carribean tag Team Champions. The next match in that tournament will be our main event. Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez will take on the team of Ron and Chicky Starr. Hugo: Tough test for Castillo and Perez! Rickin: I think they'll give the Starrs more trouble than expected. I don't doubt their insurance policy will be close by. Hugo: We both know it will! Rickin...I expected some argument. Hugo: Chicky REALLY wants those titles! Do you think he is going to take chances?!? Rickin: You make a good point. Gama Singh is heading down to the ring and our fans are showing him their appreciation. Hugo: He's been doing very well since he came back to Puerto Rico and the WWC! Rickin: Yes, he was always a very good wrestler. He never had to resort to the dirty tricks in order to win matches. Hugo: Neither did I! Rickin: But you always did anyway. Hugo: Yep! Sometimes it's just more fun. Rickin: ..there are some thing about you I will never understand. Referee Tomas Marin is calling for the bell. Isaac Rosario vs. Gama Singh Singh mixes brawling and technical wrestling to control Rosario. A dropkick by Singh sets up the camel clutch for the win. Gama Singh by submission in 4:38 with a camel clutch El Profe and TNT rush the ring area and TNT blindsides Gama Singh with a roundhouse kick. Some overhand martial arts chops to the head and a 360 degree roundhouse kick put Singh on the canvas. TNT locks on the cobra dinamita (cobra clutch) and won't let go. Ricky Santana and los Invaders rush the ring and TNT bails. Gama Singh is left foaming at the mouth in the center of the ring. Hugo: WOW!! TNT did some real damage there! Rickin: That hold is every bit as lethal as El Profe claimed. Hugo: It is!! Gama Singh is coming around, but he's going to need help getting to the back! Rickin: Imagine if TNT had put the hold on for longer. Hugo: Oh...yeah...there's no need to go THAT far!! Rickin: I agree Hugo. When we come back we'll have los Super Medicos at the desk and Ricky Santana in action. Don't go anywhere. (Commercial Break) 0-10:30 Rickin: We're back and I have been joined by los Super Medicos at the desk. You two have advanced in this tournament and it seemed like you were lucky last week when los Invaders came to your rescue. Medico 1: We knew the attack would come. Chicky Starr isn't hard to predict. There isn't an underhanded tactic he won't use if he wants something. We asked los Invaders to back us up. Rickin: It was a tough match against los Mercenarios. Were you worried going in? Medico 1: We were prepared. Los Mercenarios are going to try to beat you into submission. We went in expecting a brawl and gave it back as much as we got when we had to. There were times when we were able to take them out of their match and I thnk that's what got us the win. Rickin: Do you have a preference as to which team you face in the second round? Medico 1: No. Castillo and Perez are a great young team and a tough opponent for anyone in this tournament. The Starrs, well let's just say getting Chicky Starr in the ring is always a goal. They are dangerous, but you always love to get a chance to mess up that face. Rickin: You can't be looking too closely at that aspect of it going into a match though. Medico 1: Definitely not. And we've been on watch for los Mercenarios since. They aren't done hunting us. Thanks for your time Rickin. Rickin: Thank you, Super Medico. They seem ready for the challenge ahead. Hugo: And the attacks that will come in the meantime! Rickin: Yes, that too. Ricky Santana is making his way down to the ring and the fans are very happy to see him. Hugo: They won't be after Owen Hart proves him to be an idiot! Rickin: What are you talking about? Hugo: Right now he has an excuse. After Owen beats him clean he won't have that, only failure! Rickin: There is that chance, but sometimes you lose matches. Hugo: That's why you go the extra mile! Rickin: Are those kinds of wins worth it? Hugo: I always thought so! Rickin: This we know. Doing things right as long as you can builds character. Something Ricky Santana seems to understand. Ricky Vargas will be the referee for this match and there is the bell. Frank Conners vs. Ricky Santana Santana with armdrag-y babyface offense early. He hits a vertical suplex and climbs up top. The flying crossbody nets Santana the 3 count. Ricky Santana by pinfall in 4:41 with a top rope crossbody Rickin: Another win for Santana. He's even starting to use more technical wrestling lately. Hugo: It's never a bad thing to have, can't rely on any one thing or it will cost you! Rickin: This is very true. I suppose fighting fire with fire even has it's place. Hugo: You're starting to get it! Rickin: Maybe Hugo, maybe. Up next we'll go to Chicky's Sports Shop where he will visit with Owen Hart. Los Mercenarios will have a tag team match as well when we return. Hugo: Don't you dare miss it!!! (Commercial Break) 10:30-18:30 Hugo: It's time to go to my friend Chicky Starr's Sports Shop! Cut to the Sports Shop intro. Chicky sits down and Victor the Bodyguard hands him a microphone. Chicky: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to another edition of Chicky Starr's Sports Shop. I have what I thought would be a very interesting guest, and still might be, this week. But first I want to talk about a challenge that was laid at my feet a few weeks ago. It seems Barrabas wants to test his young "monster" against Abdullah the Butcher. Chicky pauses and grins. Chicky: I was going to sign the match that day, but the thought of that impatient, nervous little man wondering if he'd get his match was too much to give up. It IS official that the match will happen on February 22nd in Guaynabo. Now Barrabas can sweat about how he's going to look when his big man can't handle a real monster like Abdullah the Butcher. I have ALSO requested a rematch between Carlitos Colon and Bruiser Brody. Not that Colon will take it, he knows he got lucky last time! Chicky takes a moment to settle down. Chicky: (English) My guest today is Owen Hart, who made a big splash winning his debut against none other than the new golden boy, Ricky Santana. Congratulations! Owen comes to the set and sits down. Owen: Thank you. It wasn't under the best of circumstances, but- Chicky: NO! You don't need to do that here and I don't want to hear it! You won the match! Owen: You're not wrong about that! I'm sure there are those who would still say I cheated. Chicky: To them I say f...well, I can't say that on TV. But I hope you get the idea. Listen to me. A win is a win. It means even more if something is on the line. Don't you dare hold yourself back by worrying what these fans, Rickin Sanchez or Ricky Santana! You're talented enough to wear gold and I don't want to see you miss out because you don't take the opportunities in front of you. Owen: Thank you. My father would be so happy to hear something like that! Chicky: Family is very important! My cousin Ronnie and I very often feel like we are up against the entire world. We find a way to get through it by sticking together! Owen: It's great that you can find success with your cousin. My brothers and I had a great time wrestling together. Chicky: Well, in case you miss that kind of atmosphere, you always have a home with Ron and Chicky Starr. Owen: Thank you, I really mean it. But I want to find my own way. I have to be my own man. Everywhere I've gone I've been a part of a team with my brothers. If I don't do this on my own I won't ever be the man I want to be. Chicky: That I can understand. it can be hard to get out of the shadow of a brother or a mentor... Owen: Exactly, just because I am the youngest brother doesn't mean I always have to be overshadowed! Chicky: Young man, you will go far. Just remember that you always have a friend in Chicky Starr. Owen: Thank you. And thank you for having me as a guest. Owen shakes Chicky's hand and leaves the set. Chicky (grinning from ear to ear): (Spanish) That could, possibly, be my favorite Sports Shop. I hope that you enjoyed it ladies and gentlemen. next week I'll be talking to El Profe and TNT. Cut back to the arena. Rickin: I don't....I am disgusted. Hugo: By what?!? Two guys having a conversation?!? Rickin: Hugo, you know exactly why. Chicky Starr was playing mind games with that young man. Mind games that will have long lasting consequences. Hugo: Maybe. Rickin: At least you stopped pretending to be blind. Some major match announcements there. Hugo: Bam Bam against Abdullah?!? WOW!!! Rickin: It is a huge match for sure. We also have the likelihood of Carlitos Colon defending his NWA WWC Universal Championship against Bruiser Brody again. Hugo: I don't think he'll back down! It's just not like Carlitos! Rickin: Very true. Los Mercenarios are now being heavily booed by the fans. More than a little trash is being thrown their way. Hugo: They seem pretty okay with it! Rickin: Yes, I imagine their paycheck for this trouble is well worth it to them. Hugo: Money makes the world go around! Rickin: It does, unfortunately. Hugo: They are rushing the ring!! Ring announcer Eliud Gonzalez hasn't even finished the introductions! Los Assassins vs. Los Mercenarios Mercenarios stick to their usual Moondogs-esque tactics. Merc 1 hits the falling slam and Merc 2 hits the splash off the ropes for three. Los Mercenarios by pinfall in 5:17 with the falling slam/splash combo Rickin: Business as usual for los Mercenarios. They have a very singular style. Hugo: Yes, one that fits in very well here! Rickin: Reminds me somewhat of los Pastores. Hugo: A little, yes! Just...less....something. Rickin: That about sums it up. We'll be right back with Hercules Ayala. The Rock and Roll RPMs will be stopping by the desk after that match. We'll see you after these messages. (Commercial Break) 18:30-28:30 Rickin: We're back with the strongest man in Puerto Rico, Hercules Ayala. You've had better months I imagine. Ayala: How'd you guess? Rickin: You had Madril on the ropes, but it seems like Chicky Starr was too much of a distraction. Ayala: You know, I should have known better. Chicky wasn't ever going to be a major threat. I'll give him and Madril a good strategy. They created the injury and exploited it. Worst part is, it happened twice. Rickin: As long as it doesn't happen a third time. Ayala: Yeah....let me tell you this Al Madril. I may not be the smartest guy in the room. I may not be willing to resort to the bull-(Ayala's face gets red)....nonsense you do. BUT I AM the STRONGEST man in Puerto Rico! And what you did to my friend... Ayala takes a short walk to settle himself down. Ayala: We are not done! I don't want the damn belt! Whatever this next match is, I don't care! You name the match type, I'll be there! And give me something GOOD! I want to rake your face across barbed wire! I want to ram you into a cage again...and again..and again. (Now dead calm.) I want to make you bleed. I want to make you wish you had never hurt Victor Jovica. I want to make you wish you never set foot in Puerto Rico. Most of all, I want to make you understand why you should fear Hercules Ayala. Ayala stalks off with murderous intent in his eyes. Rickin: I am beginning to think that maybe Al Madril bit off more than he could chew. Hugo: I...yeah...don't disagree.. Rickin: I have never seen Hercules Ayala so angry. He must have formed quite a bond with Victor Jovica. Hugo: Training with a man, helping him through a hard time can do that! Rickin: I'll beleive that. He's very quick getting to the ring and I don't like Armandito Salgado's chances. Armandito Salgado vs. Hercules Ayala Ayala steamrolls Salgado and puts on the figure 4. Salgado taps almost immediately. Hercules Ayala by submission in 3:08 with the figure 4 Hugo: WOW! He really meant business. Rickin: I hope Al Madril is taking him seriously, for his own sake. Hugo: And here I thought you didn't like Al! Rickin: I don't. But what he has coming if he isn't serious is not something I want to see done to anyone. Remember what you always say about sending a message. Do you think Ayala is trying to send one? Hugo: Yeah....yeah... Rickin: It looks like the Rock and Roll RPMs are ready to start. Rickin walks around the desk to talk to the RPMs. Rickin (English): You two have come into the WWC and done very well. How do you feel about your chances in this tournament? Lane: It's going to be a hard road. There are a lot of great teams here in the WWC. Davis: There really are. Los Invaders have really been great and welcomed us with open arms. Los Super Medicos and Carlitos Colon as well. We don't necessarily want to fight either of those teams, but there is only one winner. Rickin: The team you have to face is Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher. Lane: We've seen them before in different places. They are a tough team, but we've beaten bigger men before. The real problem is that their manager has an enforcer we will have to deal with. Davis: Yeah, Bam Bam is definitely going to be something we have to look out for. Rickin: I beleive your match with Boyd and the Crusher is in 2 weeks. That gives you about 14 days to avoid him. Davis: I'd really like to say if he shows up we want a fight, but we're not crazy. Lane: We want to win the tournament and brawling with a 370 pound monster is not going to help those chances, so avoiding him seems like the best idea. Davis: I know we're supposed to say we want that fight to look brave. But like I said, we aren't crazy. Rickin: I'll agree. I don't think fighting with Bam Bam is going to leave anyone in the best condition to win a match afterwards. Lane: We really want to thank the fans here in Puerto Rico for embracing us and making it an easy transition. Davis: Yeah, we appreciate it so much. The fans here are so passionate, it's hard not to love 'em. Rickin: Thank you guys for the interview. Davis & Lane: Thank you and thank you Puerto Rico! Rickin (Spanish): Those young men will go far in the WWC. Hugo: I don't think they will beat Boyd and the Crusher! Rickin: Why not? Hugo: Bam Bam. Rickin: Barrabas will probably send him after those two. Hugo: So no win then! Rickin: They are up against big odds, but I have seen men overcome worse. When we return we will have our main event. We'll be back after these messages. (Commercial Break) 28:30-38:00 Hugo: Hey fans!! There's Ron & Chicky!! Rickin: Big surprise they opted to come out first. Hugo: Every advantage counts! Rickin: I imagine that's exactly what they were thinking about. Castillo and Perez have a lot of practice fighting uphill battles. Hugo: Because Miguel Perez taught them the wrong way! Rickin: I would say he taught them the right way. Hugo: Of course you would! Rickin: (shaking his head and chuckling) I probably deserve that. Now here come Huracan Castillo and Miguelito Perez. Hugo: WITHOUT Miguel!! Rickin: They said they were going to do things on their own. Hugo: I've been thinking about that. I think it's a good idea! Rickin: You think they might come around to your way of thinking? Hugo: Maybe...not really. But there comes a time when you have to be your own man! I respect them for it, I really do. Rickin: That's good to hear Hugo. Referee Victor Quinonez has called for the bell. Huracan Castillo Jr. & Miguelito Perez vs. Ron & Chicky Starr Castillo and Perez get the better of it early with Chicky and Ron bumping big for them. A few miscommunication spots by the Starrs lead to a long control by Castillo & Perez. Chicky hits a low blow from his knees to Castillo and the Starrs viciously work him over and cut him off whenever he tries to get to his corner. Perez eventually takes the tag to a big roar by the crowd and starts cleaning house. The numbers game catches up to him and he low blows both Starrs. Things are looking good after a Perez dropkick, but los Mercenarios come to ringside. They start working on Castillo after pulling him from the apron, distracting Perez. Ron Starr hits a jumping knee to the back on Perez and los Mercenarios back off before referee Quinonez sees them. One brainbuster DDT later Ron Starr covers Perez for the 3. Ron & Chicky Starr by pinfall in 13:54 after a brainbuster DDT Rickin: Of all the ways to win the match... Hugo: What?!? Los Mercenarios never laid a hand on Perez! Rickin: Thankfully they are done after the final bell. I suppose they don't need to worry about Castillo and Perez after advancing in the tournament. Hugo: Nope! Rickin: We're all done for tonight fans. We had a major match announced tonight for February 22nd in Guaynabo. Hugo: We only know 2 matches, but I am looking forward to it already!! Rickin: And there is a very big reason to tune in next week. Hugo: The monster! The machine! Rickin: Abdullah the Butcher will be with us next week and tagging with Abdullah Tamba. They will be going up against Invader 1 and Carlitos Colon. Hugo: What a HUGE match!! Rickin: And my understanding is that Bam Bam will be in the building. Hugo: Good thing the National Guard will be here!! Rickin: That might not be enough. Be sure to tune in next week as we have a really big show for you fans.
  4. Great show to build for the 25th! Tag titles and Snuka/Kamala both catch my eye.
  5. Edit: Upon further review, not here. This thread is a treasure trove and a place I can see hours of my life being thrown into. Happily, I might add.
  6. This was a great, great 6-man with some huge moments. Once it becomes a 2-on-3 match the crowd is buying into Kawada and Kikuchi's shit whenever it comes. And the brief flashes of a Misawa comeback get HUGE pops. Team Jumbo are such vicious pricks in this. I love how Fuchi takes that and feels the need to one-up both Taue and Jumbo on the dickish offense. Finish is just an absolute destruction by Jumbo and co. and we definitely know who is in charge.
  7. The hotline thing cracked me up. Those things are all the rage in 1990 and 91. Bobby does play a great victim here and Macho is all kinds of awesome. Why is Sean Mooney on my TV?
  8. I love how wrestling's music taste is usually a few years behind. But you know what, I could see this being a Whitesnake or Poison or Van Halen or some other hair band video. So I guess mission accomplished...right?
  9. I liked the tag brawl while it lasted, but there was no way it was ever going to finish. Like every other match we saw on this show. More brawling and it's all good, but I agree on overkill. Were MSC numbers down or something where they felt like they really needed to bring the fans in this week?
  10. My one quibble with that incredible brawl is the announced decision. We saw the ref get hit 3 times, all by Embry and Pritchard. But we get a no decision? Beyond that, damn that looked wild and great! Robert cuts a great promo and i continue to be impressed by him as both a promo and a brawler. The brawl after the tag match is interrupted is great but I have to ask if babyfaces in Memphis understand what "timely save" actually means. Embry is great though, using everything around the studio to beat up on Fuller.
  11. I thought this went way too far. Lawler demolishing the car was just way too much. Also, who expected that guitar to survive the show once Lawler brought it out? I'm pretty sure there are single celled organisms somewhere that called that one as soon as he started talking about it. I did like Lawler's actual marking out for being able to meet all of these people though. It seemed very genuine and a peek into the real life Jerry Lawler..
  12. At the very least nobody takes a massive shit all over the World Title while Flair is talking. Not that it has much cred left, but it's something. And it's definitely a great Flair promo. I'm dreading seeing where any of this goes though, it's just been such a massive amount of killing Flair before he even has a chance to defend himself that I don't think he can possibly overcome it.
  13. This was another awesome Foley performance with support from Abby. Foley is on a tear with this crazy/silly/what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-him stuff.
  14. Big match for your first live TV! Ontario got two good title matches, but I'll take the King Tonga match over the rest.
  15. My guess is because World of Sport is the most easily recognizable format of British wrestling it's what things get lumped under. European wrestling as a whole is not really covered well. And in case the size of the original obscured this point, I'll repeat it. The things I mentioned are what popped into my head for projects. If you have a different project idea either that you really want to try or you think doesn't get enough attention, pitch it and see if people like it. Finally, these kids of things need the experts and as Matt D mentioned, most people here are specialists. If you are really strong in one of those places that doesn't get enough attention, would you be willing to run a few of us through it?
  16. I enjoyed the early part of the match with Cutie hitting the powerbomb and that put her in the driver's seat. Scorpion tried to counter out of stuff, but didn't have the oomph behind it after that powerbomb. Once Scorpion hits the missile dropkick it turns around and Suzuki is the one who can't make things stick. I like Suzuki's bump to the floor off of the suplex to the ropes. The moonsault off the top to the outside by Scorpion was nutty as Hell with the way Suzuki was laying. I'd argue that this middle section of the match was where things felt a little scatterbrained. Then they pulled it together for a good finishing run. I did like that they took some time to slow things down, but not a ton. Pretty good match even if it lacked in parts.
  17. I liked the torturing of Kawada's midsection early on. Ogawa being involved as heavily as he was in that mad me think he'd get some kind of payback. Kawada, in one of his few instances of showing much fire here, goes with a Jumbo sequence to get his revenge on Ogawa. Jumbo's reaction is as awesome as I expected. Misawa using his lucha-based offense on Ogawa is always a fun thing to watch. I really dug seeing the Ogawa-Kikuchi matchup heavily featured in this and how often both were in the match. I think part of the reason this isn't as strong of a match is Kawada, but I also think that knowledge of his later self is creeping in there a little bit. He's not quite there yet all the time. He's going to have lapses as he grows into it and one just happened to fall on a match that was meant to feature him vs. Jumbo. That first tiger driver was such an incredible nearfall, had me believing Taue was down.
  18. I enjoyed the Top 5, very clever. Jake was absolutely incredible and fantastic and every bit of hyperbole you can stack on top of that here. I really love how to top all of that off, Jake warns Gene that it's a bad idea to talk in a way he doesn't like. Then when Gene ignores this warning, Jake immediately lets us know that he means business. Fucking great!
  19. I liked Piper's promo on Flair a lot. He is really focused and brings up all the awful things he has done over the years. Good way to go for sure. Once Hogan is mentioned it kind of loses a little focus, then the whole Nasty Boys thing and it's back to ranting and raving for no reason Piper. But the first part of the promo before the break is grrreat!
  20. I really liked the main. The team of Morales and Backlund is a nice counter to the iconic MACW team. Bolsheviks getting a win right after their big loss is a good tactic.
  21. I would say the principals would have to figure out a matches/segments per week kind of a deal and how long they wanted it to go. Whatever the most busy person in the group could handle I imagine. And I'd say that there would be no real restriction to it. If a person had time for 2 or 3 and that many were going, why not? Part of my plan on this was that it is a very, very open process. If you can get 4 people or more on a topic, organize it and go. And if something comes up you like that you're not a part of, follow along. The idea is very much centered on making things more accessible that don't at first glance seem that way.
  22. I recently had an idea for a series of projects (not all necessarily involving me) for the board. After talking to a few people about them it seems like there might be a section of people around who would be willing to do this kind of thing, so I'm just going to put it out there. We take the areas of wrestling that may not be that popular or understood: - World of Sport - Lucha Libre - Joshi - Shootstyle - Puerto Rico - lucharesu that isn't MPro If you can think of something else to add, great. We add it to the list of projects. And have a theme to the whole project, a goal in mind. My first thought was taking lucha libre and comparing and contrasting aspects of it with American wrestling. Something to give some perspective on the nuts and bolts and how it all goes together. Also I thought more abstract concepts involving wrestling would work: - My biggest idea here is look at 1988-1992 and how some careers, namely Sting, Pillman and Luger really got killed before they could truly start. Yet both Foley and Austin came out of the same place. Take a deeper look at how each was booked during all of the regime changes and what effect it had on them in the eyes of the fans. If you can come up with more names to add to that list or different projects in the same vein, again, throw the idea out there. Get one person who is extremely well-versed in the subject matter. Have three others at least dedicated to watching a certain amount of themed matches, etc. each week. These three people can have any level of experience on the subject. Post the reactions and discussions on the board and leave it open for anyone to throw in if they like. But with the caveat that you do not attack opinions or posters, you simply disagree and state your reasons why. Honestly having somebody who is a novice or not a huge fan of the subject matter makes a lot of sense. To me these projects are usually very good for intermediate and above on that promotion/style or whatever to follow along. But it can be very difficult for somebody relatively new to, for the sake of this argument, let's say WoS or lucha to really get into it. There are parts of it so different and it can be an uphill battle trying to process them while also trying to derive enjoyment from the matches. So with this idea, you have at least one person who is on that level involved and is struggling with it. It takes away that nagging thought that you don't want to be the stupid guy disagreeing with this person who clearly knows his stuff. And it gives you an idea on what you might like once you get used to how people react to matches. If a couple of people you know you generally agree with like a match, you are probably more likely to watch it. As I said above, my first thought was lucha libre. I personally struggle with trios matches that don't involve somebody I really like. The big matches between great workers like Santo, Casas, Satanico, etc. I'm all for. So maybe get some folks together and we go through a week of trios matches, then a week of title matches, then a week of apuestas matches. Follow that up with a couple of weeks on the development of feuds and then go into deeper stuff. I've talked to CapitalT a little about somehow integrating parts of this with GME and would welcome any thoughts on that as well. I've also been in contact with Boricua on getting one started on Puerto Rico. I'm open to any idea that we can start this thing and getting it rolling with. I think it would be a good way to first, have a good way of making some of the less known wrestling styles easier to get into. And second, have good discussions and get to know one another's tastes in wrestling a little better. So if you have ideas I didn't mention or liked something I put above, by all means call it out. Like I mentioned above, I don't think experience level with a promotion/style should hold a person back on this either. So there is absolutely no need to be shy.
  23. So Eddie Gilbert is there, Owen Hart makes his return and you had that awesome 6 man tag as the main? That is a great, great show and I'm sure anyone attending went home happy. Despite Jacques losing...
  24. Capital gave me this match: Superb lucha brawl between two guys who seem to know what they are doing. My review is here. http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/37907-el-satanico-vs-sangre-chicana-emll-052689/
  25. I loved how they actually pretended like they were going to wrestle at first. Then Sangre headbutts Satanico after being backed into a corner. I liked it coming from the guy in the corner, esp. when you think Satanico is going to be the one to start it. Second caida starts awesome with Satanico begging Sangre to punch him and then acting like the punch damn near knocked him out. Have I mentioned the punches they throw in this are off the charts great? And yeah, Satanico's selling is top notch. Sangre good at selling the damage, but he can't compare to Satanico. I've read several times that selling is what makes a great brawl and this match should be front and center in that conversation. I also loved how Satanico had to work to get his comeback. You think he's got it once, but Sangre comes roaring back with more great punches. Third caida sees both wanting to box it out on the outside and the ref is kind enough to not count them out. Satanico's attack on the eyes is just awesome. I really liked the pace they kept up. It wasn't super slow, but slow enough to where when they both got inside and started throwing and things sped up it felt like a high spot. The ref has about enough when Dangre won't let Satanico up in the crowd and starts talking about a countout. Once he starts counting the fans get a little restless and start throwing things as Sanger and Satanico brawl around ringside. I formed this idea that these two had a big match this match was building to that had blood involved. Because I would pay to watch that match. If this was actually supposed to be a blowoff, yeah it didn't work.
