Posted February 19, 201114 yr comment_5465553 JIP at about 9 minutes. Robinson gets cocky so off the next break Tito slaps him multiple times and then rattles off a series of arm drags with Billy bailing to the floor. Billy comes back in and hits a stiff a forearm and then fucking murders Tito with his splash to the neck spot that always looks brutal. Billy ends up locking on a really high and tight looking arm bar. They go into a nice exchange of Euro uppercuts with both guys getting more and more pissed. Billy kicks Tito in the shin and does a rolling leg snap and locks on a single leg crab all in a super fluid series. Tito is quick to make the ropes and Billy locks on a hammerlock when they tie back up but eats a back elbow and takes an insane leaping bump over the top to the floor. Back in Billy is in trouble and Tito gets a nearfall after some Euro uppercuts. Robinson is really great here as he waits in the ropes to kill time and then manages to slip a headlock attempt twice selling it wildly both times like he was on deaths door. Tito finally gets his headlock and they work a really nice exchange with the headscissors and headlock takedown counters. Another cool spot as they come up from the headlock and Billy ends up getting a slam off but gets kicked down and Tito goes back to the headlock. Billy does a really awesome counter as he fights forward off the mat from a headlock with a cravat of sorts and then stands into a kneeling position and breaks the hold by spinning backwards while in a bridge and straight into a wristlock. Santana head scissors out and hits a body slam and goes back to a headlock. Billy stands up on it and hits a belly to back suplex that looked really nice. Santana ends up hitting a cross body as time expires. What was shown was great and this was a bit more than half the match. The biggest knock against this is the utter stupidity of Tito working a side headlock for the last few minutes instead of going for the win, but the work was so good that there is no way I can't push this forward.
March 25, 201114 yr comment_5468293 Billy Robinson vs. Tito Santana - Damn, Robinson is putting the hurt on Tito early on. After an awkward knee drop to Tito’s head, he applies an armbar and has Tito in the weirdest position but it looked painful. When Tito gains control. He works a headlock and Billy keeps it interesting with his body language and hope spots. Man, we got less than half of a twenty minute draw. I can’t pass this on in good conscience even though I enjoyed what was there.
