Posted February 23, 201114 yr comment_5465948 TNT vs. Zorro (October 1986) Saw this on the last disk. Killer Brooks vs. Miguel Perez Jr. (September 1986) This is nothing really but an angle with Brooks pouring a can of beans or something on Perez's face. "Bulldog" Don Kent vs. Karate Kid (October 1986) Squash. Huracan Castillo Jr. & Miguel Perez Jr. vs. Blue Devil & Tony Colon (October 1986) Squash. Frankie "The Thumper" Lancaster vs. Super Medico (Jose Estrada) (October 1986) There was some shit talking before the match and this turned into a decent match. Medico took a good bump between the ropes to the floor and there were some really good punches thrown here especially by Medico who busted open Lancaster. Medico just kept punching him and got DQed for his excessive violence. This was fun for what it was. The Rock n Roll RPM's (Mike Davis & Tommy Lane) vs. Chicky Starr & "Rambo" Ron Starr (October 1986) The fans were very hot for the RPM's here as they worked over Ron. The rudos then worked over Lane for the heat as Chicky bodyslammed him on the floor but Lane would roll away from a splash by Starr off the top rope to make the hot tag to Davis who cleaned house. Davis got the Thesz Press on Chicky before Peaches attacked him for the DQ which brought in Sasha for a pull-apart brawl. This was fun for what it was. " Bulldog" Don Kent vs. Armando Salgado (October 1986) Squash. Frankie "The Thumper" Lancaster vs. Zorro (October 1986) Squash. TNT vs. Sabu (October 1986) Squash.

Chicky Starr vs. Junior Velez (December 1986) The fans really hate Chicky here. Mil Mascaras vs. Mexican Angel (December 1986) Spotlight match for Mil.
June 30, 201312 yr comment_5549476 Don Kent had success in WWC in the early 80's, as part of the Fabulous Kangaroos and as the Medic #3. He's old here and would still make appearances until 1988. Killer Brooks rubs a plate of rice and beans into Miguel's face. It was meant as an insult and belittlement, since rice and beans is the staple of the Puerto Rican diet. It's like if someone where to rub fish and chips in an Englishman's face, or spaghetti and meatballs into an Italian's face. I think this ended up in Hercules Ayala avenging the insults against Killer Brooks. We're basically near the end of the RPM's run in PR. The Youngbloods would come in to take their spot as top foreign face team. Igor worked well into 1987. And I think he may have had an odd shot here and there into 91 (I hope my memory is playing tricks on me here). Fun trivia note: Baseball player Juan Gonzalez's nickname is Igor, he took it from one of his favorite wrestlers, the Mighty Igor. The latter December show is to help hype the year end show.
October 27, 201311 yr comment_5569055 The early squashes on this disc aren't really much and not worth seeing. I suppose the Perez/Brooks angle could be an EXTRA but I don't really think it's essential. Frankie "The Thumper" Lancaster vs. Super Medico Man there were some really fun spots in this. I loved the Medico bump and I also really liked the way Lancaster just decked him to cut down one of his offensive runs. The crowd was really into Medico and they popped hard when he crushed Frankie with a headbutt. Finish was stupid, but this was fun. Man the local RPMs interview was fucking awesomely corny here. Cips of a crazy Al Perez and Invader bloodbath are shown over an Invader promo. I could see that as an EXTRA The Rock n Roll RPM's (Mike Davis & Tommy Lane) vs. Chicky Starr & "Rambo" Ron Starr Holy fuck the RPM's were over. Honestly I don't know if I can remember seeing a non-native in PR this over, excluding someone like Andre The Giant. They are great at getting the crowd going too. I love Chicky pleading with the crowd to calm down after the first Ron Starr flurry is cut down. The heat section in this was pretty quick, but it continued with getting the crowd going and the heels were really scummy in it. I also really liked the fact that the heels kept fucking up every time they would go to technique and the hot tag came off of a big Ron Starr airball bump. This was too short to nominate unfortunately as it felt really underdeveloped but I would argue with the great crowd and insane post match cat fight with the women ripping each others clothes off that this is a slam dunk EXTRA The Funks squash was pretty awesome as the Funks are pretty awesome as a team. And there local promo was good too. The rest of this was nothing special
