Carlos Colon & Huracan Castillo vs. Stan "The Lariat" Hansen & Chicky Starr (12/21/86) Of course this is a brawl at the start as everyone is throwing shots at the others both in the ring and out of the ring. Colon would then get worked over as the rudos kept him in their corner so they could get quick double-teams. Colon throws some great punches here to get the hot tag to Huracan who comes in firing away as the crowd goes nuts. Chicky then juices from shots by Huracan then Hansen juices from Colon's punches on the floor then Colon would deliberatly foule Hansen which pissed him off so he put Colon in the three of woe. Castillo then takes punishment as Colon is tied up but the referee wuold break him free and he would tee off on the rudos. Chicky is juicing hard as all four men brawl in the ring so Hansen goes out to get his bullrope and ties it around Colon's neck then hangs him over the top rope. The referee tries to stop him but calls for the bell as Invader I & Miguel Jr. runs off Hansen. This had blood and great punches so I'm throwing it on the block as a low-end pick.

Stan Hansen/Chicky Starr v. Carlos Colon/Huracan Castillo Sr. - 12/86

 

 

This is another piece of the awesome Hansen/Colon feud puzzle. If I'm not mistaken Castillo is the commission member Hansen killed with a lariat after he narc'ed Stan out and stopped him from putting Colon away with a loaded lariat in an earlier match. This starts off a brawl, turns into a structured attack on Colon with the heels keeping him in isolation (including some fun stuff with Colon/Starr worked along the lines of Bobby Heenan v. established star), then devolves into a wild brawl with an awesome ending angle. I actually thought the star of this to the extent there was one was Starr. He took some really nasty elbows from Castillo, bled a ton and came across really effective as the sniveling little prick. This is mainly notable for the post-match where Hansen hangs Colon with his bullrope until the face locker room empties out to make the save. Nothing great, but a nice addition to the feud.

 

This would make an Islands Set as an Extra and possibly a low end pick. A broader Territories Set? Hard to see how it will make the cut
