This starts with clips of Manny Fernandez being run out of WWC and he was supposed to team with Chicky & Ron Starr to face Carlos Colon & Los Invaders but Colon would step away leading to..... Los Invaders (I y II) vs. Chicky Starr & Ron Starr (5/25/88) This starts out in a brawl with Invaders taking it to the rudos and the fans going nuts. The rudos get pounded here as Invader II throws some great punches here especially on Ron then the rudos do the accidentally striking of each other which really gets the fans going. Ron would catch Invader I in the running lights with a knee as he charged into the corner leading to the rudos control section where they focused on turning Invader I's mask sideways so he couldn't see. Invader I then took his own mask off and worked his way to the hot tag on Invader II who cleaned house leading to a 4-way brawl with Invader I & Chicky on the floor and Invader II & Ron in the ring. Both rudos juice and Ron would use a chair on Invader I on the floor before bringing it to the ring where he would hit Invader II then the referee as fans pelt the ring with trash as the bell rings. Invader I juices on the floor and taps a gusher as the rudos destroy Invader II which brings out Colon who gets whacked with the chair as well and also juices. This is total destruction by the rudos and I'm going to throw this on the block as a low-end nomination but it needs to be on the set someway either as a nom or an extra.

 

Then we get Chicky Starr's Sport Shop with Ron.

 

"Dangerous" Danny Spivey vs. Armando Salgado (May 1988) Squash.

 

Next we would get an Invader III bedside promo where he promises to come back to get revenge on the rudos.

 

Mark Youngblood vs. El Solitario (May 1988) Squash.

 

"Hangman" Bobby Jaggers vs. Angel Diaz (May 1988) Squash.

 

Chicky Starr & Ron Starr vs. Random guys (May 1988) Squash.

 

Super Black Ninja (Keiji Muto) vs. Mr. Jefferson (4/6/88) Squash.

 

Hercules Ayala vs. Armando Salgado (May 1988) Squash.

 

Super Black Ninja vs. Huracan Castillo Jr. (June 1988) Muto is now bald after losing his hair foreshadowing his future 13 years later and he is funny here selling his baldness as he reaches for hair that isn't there then winces when Castillo hits him on the head. Profe would get involved allowing Muto to hit his moonsault but Miguel Perez Jr. would run out for the DQ sending him running. Next we get Chicky Starr's Sport Shop where he goes off on a rant about Dutch Mantell.

 

WWC TV Title: The Invader © vs. Hercules Ayala (June 1988) This is a slugfest from the start as both men throw some good punches before Ayala would take over for a bit with punches and kicks. Invader would fight back with a sleeper until Chicky Starr ran in for the DQ.

 

Handicap Match: "Dangerous" Danny Spivey vs. Random guys (June 1988) Squash. Ron Starr vs. Random guy (June 1988) Squash.

All of the Manny/Starrs/Colon/Invaders segments should be considered for extras.

 

Super Black Ninja lost his hair to Miguelito Perez. There's a clipped version of the match on YouTube. Miguelito and Super Black Ninja had a bit of a feud, with the hair match being their 4th singles match.

 

 

Super Black Ninja would team up with El Profe to take on Perez/Castillo in a tag match.

 

The first match is already nominated and seconded, but the pre-match angle/clips they show really adds to it and would make a very good EXTRA

 

The follow up sport shop with Ron might be an EXTRA

 

The slew of squashes that follows isn't really much, though I like the Starr team in their match.

 

Super Black Ninja vs. Huracan Castillo Jr.

 

Pretty fun match. I thought it was actually hilarious in a way because Castillo outworked Muta with both his bumping and his offense. Profe leaping on the apron and tugging at Castillo's hair was actually the most well executed spot of it's type I think I've ever seen and the Perez run in was well done, with the crowd showering the heels with trash as they fled the building. Nothing special,but it was worth watching.

 

Chicky rants on Dutch as Kris notes.

 

The Invader © vs. Hercules Ayala

 

This is a tough one, because this is one of those things where if you count the pre-match and post-match I think you have a real case for this making the set, but without it I don't know. It's always tough for me because while I tend to be a "bell-to-bell" guy there are cases like the AWA tag team "riot" match, where the post-match helped the match in my eyes, and I know there are plenty of voters who have expressed that they vote for the "full presentation." Here the pre-match is basically a huge stalling/lobbying segment with Invader 1 eventually convincing the ref to eject Chicky from ringside. This was well done, got the crowd super amped and really set the stage. The match itself was actually a very solid tv match, with what looked to be a minor edit in the middle. The match is basically Invader winning a "boxing" exchange, Ayala firing back with some shots, Invader going to the balls in blatant and awesome fashion, Ayala coming back again with some more shots, a brief heat section of a nervehold while the fans throw trash into the ring, Invader going to the balls again and locking on a sleeper and then the run-in. Normally Ayala's offense looks pretty eh, but here I thought it was sold really well by Invader and this had true slugfest feel to it. Still what makes this a worthwhile segment takes place when Chicky runs in to break up the sleeper. They try and corner Invader who keeps evading them and just when he escapes to the floor Ron Starr shows up and viciously posts him. They bring him into the ring and STarr breaks out a loaded glove of some sort to deck him with as the fans are going bonkers showering the ring with shit. Just at the last second the faces show up to make the save. This definitely forwarded the angle and felt like a really big deal to me watching even 25 years later. This is one of those things where I would like the input of others on how the pre/post match factors in to their thinking and Boricua on the angle and importance of the feud itself. At minimum it deserves to be discussed, and if not a match for the set, should be an Extra.

 

During the break in the match there is a clip of Muta cheating to beat Castillo at a house show.

 

Ron Starr comes dangerously close to fucking his opponent in his squash match on a disturbing cradle spot, but other than that the rest of this disc is nothing special.

I'll check the Invader vs. Hercules Ayala match later (I think it's on Youtube) to add some detail to the pre and post match stuff, but in terms of how important the Chicky Starr vs. Invader 1 feud is, if you were to make a list of the top feuds in PR wrestling history, the only one that would be ahead of Invader vs. Chicky is Carlos Colon vs. Abdullah the Butcher. Some people would say that the feud hasn't really ended yet.
