August 31, 201114 yr Author comment_5481303 Excellent match. I'm not sure what to expect with UWA because of the February classic featuring many of these guys, and also because these matches have never really been talked about all that much. This isn't as seamless as the 2/29 match, but it's still very good and has a lot of interesting spots that would eventually be fleshed out in Michinoku Pro.
September 9, 201114 yr comment_5482337 This ruled. Gotta say Texano/Silver King have to be on contention for tag team of the year since they look so fluid and fast in these matches. I need to see more UWA.
October 19, 201113 yr comment_5486132 This is another strong 6 man. Count me in in the Los Cowboy's love. Navarro looks jacked here. I thought the comedy in the match was really good, plus their were spots here where the timing was spot on perfect.
September 26, 201212 yr comment_5515751 Both refs were sporting some fros. This felt like a race. They were moving so fast out there and hitting everything. Crazy looking submission in there that I liked. Very good match.
September 2, 201312 yr comment_5560038 This was a mess at points and I thought Hamada was mostly useless here, which holds it back from being a luchy MOTYC, but it's another feather in the cap of Los Cowboys as a working tag team and there were some great intricate spots here after some standout matwork to open. Black Power is this Yearbook's version of the Scorpion--the person I've never, ever heard of who's completely awesome and who immediately has me wondering what else is out there (eastern European shootstyle guys are exempted from being considered).
September 19, 201312 yr comment_5563696 I did not dig this very much at all. This was pretty good when Hamada was in, and too much like an exhibition when he wasn't. The first fall had a hot finishing sequence, the second was predictable and predictably quick, while the third had a terribly anticlimactic finish. Too long for what they did even if the work wasn't bad, just not particularly captivating. **3/4
February 10, 201411 yr comment_5587179 This was fun, but not outstanding. Very fluid action for the first 2 falls before it broke down in the third and got chaotic. That's not a criticism though. It felt like a natural progression. My favorite part was the standoff between Hamada and Black Power early on.
May 30, 20169 yr comment_5755323 Another match I had to sit through because I paid for the discs. I've given up on trios, I think. If these guys want to show me how good they supposedly are, let them come to the WWF or WCW and learn to work U.S.-style. That critique may seem overly quick and harsh to some of you, but look at it this way: At least I spared you my normal laundry list of problems I have with the trios style.
June 26, 20214 yr comment_5956054 Didn't love it, didn't hate it. The timing on some of those spots with the Cowboys and Misionerios in the third caida was something to see. Very fluid and well-done!
