Posted January 8, 201213 yr comment_5491932 I don't know what match Phil was watching, but this one had three falls. The inter-fall stuff from the EMLL show was editied out on this disc, so maybe he didn't notice. Anyway, this match was pretty awesome, although admittedly, most of the best stuff was concentrated in the first fall. Great early exchanges between Chavo and Markus Jr., with Chavo looking as on-point as ever, and Markus looking far more spry than I'm used to for him. Mando's work was crazy and tricked-out as mentioned. Before this, they had the old EMLL opening with all those old match clips, and someone did a front flip out of test of strength into a headscissors, and I'm like "man, somebody needs to be doing that today". And lo and behold, Mando does exactly that. Awesome. Hector had some shades of future Eddy, which always makes me happy. Chicana was good, though he'll have far, far better showings than this on the set. Markus the Elder didn't look that great, but nothing matchbreaking. He had to wait around waaaaay too long for a Chavo moonsault at one point. Otherwise, I dug this, and it feels like a solid nomination. [Classic Lucha From the 80's Vol 10]
July 11, 201213 yr comment_5509958 La Dinastia Guerrero (Chavo/Hector/Mando) vs. Gran Markus/Gran Markus Jr./Sangre Chicana (9/18/87) This is from the 54th Anniversario show and cool seeing this version of the Guerreros teaming up here. Mando although looking like the Mexican Mike Graham was really fun here doing all of his wacky shit while Chavo & Hector were awesome also. Markus Jr. was still in shape here and was moving around really well while his father though wasn't so active and relied on his smarts to get by. Chicana was the glue here that held everything together. The action here was fast paced with everyone bumping around but Phil was right here as we only got 2 falls but the Guerreros won both falls so this was a complete match. The ending was flat but still I'll push this forward as a low-end nomination.
July 30, 201312 yr comment_5553971 Chavo, Mando & Hector Guerrero vs. Gran Markus/Gran Markus Jr./Sangre Chicana, 9/18/87 (Classic Lucha Vol. 10) - 1st fall was awesome with the Guerreros doing awesome double and triple team moves and looking world class. 2nd fall, not so much as Markus & Jr. kind of suck. Chicana was great but spent a long time on the outside. Great finish with Chavo (I think) and Markus Jr. knocking wach other out and propping each other up. Markus Sr. pushes Jr. over to get the pin but Chavo covers Jr. when the refs aren’t looking to steal the win. As a nomination, the Guerreros are awesome and we need to decide if they should be represented. This is a great showcase for them but I don’t know if the entire match is strong enough to get on the set. This stays in purgatory so we can talk about it.
