Posted August 1, 201312 yr comment_5554321 UWA Heavyweight Title: Canek © vs. Cien Caras (9/21/84) It wasn't every day that Canek defended this title here and the fans are nuts for him when he comes out. This is a title match so we get lots of matwork early and Cien really cranks in a headlock and was tough overall for Canek to break free from. Cien was going to keep him on the mat hell or high water. Canek finally gets free by slamming his way out of a hammerlock and he sells his injured shoulder for a few seconds before going to work on Cien's left arm as payback. This doesn't last long though as Cien comes back and takes the fall with a victory roll. Cien immediately gets Canek back on the mat in the 2nd fall and goes back to work on his left arm. Cien has been nasty here working holds which is fun. Canek though reverses his way out of a cradle and locks on a nasty Bow & Arrow but Cien reverses it into a nearfall. The damage was done though as he is selling his back and Canek is on the attack eventually getting a pin to take the 2nd fall. The 3rd fall starts off with a bang as Cien sends Canek to the floor and hits a big slingshot plancha. Canek would come back though locking on a figure-four which saw them roll from the ring to the apron back to the ring to the other side then to the floor where Canek kept the move locked on. Great spot. The battle continued to be back and forth ending up with Canek getting an O'Connor Roll with a bridge but Cien pulled his shoulders down with his and Roberto Rangel counted both men down thus we get a double pinfall and a draw. Cien couldn't even job to Canek wow......nevertheless this was a really good match and a nomination.

August 20, 201312 yr comment_5557305 Canek vs. Caras - Loved the arm work in the first fall. Didn't love the 2nd fall, liked it. Thought the third fall was a huge disappointment. No vote.
August 20, 201312 yr comment_5557306 I really liked all of Caras arm work in the first fall very Regalish and I loved how he kept hanging on and twisting. If the match had kept at this quality it would be on the set, but the stand up sections weren't very good. Also that was a crap finish that wasn't executed well. We have better Canek matches on, so this can stay off
