LA Park vs. El Dandy (ENESMA 10/15/2004)

 

So I'm finally making headway on a playlist for GWE purposes. Park is one of my favorite luchadors and brawlers, and I'm also a big fan of Dandy. But they didn't brawl and neither could deliver a mat classic at this point. Park pulled out a couple decent dives but this felt like they were trying to stretch about 12 minutes worth of action into a 25 minute match. I don't love the 2 quick fall start to many lucha matches, but sometimes the action is interesting or spectacular enough to overcome that trope. Just not the case here. Thought/hoped they were saving the fireworks down the stretch but it just wasn't there. Far from either man's finest hour. Dandy showed more intensity in his post-match promo. Bring on the brawls.

Does anyone know the date of this match?

 

12/23/2001 from Arena Coliseo, Monterrey, NL.

Thanks, that's what I thought. Santo officially a heel here or was he basically playing it like Cena at this year's Summerslam?

IIRC match is presented as 50/50 even though Santo is theoretically the tecnico and Parka the rudo. You know it's going to be a good one when Parka is dressed in all white.
