Posted February 21, 200817 yr comment_5428325 So much fun to see MDM whooping some ass in 83, Hamada also works so well with luchadores and he and Texano have some great looking exchanges. Lots of cool triple teams by MDM too. Being such a lucha mark, I may be overrating this, but fuck it.
June 28, 200916 yr comment_5441267 Gran Hamada, Kantaro Hoshino & Tiger Mask vs. Missionaries De La Muerte, 1/14/83 - Once the match started, I was digging the hell out of the Mexican offense and double teaming. Holding Hoshino over the rope so he can get kicked in the face by the guy on the apron? Nice. Mix in some absolutely beautiful sequences midway through and I was pumped. We have seen so much sloppiness on this set that when they nail shit down, it is a real treat. The Mexican miscommunication spots were also really well done. Add the flash ending after getting his ass kicked the entire match and you got a nomination from me. I know Childs thought this was aimless but I am putting the heart on until he rewatches it
