Posted June 18, 200817 yr comment_5432296 Pretty much all you would hope from these two, just a pair of ugly dudes hitting each other really fucking hard. Wahoo's open hand chops are just violent as it gets, seems like ever AWA match ends in a countout, but actually that finish works really well with this kind of blood feud brawl. Loved this match AWA Wrestling Classics on ESPN
April 9, 201114 yr comment_5469481 Boy I really liked this. Phil nominated a couple of their matches but I'm not sure of the date on this one. Lots of stiff fucking shots from both guys as you would expect, but I especially liked the pacing of this as they would go to the ground to work the arm or something for a bit, come up and kill each other with shots, then settle down for a second and beat each other half to death again. Manny's diving knee looked sick as did his spinning back elbow. Once the big over the top bump came, Wahoo was bloody as fuck and I knew they were probably going to a double countout, but it was a vicious double countout, with double juice, choas, stiffness, et. I liked this a lot more than the strap match. Edit: Fairly sure this is the right match. AWA Mixed Matches 2
January 12, 201213 yr comment_5492199 "Ragin Bull" Manny Fernandez vs. Chief Wahoo McDaniel (10/15/88) This is JIP but not too much. This was a fuckin war but it had a really good psychology of beating ass/then working body parts/beating ass/working body parts so it wasn't a complete slugfest but a methodical war. The shots were stiff as you would hope and both men were great selling the punishment. Wahoo would juice from a vicious back elbow and then this turned into a fucking slugfest as both men just beat the fuck out of each other taking it to the floor where both men would get counted out. This fucking ruled and is a slam dunk nomination.
