Posted March 29, 201015 yr comment_5448734 Strange match, as Estrada looks high as fuck in the first fall, trouble running the ropes, blows a body slam, but getting smushed by Cruz's plancha seems to knock him out of it, and he is a beast for the rest of the match. Fountains of blood, insane bumps, crazy dives. Total violence, it had the feel of an out of control ECW brawl. Slam dunk pick, probably a top ten finisher Classic Lucha 1989 Vol 3 (falls 1+2) Classic Lucha 1989 Vol 4 (fall 3)
March 22, 201114 yr comment_5468054 Jerry Estrada always looks high as fuck. On a certain level, I kinda watch his matches with the idea that he's the rich man's Sandman. He'll do a lot of stuff that looks ugly, but it doesn't feel inappropriate when it's coming from him. He looks really high in the rest of the match, too, including the signature stumble on the apron face-first into the turnbuckle spot (I love that Jerry has signature coke freak spots the same way Porky has signature spots built around him having a heart attack mid-match, but I digress). Still, really spectacular bloody brawl. Both guys bring some big offense, and Jerry brings even bigger bumps. Plus he hits this one headbutt that sounded absolutely sick. I don't know about top 10, but it's an easy nomination. CMLL 10/22/89
July 11, 201213 yr comment_5509950 Caballera contra Caballera: Javier "El Monarca" Cruz vs. "El Puma" Jerry Estrada (10/20/89) Estrada looks like the Mexican Chris Champion here with just as much drug use. Jerry looks like he is completely blitzed here in the 1st fall as he is discombobulated fucking up moves and not even bumping right with the fans getting on his ass booing him. Javier does a damn good job of keeping this going hitting a huge plancha to the floor as the fans started to get restless and took the 1st fall by countout. Jerry starts recovering in the 2nd fall as I guess the blood woke him up but I was thinking about Cruz and how he needed to go to a doctor after the match to get tested. Estrada looks good brawling on the floor as he posts Cruz forcing him to juice which Estrada would wipe from his head and into his mouth which was fantastic and sick at the same time. Estrada would even it up with a huge senton off the top which he almost fell off trying to execute. The 3rd fall is pretty great here as these guys are bloody and are putting it all on the line to win with some wild bumps and crazy dives not to mention some high impact moves. The Cruz missile dropkick from the top to the floor was completely fucking insane. Also the crowd finally got into the match here as these guys were killing each other and then you had the Estrada posting himself bump which was so great. The finish was pretty good as well and this match is a definite nomination.
