12 Greatest Matches in Lucha Libre History Special
Sorry it took me so long to review this, this wasn't an easy show to review, mostly discussion and brief clips, no entire matches. Some Luchadores were interviewed in studio, the history review was by Julio Cesar Rivera, and El Testigo a masked lucha historian.
1st was a mask vs mask with Fishman vs Sangre Chicana, Fishman submits him, and Chicana angrily unmasked.
2nd was mask vs mask with Fishman vs El Corbarde, the action went back and forth. Cobarde topes Fishman, alot of near falls. Fishman rips at his mask and Cobarde bleeds, Cobarde does the same to him. Cobarde goes for a Gory Special, but Fishman rolls through it and pins him for the win. Cobarde unmasked.
They talk about El Solitario, and his feud with La Ola Blanca(Angel Blanco and Dr. Wagner). They mention that Solitario and Blanco were good friends in real life even though they fought. Solitario took both their masks and did away with La Ola Blanca.
3rd Match: El Solitario vs Dr. Wagner mask vs mask. Clips show Wagner getting his mask ripped, Solitario too. Solitario won with a roll up. Wagner unmasks and identified as Manuel Gonzalez Rivera. They mention this was Wagner's last match, his friend Angel Blanco died soon after.
They interview Bobby Lee, he began his career pretending to be the brother of Bruce Lee. He mentions defending his world title against Villiano-3, and against Santo and in that match challenged him to a mask vs mask which he accepted.
4th Match: Bobby Lee vs El Santo, mask vs mask. Only photos shown of this match with Lee losing and unmasking. Lee put his mask back on in the studio and cut a brief promo.
El Halcon, he mentions his matches with Mil Mascaras, Alfonso Dantes, winning Alfonso's hair and 8 days later going into the mask vs mask with Mil.
5th Match El Halcon vs Mil Mascaras, mask vs mask. Frenetic pace with these guys throwing each other around. Mil splashing him and doing a couple of head butt topes to him. Mil submits him and Halcon unmasked. Halcon kept referring to him as Danny Ortiz and taking credit for making his career and giving him a personality.
6th Match was El Halcon vs Gemelo Diablo 1, defending his world title against him. Clips of the action going back and forth. Diablo topes him on the outside, Halcon said he hurt his shoulder on that one but he still got back in and beat him.
7th Match was El Santo & Gran Hamada vs Scorpio & Hurican Ramirez. Santo getting his mask ripped, clips looked like a violent match.
8th Match was El Santo, Gory Guerrero, El Solitario, Hurican Ramirez vs El Signo, Negro Navarro, El Texano, Perro Aguayo Sr. Match looked very violent, Gory looked old and he was getting beat on big time. Alot of blood in this match, freaky seeing a young Perro. Not clear who won, they didn't say, but said this was Santo's last match.
9th Match was Los Gringos Locos: Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero vs Hijo Del Santo & Octagon. Hair vs Masks in Los Angeles. Clips only, Eddie and Art looked like they were wrestling in fast forward, really fast pace. They show Eddie going for the Gory Special, and Eddie doing a huricanrana to Santo who was on Art's shoulders. Eddie looked like he was really enjoying himself, he layed on the match kicking his arms and legs. Art did a really nice looking frog splash to Octagon. Santo does a flying head scissors to Eddie, then Santo and Octagon tope them. Eddie and Art lose. A few days later they say, Art Barr died.
10th match was Perro Aguayo Sr. vs Mascara Ano 2000, mask vs mask. Ano attacks kicking and kicking at Perro. Perro low blows Ano and gets DQ'd losing the first fall. In the second Perro goes into his Hulk Out routine no selling Ano's offense. Ano uses brass knucks and gets DQ'd. In the 3rd fall, Cien Caras interferes from outside, with the ref distracted Perro low blows Ano again but this time pins him to win. Ano unmasked and ran to the back. Ano said in the studio he was worried this might be the end of his career.
11th Match was Perro Aguayo Sr vs Universo 2000, hair vs mask. Universo beats him with a Martinette and Perro loses his hair.
12th Match was Fuerza Guerrera vs El Gallo Tapato mask vs mask. As mentioned Gallo came to the ring with a live chicken, Fuerza took it away from him and started beating him with it. Freaky stuff. Damn! Gallo makes a comeback and puts some moves on him. Gallo rips Fuerza's mask. Fuerza submits Gallo to a Texas Cloverleaf leg lock to win the first fall. In the second, Gallo backslides him to win this fall. In the 3rd, Fuerza uses the same leg lock to win this fall that he did the first. Gallo unmasked.
To end the show they showed random clips from the AAA vs CMLL card. The clips were too fast paced and too random to describe, but alot of brawling involving alot of guys.
That ends the show. Very good considering these only brief clips and only an hour show. Worth hunting down if you get a chance.
