Topic	Board 8's Match of the Week - Just Good Matches This Time (MOTW)
Eddv 12/19/20 1:02:54 AM #10:	El Hijo del Santo vs. Negro Casas vs. El Dandy (Mask vs. Hair vs. Hair) Who are you to doubt El Dandy? - Bret Hart What. A. War. I love a good Apuestas match but I admit I am not remotely versed with mid 90s CMLL specifically because of just how hard it is to consume. The way this thing is shot really is more like...baseball than modern wrestling, which is a hallmark of CMLL even now. The angle portion of the match was so tame and light that what followed was some completely unexpected violence. In comparison to Pagano at Triplemania the hair stipulation means quite a lot when you have locks like El Dandy does. I admit Dandy tapping to the damn surfboard took me by surprise. The blood all over Santos silver almost white mask looks fucking awesome and the two just beat the shit out of each other in a way distinct from all the Japanese variations on that theme thus far. This match has a tope done right - why is the US so shit at Topes in comparison? El Dandy goes flying and rolls over the stadium seating and it looks fucking awesome. Towards the end as Dandy is fading from the fight and just weakly fights off every near fall, just enough to not die is fucking great stuff. Dandy tears at the mask and goes for every last gasp of offense he can muster but you can tell just by the look of exhaustion on his face that Dandy knows this is hopeless. He's just doing everything he can to not lose right until the end when he can finally no longer resist the camel clutch. Excellent stuff! --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/AWY4xHy <cite>Eddv posted [p:948514857] in Board 8's ...
