Alex Koslov and Black Magic. I think they are the only ones.
Angelico from Spain worked for IWRG last year, I don't know if he's still there.

The WWC match isn't anything special at all. Definitely don't think it flows real well, in fact I thought it was way choppier than I remembered. I honestly don't recall anything about it that'd put it on par with the fifteenth best El Dandy match from 1990. No offense, but "it gets hate because it's famous" is a pretty bullshit talking point. It "gets hate" because it's just not that good.
Negro Navarro & Black Terry v Los Traumas (UWE, 8/27/11)
- This is only the third match I've seen from these guys this year, and I think the last one was way back in April, but the Traumas (particularly II) are still two of my favourite guys in wrestling. Thought the II/Terry opening mat section was a bit too exhibitiony, but there's a few great moments, like II condescendingly patting Terry on the back after he beats him in an exchange, Terry looking at Navarro like "is your kid mocking me?" and Navarro just shrugging like "eh, you've got sons too, you know how they are." Then Navarro and Trauma I get in there and T1 just slaps the fucking TASTE out of his old boy's mouth. Trauma II is a total shitkicker and even he seems taken aback by this, and Terry is great coming in like "hey hey hey...that's your old man, kid. Was that really necessary?" Navarro's dazed, stumbling sell of it is totally spectacular; Fujiwara-ish, even. The way he tries to rip his son's arm out the socket for his bullshit is why Navarro >*. Not on the level of Virus/Maya Jr. (which is a legit worldwide MOTYC, not just limited to lucha), but this was still some really good shit.

I liked that match, I don't think it's a lucha MOTYC, but it was good. Angelico vs Gran Apache from the same show is a good match too.

Re: Lucha Libre Match/Show Discussion/Reviews
I honestly haven't seen enough from this year to call that tag match a lucha MOTYC, but if nothing else it reminded me why IWRG is easily one of the best things in wrestling right now.

Re: Lucha Libre Match/Show Discussion/Reviews
I haven't watch lucha in a year. Just like WWE and TNA, it became stale. Not the same when Mistico was feuding with Perro and UG and teaming with Santo. Not the same when Billy Boy and Aerostar was stealing the show or when Chessman was the coolest wrestler on the planet.
I did enjoy the new episode of LLUSA. It's a silly show and for a Saturday morning show, I can accept it flaws.

Re: Lucha Libre Match/Show Discussion/Reviews
Well big bump here..
I got my first 5 AAA dvd's, they're pretty awesome. I can't remember all of the names, I do know one is TripleMania 19 (with TNA stars), 2 Guerra de Titanes' (not sure on the spelling), a Verano de Escalando (again sp?). Theses are all original releases so with menu's/extra's etc..

Re: Lucha Libre Match/Show Discussion/Reviews
Anyone seen this year's Heroes Inmortales?
Wanting to see, Perro vs Wagner, Sting vs Mesias and Psycho Circus vs Perros del Mal.
Also, LLUSA is a very fun show. I like it a lot.

Re: Lucha Libre Match/Show Discussion/Reviews
Have not seen the show yet but I heard Sting vs Mesias suck. And Mesias is usually a big show primetime performer. He always bring it. I need to get back to watching AAA on a weekly basis. Im not going to even give CMLL a try again, the promotion is in a rut booking wise. Paco is in denial.
Magno vs Brewer mask vs hair match was fun. LLUSA is a fun little silly tv show. Rj Brewer is really a great heel and Magno really fits the US version of lucha.
