I need to hunt down the MS-1 vs. Sangre Chicana matches from the 80s.

I can't wait for the DVDVR 80s Lucha set to come out in the next year. There's going to be a lot of goodness. Hopefully with that, it'll make some classic lucha more available in the community.

One of my complaints about wrestling forums is that there are a lot of puro available but not as much lucha available. People are missing out on some legitimately great stuff.

Thanks to the Segunda Caida blog, I found this ultra rare bloody chain match from Brazil in the 80s.

This is a chain match from Brazil and is a gritty, violent, blood drenched masterpiece. This has the really great Taxi Driver feel that the best late 70's/early 80's matches have, dark and grimy with two guys trying to murder each other. The match actually begins with some cool leglock based mat wrestling, before devolving into both guys punching and biting each other in open wounds. Aquiles is a really stiff worker and there are points where he is justing tearing Mr. Argentina's leg up with chain shots. He also does a Pirata Morgan level blade job at the end of this match where it looks like parts of his scalp were falling off. By the end they need to be separated by the cops, and it felt like a match that required a police stoppage. Awesome, I need to watch more Brazilian wrestling.

This is a classic match here in Brazil, although wrestling isn't over here like it used to be, every wrestling fan praises this match as one of the stiffest matches of all time.

You guys have 100% Lucha in Argentina down south. That's all I know. I have no idea about Brazil wrestling.

Anyone has seen the last two IWRG shows? I don't know, I expected to see good lucha matches, but the shows let me down big time.

The MS-1/Chicana match is tremendous. The VQ isn't very good, but if anything it adds to how gritty the match is. It's like human cockfighting. Bucket loads of blood as well.

If you're looking for some more 80s lucha, search out the Jerry Estrada/Javier Cruz match from 10/20/89. Probably one of my top 3 favourite matches ever. Estrada is fucking loaded and can barely stand (always the case with Jerry, really), and at one point he slips on the apron and careens face first into the ring post. Match is a bloodbath. Also the match that made me a massive Estrada fan. Cruz is awesome too, btw.

I just found the MS-1/Chicana match but having a bit of a rough time trying find Estrada/Cruz. The luchadores could brawl just as great as the guys from Memphis in the 80s. I love it.
