Like Black Terry Getting Over His Lawless Days

COMPLETE AND ACCURATE BLACK TERRY

Black Terry v. Multifacetico IWRG 2/28/08-GREAT

Terry comes in with a great looking latin lothario mustache, he looks like Tyrone Power. Multifacetico is Black Terry's son (at least according to luchawiki) and their matches against each other may be some of the best father v. son matches in wrestling history. Multifacetico was pretty green, and was really led by Terry through their series, Terry is a guy who can lead someone through a series. The match begins with some pretty slick matwork with Terry really playing the nasty torturing rudo, with Multifacetico doing a nice job escaping and countering. Second and third falls were much more of a brawl, and Terry is great at throwing someone around. I especially loved Terry sidestepping a dive and throwing Multifacetico into the barrier, seems like an especially mean thing to do to your kid, I mean if you jump off a slide, you expect your dad to catch you and not sidestep you and throw you to the ground. That is some Great Santini shit right there. This was about as good a match Multifacetico could have had at this point of his career (although their apuestas match is on a even higher level), and is a truly excellent Terry performance.

Black Terry/Negro Navarro v. Solar/Mano Negra 9/12/10- GREAT

I am always excited to see maestro lucha show up on the internet. Had no idea this even happened, so this totally made my day showing up this morning. These match happened in 2007 and was one of my favorite matches of that year. This wasn't at the level of that, but it was damn good. Terry has a new grey streaked goatee and it is awesome looking, he looks like an evil wizard. We get the expected match ups as Terry is married to Negra and Solar and Navarro do their thing. Terry and Negra's stuff is great, lots of nifty wrist work and cranking of holds. Navarro and Solar do their beautiful dance, with both a fast standing and mat section. The minute or so we got of Terry v. Solar was good enough that it makes me bummed anew that their 2009 lucha libre expo singles match never showed up. Match was built to set up a Solar v. Mano Negra feud, and their break up stuff was a little awkward looking (especially compared to how beautiful everything else was), also the booking was weird with Solar and Negra winning in straight falls even in the midst of breaking up. Those are the only two things that kept this out of the rarified air of the other small show lucha handhelds BTJr. has blessed us with this year. Still this is definitely something everyone should check out.
