If They Gave Gold Statuettes For Tears and Regrets, Black Terry would be a Legend in his Time

Black Terry/Cerebro Negro/Yamato v. Fantasma de la Ópera/Freelance/Multifacético IWRG 12/1/07-GREAT

Really a perfect little sampler match for all that is awesome about Black Terry. We start the match with a longish Terry v. Freelance mat section which is pretty great. I especially loved all of Terry's arm manipulations, and his nasty leg grapevine tapitia. The match breaks down into a brawling section, and Multifacético and Fantasma are two of Terry's favorite punching bags. This was an outdoor show, so we got to see Terry recklessly flinging lawn furniture at folks heads, in addition to a Freelance quebrada onto sand. Yamato really wasn't much as he blew some stuff and look tentative brawling, he really felt like the Angelico of 2007. This was lacking the crazy finish run, or insane moment to push it into epic territory, but it is a damn good example of why this project exists.

Black Terry/Trauma 1/Trauma 2/Hajime Ohara v. Solar/El Hijo De Solar/Brazo De Oro/Brazo De Platino Toryuman 10/10/10-FUN

Another nifty little obscure gem from our boy Black Terry Jr.. The match opens up with a great 2 minute Black Terry v. Solar maestro section, and I got really excited, but that wasn't the kind of match we got. This was traditional house show lucha, the kind of thing being done hundreds of times all around Mexico, but done with super talented workers here. It was built around Brazo De Oro bickering with the ref, El Hijo De Solar with some fancy young technico stuff, and Brazo De Platino doing Super Porky spots. Terry and the Traumas are really good as stooging rudos which isn't normally what they do. Terry makes this great face of disgust and fear right before Platino splatters him in the corner. If this was stretched out to three falls, with a little more substance, I could see this being a great match, but as is, it is pretty much a definition of a FUN lucha match.
