Black Terry Restless By Day and at Night Rants and Rages At The Stars

Black Terry v. El Hijo Del Santo UWF 3/10/91-GREAT

All the work in this match was excellent, and this would be a good match to show folks why these guys are great wrestlers. All the early matwork was very cool. Santo especially back in the 90's was a crazy quick matworker, he would move into holds and counters suddenly. Terry looked very good hanging right with him. We also got some pretty Santo dives and even a rare Terry tope. However 11 minutes just isn't long enough to have a truly excellent lucha title match. They pretty much condensed a 25 minute match into 11 and I really felt the loss. This would have been an amazing first fall, but it left me wanting to see what they could do with some real time and three falls the way lucha is supposed to be.

Black Terry/Villano IV/Rey Mendoza Jr. v. Oriental/El Pantera/Solar UWE 4/23/11-GREAT

This is from a benefit show for Villano 3, and all six guys are working their asses off. We get a long opening caida with some cool relatively unique match ups. V IV and Oriental have a really cool mat exchange with some especially nice amateur reversals. It isn't the complicated stuff you see with Navarro, but hard intense simple work done well. I also really liked the flashier exchanges between Terry and Pantera, with Terry bumping really well for the headscissors, handstands and armdrags. Rey Mendoza Jr. and Solar is the most brawly of the three match ups, with Mendoza being especially nasty, landing cool shots to the ribs and belly. Second fall has the rudos work over Solar, including some very cool finger breaking by Black Terry. Oriental and Pantera finish the fall by breaking out a couple of big dives. Third fall was a little flatter then the previous two, which keeps this out of legendary territory, but this was another Black Terry Jr. Handheld gem, and quite an Easter present for all of the goyim lucha fans out there.
