Ricky Banderas is Smashing any Chest, Passing any Test Charles Manson in the Flesh

Ricky Banderas vs. Rey Gonzalez IWA 6/03? - GREAT

This is ladder match for the IWA title, and while I am admittedly a bit ladder matched out, this was based less on big stunts and more on hard metal ladders thrown into kidneys. Both guys take some really nasty bumps, Gonzales flies backwards hard over the top rope, Gonzalez catches the sharp part of the ladder right in the back. The finish bump was especially nasty with Banderas falling off the ladder and landing rib first hard into the side of the ladder, felt like the kind of thing that would cause internal bleeding. The brawling looked good too, there was a great spot where Rey is grabbing on to Banderas's ankle to keep him from climbing and Ricky just allows himself to be pulled off so he lands foot first right into Gonzalez's throat. Kind of surprised to see a gimmick match in Puerto Rico sans plasma and the stuff with the valet and Savio was unnecessary, still a great match and a very cool under the radar discovery.

Is it worth reviewing either of the Park PPV matches or are they so known as EPIC that it's not?

I remember thinking that his mask match with Parka II was really good, maybe the latter's second-best match ever after the genuine classic Park TripleMania main event. That feels genuinely under-the-radar.

I am sure I will get to those PARK matches, maybe revisit them as MOTY Year challenges. I am a little more inspired to try to find new stuff though
