THE MOTHERFUCKING INTERNET: Klan v. Klan, Hood contra Hood

Klu Klux Klan I v. Klu Klux Klan II Mascara contra Mascara 1993



A member of the wrestling Grimaldo family has shown up on youtube and is posting early 90s indy lucha for us all to enjoy. This is a battle of Klansman to see who gets to continue wearing the hood and who is forced to just join the alt-Right. Early parts of this match have two guys of similar builds wearing identical outfits pounding on each other, with the occasional small cut and blurriness it was a little like watching 3 card monte, you never knew which guy was which. 2 rips 1s mask pretty bad, and after that you could get a sense of who's who. This was baseline apeusta lucha, nothing stood out completely, but baseline apuestas lucha is pretty great. Good punches, some mask ripping, a lot of heat, that is wrestling I am going to enjoy

THE MOTHERFUCKING INTERNET: Yume Factory v. Shin FMW

Tarzan Goto/Ryo Miyake vs. Shinichi Nakano/Masayoshi Motegi WDF 7/16/1997



PAS: What a sleaze soaked pleasure this match was, the wrestling equivalent of eating a giant roadhouse bacon cheeseburger. Goto is a treasure in this, I can't believe I ever used to diss this dude. He basically works this as a fat grotesque Tenryu as he beats the bricks off of Motegi with chair edges, meaty punches right to the nose and thick headbuts. Motegi bleeds a ton and was pretty great as a fired up babyface, by far the best I have seen him look. Nakano and Miyake were really fun as the secondary dudes too, they would tag in and slap the shit out of who ever was in the ring. I really miss this kind of dirtbag Puro indy, now all Japanese indies seem to be about telling jokes, there was nothing funny about this match at all.
