[Tainted Eclipse]

oh man tonight? panther/averno hair v. hair and another rush/casas tag, pumped as hell for this now.

[Hero!]

I think i realized why i struggle to get into lucha. I can not get used to six-man tags.

[Tainted Eclipse]

well not only that but there are lucha trios tropes that will look weird as fuck to anyone not used to lucha. like how one team will have all their members pinned/tapped out at the same time, and in moves that probably look significantly weaker than the moves that had been used as part of the fall before hand. honestly though you just gotta keep watching trios, you'll sort of get the "feel" of it and it will make sense to you/not be jarring anymore. it is something of a bridge to gap but anyone should do it because lucha is fucking awesome and seriously underappreciated on the net.

i mean shit, in what other style are there wrestlers who were the best in the world in the late 80s, and who were still the best in the world in the late 2000s. negro casas might be the best in the world right now in 2013 and he was an elite level worker since like 87 or before.

alright opener, fun dive section and ishii getting the win off his suplex was cool. frame rate is pretty annoying.

[Defrost]

I think the lowered the quality in that last break so the frame rate is better

[Defrost]

I liked that match. It had Super Porky and many flips.

[Tainted Eclipse]

yeah, very fun match. the porky splash and tope were awesome.

[Defrost]

The dogs are in the enclosed pool area

[Defrost]

I wish this match was Rush vs Negro Casas in a singles match

Actually I want a Casas vs Ishii singles match

[Tainted Eclipse]

ahahahahahaha, the benoit theme?

that match ruled. casas' double stomp was nasty as hell.

[Defrost]

Ultimate Rudo move. Show up to a hair match with your head already shaved

[Defrost]

Panther got fucked. I am outraged.

Match of the night so far.

[Tainted Eclipse]

man that match was really great. averno sacrificing mephisto to panther's dive was the best.

[Tainted Eclipse]

after this show new japan can fuck themselves about not airing copyrighted music on their streams

[Defrost]

Wait that was one fall? No Atlantis vs Guerrero? Bullshit.

[Tainted Eclipse]

ugh

[Tainted Eclipse]

hahaha the crowd fucking hates it

[Defrost]

This crowd is pissed

[Tainted Eclipse]

man i so dont give a fuck about those nobodies in a mask v. mask match. WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS. why would you not want ATLANTIS in your 80th anniversary main?

[Defrost]

This is indeed a legendary night. The night the oldest wrestling promotion in the world killed the territory.

[Defrost]

Crowd still chanting FRAUDE. Don't think I need to translate that.

[Tainted Eclipse]

hahaha, those guys busted out some of the craziest spots you can see and only got a very mild pop for a second before again being flooded with outraged booing

[Defrost]

Fraude chant is back

[Tainted Eclipse]

this match wont end

[Defrost]

Wow they managed to get the crowd back. Good from them. Amazing third fall.

[Tainted Eclipse]

i do think it was a good show overall, but man was it not what it should have been

[Cewsh]

I've only come to lucha in recent years, so I have to tell you that I'm infinitely more interested in that match with it being between Volador and La Sombra.
