Satanico & Espectro Jr. v El Faraon & La Fiera (8/12/84)
This was pretty fucking great, but the dodgy tape jumping at points
means we miss out on what looked like a few big transitions/momentum
swings (Satanico/Espectro are mid-comeback, then there's a skip in the
tape and it jumps to Faraon dropping Espectro with a fucking Ganso
Bomb!). And that always bugs the shit out of me. Still, what we get
ruled pretty hard. Fiera was a wildman in this, punching guys with a
spiked glove, drinking their blood, nearly killing himself on a missed
tope, etc. He and Faraon take the beating too far and are DQ'd in the
first fall, and in between falls there's a crazy shot of both of them
biting Satanico while Satanico lies there quivering helplessly. It was
like something out of a Rob Zombie flick. At one point they grab
Espectro in a dual surfboard and start ripping his mask at the same
time. The tape jumps are especially annoying because they usually happen
right as Satanico snaps and goes to murder folks. And those are moments
you don't want to be missing. Finish is nuts, with Faraon body slamming
Satanico face-first onto Fiera's knee (looked crazy as shit), Fiera
missing a tope on Espectro and taking a psychotic faceplant bump to the
floor, then Faraon following it up by actually hitting a tope of his
own. Post-match bodies are strewn everywhere and Faraon is even giving
Fiera chest compressions! Should comfortably finish top half.
