Reel in Place

  vs Blue Panther & Volodor (AAA 11/28/93) Right off the rip, and I suppose this might be the expectation, man, Eddy and Barr are a great heel team and going up against Blue Panther, who is being mobbed by fans walking to the ring, these guys don't have to do a ton to get the crowd invested. I think the structure is a bit lacking because of that, there are heat segments and a shine, but nothing is really all that defined or prolonged. At some point, Eddy sells a backbreaker by scotting on his knees halfway across the ring; a great stooging hell move. Things really start to pick up when Art Barr rips off Volodor's mask, puts it on to go over and punch Panther, and throws it to Eddy to put back on Volodor to avoid the DQ. With his mask back on, Volodor is back up and fighting off both. Just when it seems that Volodor's turned the tide, Blue Panther decks Volodor. Eddy hits a sort of bridging SOS for the win. Not a great match, but boy does this seem like a great heel team...

Villano I,  Villano IV, & Villano V vs Kung Fu, Mascara Sagrada, Popitekus (EMLL 4/13/1990) The team of Mascara Sagrada, Popitekus, and Kung Fu is a bit of a mish-mash, but I actually think they form a pretty decent team here. The first fall has a little bit of everything and ends with the technicos getting the first pin. Mascara Sagrada and Villano I work the mat for the majority of the second fall, Kung Fu and Popitekus enter the fray only to get pinned by Villanos, and we are on our way to the third fall. The third fall has its moments, like Mascara Sagrada calling out Villano I or Popitekus doing a tope suicida, but it also has its misses, like Popiteku selling a kick that missed by a foot and a groin shot off a missed leapfrog leading being the finish. Some good, some bad, a pretty decent trios match, all things considered.  Villano I,  Villano IV, & Villano V vs Los Mercenarios Americanos (Tijuana 7/19/1991) This is Mask vs Mask, Perro Aguayo is roaming arou...
