The whole playlist is here , for your continuous viewing pleasure.  El Hijo del Santo vs Negro Casas - July 18, 1987 I was thinking about Hijo del Santo early this week, and I'm not entirely sure, but if you asked me right now, I think I'd say he's the greatest wrestler off all time.

El Hijo del Santo vs Psicosis - May 3, 1995 These guys supposedly have a ton of great matches, but this is the only one I've seen. If this is any indication, I'd bet the rest are pretty great.

Aside from that, this match has a lot of fun counters, including Taue grabbing a chokeslam out of a Shiranui attempt. Post-prime Taue is the best of the post-prime Pillars. Larry Zbyszko vs Sgt. Slaughter - September 7, 1985 I dig Zbyszko, he has a rep for stalling and doing a lot of nothing, which is mostly unfounded. He rules. Sgt, Slaughter, not a real military officer apparently, is one of the best wrestlers ever and takes a stupid bump to the outside on a mi...
