My review of the Mascaras / Santana vs. Masked Superstar / Super D match: 1 - nice long shine to start the match - Tito worked the headlock and kept coming back to it - very old school - 2 - really nice leapfrog by Super D - good agility and impressive for a big man 3 - nice cross body by Tito - the crowd really popped for it - Superstar really sold well in the corner - 4 - Mascaras tags in - nice long shine spot for Mil - Masked Superstar bumped all over the ring for Mil and sold all of his signature moves really well - 5 - Super D back in with some nice chain wrestling with Mil - nice standing surfboard spot - I am struck by how obviously shorter / smaller Mil appears in comparison to the other 3 guys in the match - but Mil does appear to be thick / stocky and in great shape - as always he is sucking in his stomach - LOL (couldn't resist that one) - 6 - Tito is back in and goes back to the headlock - good psychology - Super D misses with an impressive cross body - impressive for a man his size - at this point I am really enjoying this match! 7 - Mascaras worked well with both heels - probably one of the best matches I've seen Mil in outside of Japan - amazed at how much Mil sold and effective / dramatic it was! Wish Mil had sold more now in other matches. Super effective in my opinion. 8 - Tito Santana move at 14:38 - did Paul actually call that a "nutcracker"? I laughed out loud on that one. 9 - nice Super Plex by Super D - his signature maneuver 10 - amazing heat for finish - Mascaras kept out by the referee - double body slam then interference by Gran Markus to set up the rematch. 11 - go back to 14:25 - Tito wanted to crash both heel's heads together but Superstar (or was it Super D) already had gone out through the ropes - so Tito improvised - this match is wrestled the old school way - improvised not choreographed - so you could adjust on the fly - this is a forgotten style these days. Really enjoyable match for me!

The ring to ring dive was pretty cool - also Kevin wearing boots. Love how the boys always worked with Uncle Gary early on so he could take care of them / control the pace of the match. Von Erich's got a pretty good pop in Houston. I think Paul said this was Houston's first look at David. Historical match.

ONLINE TODAY at NWAClassics.com! "HACKSAW" BUTCH REED vs. TERRY TAYLOR - from May 11, 1984!

What amazed me about this match was the incredible heat the Midnight Express had. Bobby Eaton nearly got into it with a fan at ringside before the match started. And did you see the debris hit the ring on the finish. Especially where Condrey tried to blame the chain on the Rock n' Roll Express? The people were legitimately MAD - white hot heat - again you just don't see that kind of believeability anymore. Great match!
-
One of the cool things about NWAClassics.com for me is - we get to see Chavo Guerrero babyface and heel - we get to see Dr. Death Steve Williams work babyface and heel - we get to see Butch Reed work babyface and heel - we get to see Hacksaw Duggan work babyface and heel - even Gino to an extent work babyface and heel - these are case studies for true students of the wrestling business.

And the amazing thing is we have released maybe 10% of the library! There are so many amazing matches that still need to be transferred and uploaded to the network. This clearly could be the most extensive vintage wrestling collection in history.
