Loss Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Some impressive highspots, but not really anything special as a match. This was included so we would have everything that is on Jeff Lynch's 16-tape Best of 1991 set on the yearbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I dunno if that moonsault headbutt was what the Headhunter was going for, but a regular press would have worked a lot better. Fantasma looked good, especially for a big lucha musclehead, and Dos had a fun opening flurry, but there wasn't much to this. The fanboy after-the-fact overdubbed commentary was real, real distracting--and would have been moreso if I'd understood what they were saying.

Kevin Ridge Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Set up a ring in an outdoor music venue. Headhunters look very skinny compared to later years. Nothing specials sums this one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Weird venue that felt like a wrestling exhibition at a festival or something. Match was pretty blah overall and Dos Caras didn't add a lot to the proceedings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR Ackermann Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 This seemed very...amateur. Fantasma looked really silly making such a big deal drawing attention to his upcoming chair shot and then doing a Lance Storm. Where's Garetta? It looks like I've caught up with him in 1991 and now missing his take on things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'm here, DR. I took some time off to refresh my brain and tend to some other things that I'd neglected for too long. As for this bout, it was weird, to say the least. There was a fair bit of action, but very little tag team continuity. What there was of it, the Mexicans had, as I don't think the Headhunters tagged more than once in the whole match. But the moonsault got the win for them anyway, as sloppy as it looked. That finish was a bit of a surprise to me, as I was sure that the guy would miss, which would lead to a hot tag by the Mexican team. I've heard the name Headhunters before, of course, but where has this particular incarnation worked? I thought I remembered a team called the New Guinea Headhunters in Continental during the mid-to-late eighties. Are these the same guys?

Jingus Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Not the same guys, the fat twin Headhunters debuted in 87. They mostly worked the hardcore circuit: ECW, W*ing, FMW, IWA, and some in Mexico and Puerto Rico too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 So I guess 2 cheap Abdullah knock-offs is better than 1. And one of them can do a moonsault, yay? Be nice if they were anything beyond serviceable in the ring. And I feel like I'm being generous giving them that. Fantasma throws a nice dropkick, but it seems like that's all he's good for. This match was....really forgettable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
