[1986-09-20-WWA] Fuerza Guerrera vs Negro Casas

[Phil Schneider]

Dataintcash delivers again!! Here is two of the all time greats popping up with a previously unseen match which is the earliest footage we have from either guy. It is a little strange to watch a pair of consummate rudos work this kind of fast paced juniors style, but no surprise, they are really great at it. Two pretty solid initial falls with Fuerza doing some especially nifty armdrags where he never loses contact with the arm, and then a final nutso fall. Fuerza takes his signature bump to the floor at warp speed, and Casas follows it up with an out of control tope. They then exchange electric chair drops and bow and arrow counters, before Casas hits a Rita Romero slam and Casita for the pin. This is the kind of match which would have blown minds in 1986, although this kind of highspot juniors wrestling doesn't age as well as other styles. Still a true out of the blue treat and a great chance to see a pair of legends as athletic young guys.

Oh weird, we must have missed on the 80s set, still pretty cool that it showed up on youtube

Yeah this has been around for at least two decades from the few remaining tapes of the Benjamin Mora shows from Los Angeles. This upload is from the early 90s WWA TV where they mixed in 86-87 LA with early 90s Tijuana. I have somewhere a version of the original airing in Los Angeles but haven't been able to find anything else that isn't out there already.
