[2000-08-15-CMLL] Tarzan Boy vs Satanico

[ohtani's jacket]

This was a mano a mano bout that highlighted how far Tarzan Boy had come since the beginning of this feud. Satanico attacks him while still wearing his jacket and do-rag and Tarzan Boy immediately fights back and rips Satanico's jacket in half. Now Tarzan Boy is the aggressor, beating on Satanico and making him hurt. Satanico takes a beating for a large portion of this match and Tarzan Boy's confidence borders on arrogance. You can feel the pendulum shifting even if Tarzan Boy is still a tecnico at this stage. They slip in some fouls and there are the usual shenanigans with Satanico faking a foul but it's well sold and the tecnico fans are pretty hot for a mano a mano bout. The tercera caida has some nice counters and escapes and again Tarzan Boy shows how much he's grown since the start of the year. He botches the finish, which hurts the overall effectiveness of the bout, but it's still worth watching if you've followed the Satanico vs. Tarzan Boy feud and is the missing piece between the hair match and the double turn.
