Tenese Sarwieh Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Watching clips of Brazo de Plata and Los Brazos got me thinking about some of the great matches that involved trios. Those that come to mind are: Dick Togo, Taka Michinoku & Terry Boy vs. Gran Hamada, Masato Yakushiji & The Great Sasuke (4-13-97) Angel Azteca, Solar I & Super Astro vs Blue Panther, La Parka & Rambo (8-30-92) The Shield Vs. The Wyatt Family (2-23-14) CIMA, Masato Yoshino & Naruki Doi vs. Dragon Kid, Genki Horiguchi & Ryo Saito (3-13-06) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Crackers Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I love trios matches and I'm always bummed when folks want to talk about lucha but focus exclusively on singles matches. During the 80s lucha set I felt like people were really cool on all of the trios matches that made my top ten. These are some some of my favorites: Solar, Ultraman & Super Astro vs Sergio El Hermoso, Bello Greco & Rudy Reyna, UWA 2/26/1984 La Fiera, El Faraón & El Egipico vs MS-1, Satanico & Pirata Morgan EMLL 3/29/1985 Pirata Morgan, Hombre Bala & Verdugo vs Atlantis, Angel Azteca & Ringo Mendoza, EMLL 3/1988 Emilio Charles Jr, Fabuloso Blondy & Pirata Morgan vs El Dandy, Atlantis & El Faraón, EMLL 7/21/1989 Super Astro, Atlantis & El Faraón vs Fuerza Guerrera, Blue Panther & Emilio Charles, EMLL 8/18/1989 Los Brazos vs Hombre Bala, Pirata Morgan & El Verdugo (Super Libre), EMLL 11/10/1989 Los Brazos vs El Satanico, MS-1 & Pirata Morgan (CMLL World Trios Championship Tournament), CMLL 11/22/1991 Super Muñeco, Super Raton & Super Pinocho vs Leono, Panthro & Tigro (Mask vs Mask), Monterrey 12/8/1991 El Hijo Del Santo, Octagon & Rey Misterio Jr. vs Blue Panther, Fuerza Guerrera & Psicosis, AAA 7/15/1994 El Hijo Del Santo, Scorpio Jr. & Bestia Salvaje vs Negro Casas, El Dandy & Hector Garza, CMLL 11/29/1996 Bracito de Oro, Cicloncito Ramirez & Mascarita Magica vs Damiancito el Guerrero, El Fierito & Pierrothito, CMLL 10/3/1997 Negro Navarro, El Texano & El Signo vs Solar, Super Astro & Ultraman, IWRG 2/10/2005 Black Terry, Dr. Cerebro & Chico Che vs El Hijo Del Diablo, Gringo Loco & Avisman, IWRG 3/7/2010 Mascarita Dorada, Astral & Ultimo Dragoncito vs Demus 3:16, Pequeño Pierroth & Pequeño Black Warrior, CMLL 8/13/2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rah Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Rush/Rey Escorpion/Maximo vs Negro Casas/Terrible/Shocker (CMLL 28/06/2014) - the second greatest 6-man of the last decade (behind only Wyatts/Shield). MotDC if there ever was one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoLogic Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 If we're defining trios as any 3 vs. 3 tag match and not just ones done under lucha rules, the early 90s Jumbo/Misawa six-mans (10/19/90 and 4/20/91 being the best of the bunch) lap the field to the point where matches from other promotions barely even merit consideration. Personally, I think lucha trios work much better in a live setting because there's usually so much going on simultaneously, particularly in the third fall, that it's impossible for the cameras to pick up on it all and I hate missing out on any of the action.

Tenese Sarwieh Posted August 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I call any 3 vs 3 match trios and whenever all this could stuff is over I want to travel and seeing a Lucha show live is on the top of my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ Almighty how did I forget these two? These are two of my top ten best matches ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 This or the Santo/Onita trios are my 2 favorites. This is probably my pick for the best La Parka match i've ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeg Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Last year there was a thread similar that had a bunch of great trios listed. The AAA trios from March 95 is still my pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
