[2002-04-07-Monterrery] La Parka vs Dr Wagner Jr (Super Libre)

[ohtani's jacket]

This was a nice old-school super libre match. They could have coasted by on showboating and cheap heat, but they actually made an effort to do some old school brawling. There was too much plunder for my liking, but by 2002 weapons of that sort were endemic. Of course, this being Monterrey, there was a ton of bullshit with the referee that went on forever and threatened to spoil the bout. Still, this was worth comparing to CMLL apuesta matches to get a feel for the differences.

This would've been pretty good if it were 10-15 minutes shorter. But they needed to burn a ton of clock and filled with walk & brawl and run-ins that became quite tedious in addition to glacial. The pieces were here but both are capable of worlds better with each other and others. These Monterrey matches often leave me thinking they're paid based on how long they go.
