[2003-12-07-LLA] Negro Casas & Felino vs Dr Wagner Jr & Black Tiger

[ohtani's jacket]

This was a great looking match on paper but was mostly a mediocre brawl with not one, but two, referee stretcher jobs. There was some slick running between the ropes from Felino and Black Tiger, and Casas vs. Wagner was good when they weren't busy fluffing about, but the finish was the kind of abject nonsense that makes people hate Monterrey. The ref started running the ropes like a madman and hit Wagner with a clothesline then counted the pin. The crowd loved it, which I guess should count for something, but how many great matches on paper have been ruined by Monterrey BS. I should know better at this point, but even if the matches are rarely above house show level, you still think there's going to be that one gem that slips through the cracks. Forgettable year for Negro Casas. The next time someone says he was one of the best in the world for every year of his career, call them out on it.
