[1989-11-05-Idolos Del Ring] El Hijo del Santo & Eddy Guerrero vs Blue Panther & Negro Casas

[Carlosa]

Three Legends and a young Eddie Guerrero at this point. Really fun match. Just smooth compared to what we watch today. The way they get from submission to the next is effortless. This had to be a house show right? Commentary mentioned how Casas lost a hair vs hair match to Eddie just days earlier. I love the sweeps and trips, it felt like watching a grappling exhibition. The third fall was the best out of the three. I'd give it a ****

This was a very fun showcase of some of the best Mexican wrestlers ever. They wrestled this in a clean manner, which didn't generate much heat from the audience, but allowed them go out and pace this without much pressure for 20+ minutes. Good, competitive matwork and a young Eddy looked extremely polished already. I liked the first caida, that finished with a very cool flashy pin from Santo, but then the match plateaued a bit before picking right back up in the last few minutes.
