[1987-07-18-WWC] Carlos Colon vs Hercules Ayala (Texas Death Match)

[tcg91]

This was quite hard to rate, one could claim it is a great match or a weak one and I would agree with both views. Colon was such a fantastic babyface with his dramatic expressions and comeback teasing, he took a hell of a beatdown from Hercules and bled buckets, getting the crowd behind him. However, this was too long at 30+ minutes and plus it felt like they were just filling time on occasions (intense leg work and a Texas Death Match didn't really look like a perfect combo, especially if it gets quickly forgotten). Great finish, as it protected the babyface and got tons of heat on the heel.
