[1987-09-02-WWC] Carlos Colon vs Hercules Ayala (Barbed Wire Figure Four Match)

[tcg91]

Not a simple Barbed Wire match, as in this one they could only win with a figure four. It was an unique stipulation to be honest, as they did the usual barbed wire spots, but this also established the barbed ropes as a way to prevent a wrestler from leaving the ring and free themselves from the the figure four. It made sense, as their previous match was pretty much only fought outside the ring, so this was a way to forced them inside the squared circle. Decent legwork and white hot crowd for Colon, especially when this got bloody as Puerto Rico's hits usually did. Great finish as well, as Hercules grabbed the ropes instinctively while in the figure four and had to deal with the wire. This was so much better than I expected.
***3/4
