Triton/Caveman

Campeonato Nacional Peso Welter: Triton vs. Barbaro Cavernario ©


What a fantastic clash. I was expecting a great match, but not this great, because Triton is not Titan. But this was even slightly better than Cavernario/Titan from months ago. Here we had the 2014 version of Cavernario, which means he didn't give a shit about traditional matwork and chain wrestling, all he wanted is to beat Triton up, in gruesome ways. Cavernario doesn't respect the sanctity of a lucha title match, no way, he simply wrestles every match like lucha de apuesta. They totally beat bajesus out of each other here, all the dives and slams were highly punishing, not only they matched Lee and Kamaitachi in that department, they also topped them. Also the fans were into it, which didn't hurt. There were few instances of loose timing in execution and technique, but it didn't hurt the match at all, and there were also two botches in tercera, one of them being very funny, it might affect some people's judgment/rating of the match, but I didn't mind them. This shit was amazing.

****3/4

  1. Any chance you'll review the recent Suzuki/Sugiura match? Always love reading your reviews.

  2. You know what, I might just do that, because I'm curios about that one. Sugi's been bad for years now, but what the hell, everything is possible in pro-scraps. Are you the guy who was requesting Kaile/KUSH from BOSJ? Totally forgot about that one, my new job is killing me these days. Feel free to request more stuff, because I keep forgetting.

    And thanks for reading!

    1. Yeah I am the same guy who asked for O'Reilly/KUSHIDA review from BOSJ. Very interested to see your thoughts on that match, since you are probably the biggest Kyle fan I've seen. ;)
