Rush
vs. Negro Casas
This might
be the very best under-10 minute match of all time. I’ve never seen this one
before, hell, I didn’t even know it existed until accidentally stumbling upon
it on YouTube. And bah gawd, it’s all about Rush and 4:40 going HAM at each
other in a highly violent and gruesome fashion, holy shit was this scuffle
glorious or what? Negro violently charges at Rush early on, realizing it’s one
of those “kill or be killed” situations where he mustn’t leave any room for his
bitter enemy to breathe, show no mercy because this is a dirty war. But Rush is
just way too young and strong for Negro, which means he managed to outpower
him, so when he gained control he unleashed a truly rough and barbaric beating
on poor Negro. What followed was one of my favorite brawling bits I have ever
seen, true story, with Rush just using the 50+ year old as his own personal
punchbag, and Negro selling everything like he got hit by a fucking speeding
bus. It was borderline uncomfortable. But it was fantastic. This match is a “pure”
pro-wrestling brawl, it was short, but they still managed to convey a
relatively traditional mini-closing stretch, with dramatic counters and all.
Stupendously superb tussle, such a must-see clash that really puts things into
perspective when it comes to the wonderful Rush/Casas feud.
