New IWRG: Brawling Is Awesome (well... not always)

IWRG 2014/12/7

SUPER LIBRE: Canis Lupus & Eterno vs. Oficial 911 & Danny Casas

Hell yeah, this is what I’m talking about, this is what IWRG needs to be like, the IWRG we all know and love. Just a nasty, dangerous and crazy hardcore slugfest with buckets of blood, heavy brawling, striking, punching, chairshots, etc. The caida finishes were well done and the pacing was awesome and catchy, finally done right in this fed. The match finish was especially good with 911 and Casas going batshit wild at each other after three cases of heavy miscommunication, they set up a hair match for next week.

****1/2

Traumas (I & II) vs. Negro Navarro & Black Terry

In Chilanga Mask or Monterrey this would’ve ended up being a MOTYC or something, but not here in IWRG unfortunately. Don’t get me wrong, this was still a good match, but it needed to be amazing considering the names involved. Navarro was unbearable once again, he got way more ring time than Terry, which is unfortunate because Terry vs. Trauma II, that’s where the money is, they had some amazing sequences where vicious strikes were thrown, and their post-match stuff was glorious, here’s hoping we see a lucha de apuesta between the two, preferably in Chilanga Mask, sweet Jesus would that rock or what? Terry bled of course. Navarro had a lot of beef with Trauma I, and I marked out every time he got chopped silly, that was the only thing he was good for in this match. All in all, good match with some great fucking ingredients, but ultimately hurt by questionable booking and Negro Navarro, who’s become a growing pain in my ass.

***1/4

Cabellera vs. Cabellera: Oficial 911 vs. Danny Casas

The ending was such a lolworthy bullshit, the match was very good until it occurred, especially the first two falls, the tercera was so-so, it lacked good pacing and something was just… off. But still, good cabellera match overall with both guys brawling hard and bleeding properly. Danny is Negro Casas’ nephew and not bad at all, I wonder why he doesn’t work in CMLL.
