I was watching the second Portland disc last night and I think the second of the Rose/Borne matches is a duplicate of the first.

This is great. I'm in for both. The only PNW stuff I've seen are the matches from the Rose comp (which are all superb). And I'm completely new to PR.

I went to a 2pm showing and it was packed. I thought it was fantastic. I really enjoyed the story and the action sequences were top notch.

Not happy with the set or your ballot? I think the general rule for people who've been thru the ballot process before is that after the top 25 it's really not worth stressing yourself over the difference between 46 & 47. My ballot. This is 8th set I've sent a ballot for so I know what its like past a certain point. I think the problem was that I really like lucha but generally prefer single rather than trios (or even tags for that matter) so this set was always going to be mixed.

I've sent in my ballot. I can't say that beyond the top 10 - 20 I'm hugely happy with it. Is the next set coming soon?

When you level up, increasing your stamina will raise your carry weight (by 5?). Also, the armour trees have perks that make your suit weightless.

Thanks Jet. I think I'll wait a while longer then.

This might be a silly question but, do you need an xbox gold account to use the online things?

Do I win anything?

Disc three rankings: Gran Cochise vs. Satanico (9/14/84) Satanico vs. Super Astro (10/26/84) Satanico vs. Shiro Koshinaka (Hair vs. Hair) (7/30/84) Sangre Chicana vs. MS-1 (Hair vs. Hair) (9/21/84) Villano III vs. Perro Aguayo (10/7/84) Javier Cruz, Impacto y Solar II vs. El Dandy, Franco Colombo y Panico (10/84) Atlantis, Ringo Mendoza y Tony Salazar vs. El Satanico, MS-1 y Espectro Jr. (9/28/84) El Satanico y Espectro Jr. v. El Faraón y La Fiera (8/12/84) Perro Aguayo vs. Sangre Chicana vs. El Faraón vs. Villano III (Elimination Match) (10/84)This disc was of two extremes for me. I really dug the top four but found the rest to be a bit of a chore to watch.

It took me a little while but I really got into this match. Its not at all what I was expecting from Astro, whom I've seen a fair wee bit of but mostly later 80s/90s stuff. I was thinking this would be the little fellas usual type of match but its quite the departure. Or is it? Maybe I've just been watching a one-sided selection. Anyway, it was grand.

Disc two rankings: Mocho Cota vs. Americo Rocca (1/27/84) Mocho Cota vs. Americo Rocca (2/3/84) Atlantis vs. El Satanico (1984) Lizmark vs. El Satanico (April 1984) Tony Salazar vs. Herodes (3/2/84)Enrique Vera vs. Dos Caras (2/26/84) Jerry Estrada vs. Ultraman (3/2/84) Hijo del Santo, Ringo Mendoza y Chamaco Valaguez vs. Jerry Estrada, Fuerza Guerrera y Talisman (3/9/84) Solar, Ultraman y Super Astro vs. Sergio El Hermoso, Bello Greco y Rudy Reyna (2/26/84) El Faraón, Herodes y Mocho Cota vs. Lizmark, Ringo Mendoza y Tony Salazar (2/24/84) Atlantis y Lizmark vs. El Egipcio y El Faraón (2/17/84)

I don't know about people here but he did a F4D in 2006 that I seem to remember liking.

I think the piledriver was banned because someone was paralyzed with one. I'm guessing that came after this. Its not the only piledriver on the set either.

Disc 1 ranking: MS-1 vs. Sangre Chicana (9/23/83) Atlantis y El Hijo del Santo vs. Fuerza Guerrera y Lobo Rubio (11/25/83) Tatsumi Fujinami vs. El Canek (6/12/83) Centurion Negro vs. Gran Hamada (2/14/82) El Canek vs. Don Corleone (2/14/82) Sangre Chicana vs. Ringo Mendoza (10/28/83) Satoru Sayama y Gran Hamada vs. Perro Aguayo y Baby Face (4/13/80) Kevin von Erich, Mascara Ano 2000 y Halcon Ortiz v. Coloso Colosetti, Pirata Morgan y Herodes (9/23/83) Espectro Jr., Satanico y MS-1 vs. Mocho Cota, Sangre Chicana y La Fiera (9/30/83) Andre the Giant & Cien Caras vs. Alfonso Dantes, Herodes y Sangre Chicana (1981)Overall it was a really good way to start a set as it had a little bit of everything in it. Really whet my appetite for the rest of the set. Have to agree with Tim about MS1/Chicana setting the mark for other matches to beat. My money is Dandy or Satanico being the guy to do it.
