RIPPA Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Oh Lord do I motherfucking love the Villanos. I originally thought that one day I would do III as a separate WOTD but yeah that will never happen now since you fuckers hate the lucha so it is all Villanos all the fucking time. God I never want to have to pick my favorite lucha family because that would be the worst Sophie's Choice of all the Sophie's Choices.
RIPPA Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 THERE IS NOT ENOUGH FUCKING VILLANOS VS BRAZOS ON THE FUCKING INTERNET!!! Six fucking parts of the worst quality of the greatest match ever
PolishHammer Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I love Villanos, especially III. This face is everything that's great about lucha Really dig his series with Rambo.
J.T. Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Whomever professes any Villanos hate or posts the match where Kanyon and Raven break one of the Villanos should be automatically banned. ANNNDREEEEE ELLLL GIGANTEEEEEE~!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Curt McGirt Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCQHgqvnUS4 EDIT: What year is ^this^ match from? They have the OG Sangre Chicana vs. Villano III on here in terrible quality if you really need to see it/don't have the lucha set.
Curt McGirt Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Hey guess what here's more Villanos than just III
PolishHammer Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Do younger generations count? Because V's son beating the hell out of (maybe/maybe not) fake Brazo is pretty great CASSANDRO! vs Los Mercenarios Americanos And here's AAA match I couldn't find when I was posting Villano III vs Rambo matches Such a beatiful bloodbath. 1
RIPPA Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 I'm kinda shocked I beat Dean to this one http://youtu.be/3G4uDRAwqNc Sadly it seems all the version of Regal vs. "Tony Pena" have been yanked off the internet
cool arrow Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 So... this happened. Danger: High Dosage! SANTO NEGRO~!
Lazlo Woodbine Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Do younger generations count? Because V's son beating the hell out of (maybe/maybe not) fake Brazo is pretty great That was superb. Led me to this, which is good fun itself.
Tim Evans Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Canadian Tiger and VIllano IV and V vs Negro Navarro, Black Power and EL Signo.
Lazlo Woodbine Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Sadly it seems all the version of Regal vs. "Tony Pena" have been yanked off the internet Still viewable on Popscreen somehow. TSteck160 vids will live forever. 1
Phil Schneider Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 That Kortiz v. Brazo Jr. was one of my best OCD searching the internet discoveries. Here is the SC review 14. Brazo Jr. v. Kortiz WMC 8/24PAS: This is the son of a Brazo vs. the son of a Villano and it is the kind of gritty a old school bloody lucha singles match which would have been right at home on the 80's set and something which does the legacy of that family feud proud. Kortiz is great, really a nasty asskicker truly in the family tradition, he mauls Brazo Jr. early with nasty punches, and post shots until Brazo Jr.'s gear is covered in blood. Very traditional structure for this kind of match, with one sided rudo domination early, until Brazo ducks a punch and unloads with an over hand slap. He then takes over and bloodies Kortiz by smashing his head into the top of the metal post. Then we get more of a back and forth match including an awesome section with both guys on their knees unloading everything they have. The finish was a little goofy, with Brazo's second faking a towel throw, and then Kortiz gets distracted, his mask pulled off and rolled up, but for a bs finish it was pretty clever.ER: This was a 3 part match for me (well, erm…I suppose most lucha matches are). I loved the first two parts, right up with the best stuff I've seen all year, and the third part was good but lost me a little by the end. But damn those first two parts. Kortiz comes out not rocking the Villano name, but unmistakably rocking the Villano body and viciousness. You realize what kind of match this is going to be around the 4 minute mark, as the action had spilled out in front of the camera and Kortiz punches Brazo a lot right in the ear, and Kortiz is really mean throughout all of this. His overhand chops sound like the sound-sweetened versions on Lucha Underground. Brazo looked like kind of a pushover (I really appreciate that somebody somewhere taped this, but you get the feeling the match would be that much better if filmed up close so we could really get inside Brazo's selling and comeback) until a missed Kortiz strike and then it was on! Possibly my favorite lucha moment of the year (and think of the ground that covers in 2014) sees Kortiz climbing up the ropes but getting caught by Brazo, and with both men facing out towards the corner, Brazo starts bashing Kortiz's face into the edge of the ring post. I've never seen that before and lucky us it was happening on the post closest to camera side, so we could see all the glory of a guy getting smashed into a ring post. We get some nasty leg work from Brazo in the tercera, the worst when Kortiz has his leg draped over the bottom rope and Brazo just curb stomps right through it. They lost me a little with some move and submission trading, but upon rewatching the match it wasn't really nearly as bad as my initial impressions. There aren't wild lucha brawls with blood anymore so I should really have been focused more on how exciting THAT was, instead of getting a little lost with some mostly pointless "but he didn't sell the knee long enough" type stuff. As a whole picture the match was great, total hidden gem that - thanks to Phil's OCD about searching for obscure wrestlers every day on the internet - totally pays off.
twiztor Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 is there any Villano II here? i see 1, 3, 4, & 5. i'm not up on my lucha, so someone please link me to a 2 match.
odessasteps Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 He passed away in 1989. Not sure how much footage there is of his matches.
RIPPA Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Yeah - II wrestled really sporadically from like the mid-70s on. He committed suicide due to depression which wrestling most likely had some hand in. I am 99% sure I have never seen a II match. Heck - I think all the matches of 1 I have seen are posted in this thread
