Jeff Lynch Lucha DVD Tape 1B Review

Jeff Lynch Mexico Tape #1 Part B (Sept. 1983) Review

1. Sangre Chicana vs. MS1 – Cabellera vs. Cabellera

MS1 unfortunately passed away recently, but it was great to see him on these DVDs doing such awesome work. From what I’ve seen he was truly one of the best rudos and overall workers of his generation in Mexico. Before the match even begins, MS1 attacks Sangre outside of the ring and slams his head against the apron. Highly concerned women at ringside crowd around Sangre and attempt to help him as MS1 lays into him with stomps. Fans are throwing trash at MS1 already as the ref tries to hold him back. Finally he climbs in the ring to gloat to the fans as the match announcements are being made and we see Sangre Chicana is bleeding from the top of his head all the way down his chest. MS1 climbs back out and keeps beating on Sangre. The ref tries to hold him back but MS1 keeps managing to run around him like a cartoon character and kick Sangre before the ref pulls him away. Women flock Sangre on the floor and fan him with their jackets to revive him as MS1 continues the assault into the crowd as Sangre does an awesome job of selling like he’s really hurting badly. MS1 picks him up in a fireman’s carry and dumps him into the ring, then hits a bodyslam and comes off the top with a flying headbutt for a three count to win the first fall. Sangre falls out of the ring and more concerned women sitting ringside help him. One of them wipes the blood off of his face as he sits on his knees, looking battered and exhausted.

MS1 climbs out and boots him in the face then throws him in the ring to begin the second fall. The fans are loudly chanting CHI-CA-NA as MS1 celebrates in the ring and continues to beat on him. Chicana is still bleeding heavily as MS1 pulls him up again but Chicana nails him with a left hand and the crowd goes wild, then hits him with two more that knocks him out of the ring and hits a tope to the outside in a really great sequence and the fans are chanting his name again. Chicana crawls into the ring as the ref counts out MS1 on the outside and wins the second fall by countout, having his hand raised in the middle of the ring while he’s covered in blood as MS1 lay on the outside.

Sangre climbs outside to meet MS1 to begin the third fall and slams MS1’s head directly into the apron in the same fashion that MS1 slammed his head into the apron in the first fall. MS1 comes up and is gushing blood out of his forehead and now both of them are just covered in blood and start brawling in the middle of the ring. MS1 goes for a big right but Sangre ducks and hits a huge left that sends him down. They stagger to their feet as the fans continue to chant Chicana and MS1 knocks him out with a shoulder block and follows it up with a huge tope. They crawl back into the ring and MS1 makes the cover but only gets two and the two of them stagger to their feet again, covered in blood. MS1 goes for an inside cradle but Sangre kicks out at two again. Standing back splash by MS1 for another two count and then he sends Sangre down with a right hand and hits a butterfly suplex for another two count. The mat is just covered in blood at this point. Right hand sends Sangre out again and MS1 hits another huge tope but Sangre moves and MS1 flies into the chairs. Back in the ring, the two of them rise slowly to their feet and Sangre hits a dropkick and then connects on a tope suicida and the crowd roars. Inside, Sangre covers for a two count and they stand again and MS1 hits a bodyslam and goes up top. Another headbutt attempt but Sangre slides away and MS1 lands splat from high in the air in a sick spot, and Sangre covers for another two. They grapple to their feet and MS1 hits another bodyslam and goes up top. MS1 comes off the top with a senton but Sangre moves again and applies a stretch muffler and the crowd roars in approval as MS1 submits and loses his cabellera rubia to a very bloody Sangre Chicana as Sangre’s mom looks on in approval from the audience, smoking a cigarette. MS1 tries to run away after the bell but Sangre runs him down and hits him with another big left hand and then holds him down as they cut his hair in the ring and shave him bald. This was a really awesome match for a ton of reasons, especially the crowd reactions and the crazy brawling.

2. Sangre Chicana/La Fiera/Mocho Cota vs. Infernales (MS1/El Satanico/El Espectro Jr. II)

The first shot of the footage from this match is MS1 standing in the ring with a smug look on his face and a freshly shaved bald head, just an awesome shot. He’s also got quite a snazzy sequined jacket too. Infernales jump the tecnicos on the outside and beat on them before the match even begins, what a bunch of bad guys. They beat down Sangre three on one and the fans desperately chant his name to fight back but he gets dumped to the outside with the rest. Back in the ring and a three on one on Sangre until the others come to break it up but get beat down as well. Everyone brawls together around the ring and Satanico stomps down Sangre in the middle of the ring. Los Infernales clear the ring again and stand down the tecnicos as they make their way back to the apron. More brawling and the rudos continue to beat down the tecnicos, with Mocho getting held down and stomped until Fiera runs in and gets beat down as well. Mocho, wearing bright banana yellow trunks, gets held up by Espectro while MS1 stomps him and the refs try to pull them apart while Espectro bites him on the forehead and busts him open. MS1 holds him up and punches him right in the forehead a few more times to open up the cut and now Cota is bleeding a lot and gets tossed outside of the ring and Satanico follows in pursuit. Brawling continues and the tecnicos start t fight back as the rowd goes crazy. Sangre and Cota double team Espectro while Fiera throws MS1 into the ring post outside and the tecnicos take over. Inside, Cota locks Espectro in a submission, something like a tirabuzón with Espectro in the seated position, and he submits. MS1 jumps in and starts brawling with Fiera but gets sent out again and the rudos triple team Satanico. They hold him in a standing armlock and he submits and the tecnicos take the fall while the ref checks Cota’s cuts. The rudos continue to fight and pull Fiera out of the ring, MS1 tries to bulldog him into the ring post but Fiera pushes him into it. Crazy brawling now and Sangre and MS1 are facing off in the center of the ring and brawl to the outside. All six men keep brawling around the ring and Cota gets Espectro down and starts tearing at his mask and Fiera backdrops MS1 and he goes splat on the ringside mats. The tecnicos keep beating down the rudos in a big way , and Satanico jumps in the ring and kicks Fiera with a low blow for the foul and the tecnicos win. Lots of crazy brawling in this match and more blood for the crazy people. Afterwards, Cota rips off Espectro’s mask and celebrates with it as they help Sangre Chicana up who is selling the beating.

3. NWA Middleweight Championship: El Satanico (C) vs. Lizmark

Long stand-off to start the match with each man tentatively trying to lock up with one another. Finally they lock up and Satanico wrenches at a side headlock but Lizmark hits a takedown and then locks him in an STF and they exchange holds and then stand up after a few. Lizmark rolls out of a pin attempt and then does an awesome cartwheel into single leg takedown that someone should definitely steal and use today. They stand again and Satanico hits an arm drag and holds on an armbar and hits an over the head armdrag. Back up again, Satanico takes down Lizmark and goes for a leglock but he reverses it into a crossface. To their feet again and they lock up but Satanico hits a hip toss, then up again but Lizmark hits a big dropkick that sends Satanico into the ropes. They trade holds for a little bit then criss cross the ropes and Lizmark goes for a moonsault off the top. Satanico moves, but Lizmark lands on his feet and armdrags him. They criss cross again, Lizmark armdrags him again and then hits a butterfly suplex with a big slam and pins him for three to take the first fall.

Second fall begins and Lizmark hits a drop toe hold and a couple strikes to the back of the head of Satanico then a somersault neckbreaker. Reverse chinlock by Lizmark on Satanico but he gets his foot on the ropes. Satanico falls outside and regroups with his Segundo while Lizmark waits in the ring. Back inside goes Satanico and Lizmark hits the dreaded Martinete causing Satanico to flop around shaking like he’s paralyzed, then he hits another one and Satanico shakes and seizes again. Two dropkicks in a row by Lizmark followed by a headscissors attempt but Satanico reverses it into a powerbomb and gets a three count to take the second fall.

Third fall starts with Satanico charging at Lizmark in the corner but he moves and rolls Satanico up for a two. Abdominal stretch by Lizmark but Satanico hiptosses him, sprints off the ropes and hits a senton for two. They criss cross again and Lizmark hits two flying body blocks and covers for a two. They struggle to their feet and Lizmark rolls him up with a bridge for another two. Another rollup attempt by Satanico now and another kickout. Lizmark throws him into the corner and goes in but Satanico ducks and Lizmark goes out then hits a huge crossbody off the top for a big nearfall that gets the fans buzzing. Satanico goes for a big spear but Lizmark moves and Satanico spills to the floor, then Lizmark goes up top and hits a nice plancha on Satanico. Back inside, another flying body block by Lizmark gets a two count and the two of them are dead exhausted laying in the ring. Satanico locks up on a quebradora de caballo but Lizmark rolls through and covers Satanico for two as the fans begin to chant Lizmark’s name. Back up, two dropkicks by Lizmark and he locks on a surfboard then flips Satanico all the way over onto his shoulders and Satanico pins Lizmark’s shoulders down for the three count to retain the belt. These two had a great technical match though the finish was a little flat.

4. Halcon Ortiz vs. Cien Caras – Beginning only

The DVD footage only features the beginning of this match. Halcon starts out by doing a promo in his corner and he’s wearing the same banana yellow color trunks that Mocho Cota wore but he has a white cape as well, looking like quite the man. The two of them lock up and grapple all the way out of the ring and then get back in and lock up some more as the tape runs out.
