![]() I've spent the bulk of my morning in tears. It's a situation that I don't think can be duplicated again. Both guys give their farewells, including Dean who's character of the Shooter never spoke on camera until that moment. Each guy kicks out of each others big moves and the match ends when Dean rolls up Eddy and bridges, but Eddy catches Dean's arm so he ends in a draw. Malenko quickly scores the second fall after countering an Eddy hop out of the corner into a double leg slam and then into the Texas Cloverleaf. Eddy takes the first fall after the two fight over a backslide with a cradle. The match it self is good in that both guys counter stuff that they had been beaten with during the feud. The crowd was extremely vocal in this as both got their names cheered at the beginning of the match followed by very loud chants of "Please Don't Go". This is one of the classiest moments in wrestling I have ever seen. (REV RAY)- Dean and Eddy had lots of matches that were better than this, but from a crowd heat and respect stand point, I don't think it can be equalled. DEAN MALENKO : 2/3 Falls ECW farewell match. You can also listen to Mike Tenay of the past, the one that could and was allowed to actually call matches.ĮDDY GUERRERO vs. Also present at the match was the late Louie Spicolli. It's sad that Barr would die shortly after this as with his skills at drawing heat, you've got to wonder what whould have happened had he made it to New Japan and ECW like he was supposed to. Eddy's suplexes attempts are eventually blocked and Santo rolls up Eddy as Barr says "where am I?", and the Gringos lose their hair. Eddy busts out the New Japan Juniors offense but can only get two counts. ![]() Santo gets killed by Gringos double teams until a miscue and Barr's arch rival Blue Panther runs in and kills him with a piledriver, evening the score and leaving it down to the second generation wrestlers settling the score with each other. Barr tombstones Octagon rendering him DEAD for the rest of the match. Eddy and Art attempt the sterio topes which ends up with Eddy faceplanting on the floor. Eddy busts out his father's Gorry Special. The final falls starts out with a mix of stuff, Eddy uses Santo's finisher on him, Octagon saves, Santo goes for it and Barr saves. The psychology comes into play as Santo gets pinned, putting him out of the second fall and thus the whole legacy of the Santo family is in the hands of his partner who rallies to keep the team alive. Santo and Octagon rally hitting a great double tope. Eddy almost lawn darts Santo as he rana's him off of Art's shoulders and then they put away Octagon with a superplex followed by the measuring stick of Frog Splashes by Barr. Topped off with Art rattling the fan's cages even more by doing "the swim" and assorted other cheap heat tactics to whip the Mexican fans into a frenzy. Despite the fact that the PPV is in LA, the red, white and blue clad super dicks draw almost unparralled hate from the fans. ![]() This was the first real lucha show I had ever seen and it took this one match to make me an Eddy Guerrero fan and an Art Barr fan.
