Black Terry / Doctor Cerebro vs. El Hijo del Diablo / Gringo Loco - IWRG 01.24.2010
As the image reveals this isn't your usual IWRG match of competitive mat-work, fast-paced exchanges and aerial assaults. This is a simple, bloody brawl featuring a back-and-forth war between the two teams. Diablo and Gringo Loco gain the upperhand early, outsmarting Terry and Cerebro whom storm the aisle before the bell only to be ambushed from behind. Blood flows quickly with the rudos dominating for five minutes until momentum shifts. The carnage is all strikes and weapons to begin with, which is great as it allows the heat to sink in, before the bombs and dives cap it all off.
As the brawl splits apart whilst it's taped by the one person you're bound to miss parts. As such, it would've been nice if Black Terry Jr. had followed Doctor Cerebro around a bit more. That's my only criticism though, easily forgotten when you see how good what you do see is. Like Diablo shoving Terry's mangled face into front row spectators. And a wonderful close-up of Terry (again) having a cactus leaf grinded into his forehead. Sure, that sounds ludicrous. But within the context of this match it comes across as nasty. A very, very fun brawl.
