Taso the Greek’s “Bumpin’ Heads 2008″

(Taped 02/18/06)

Alan, Billy Boy, Decnnis vs. Nygma, Picudo, Silver Cat
Billy Boy hit one awesome suicida through the ropes. I watched Decniss closely while he was in there, and he’s not bad either, but rough around the edges. So the heels who look like KISS clones beat the crap out of everyone, then the babyfaces come back. I didn’t care for it that much, until after the very LAME finish, Fabe Apache and Tiffany run out and they brawl. *1/2
Electro Shock, Octagón, Zorro b Charly Manson, Chessman, Espíritu
There is dissension between Zorro and Electro Shock! Someone call Grappz Nooz! Zorro mistakenly threw a cake in his face? They went from a commercial break to the cake throwing part and the brawl and lweft out all the wrestling in the middle for high lights AFTER it was all over. Strange. N/A
Miss Janeth, Cynthia Moreno, Martha Villalobos, La Diabolica vs. Lola Gonzalez, Josselin, Estrellita, Lady Rabbit, Tiffany, La Chola, La Hechicera [Reina de Reinas, ciber, final four advance]
Pretty crappy! I find Lady rabbit as a faux Playboy Playmate kinda funny. Some of the older women kinda freak me out a bit, sorry. But I have no problem with Martha Vlillalobos squashing people off the top rope. I also don’t get some of the super fast counts the ref was dishing out.
Alan Stone vs. Intocable [street]
The wrestling in this match was bad. Intocable really is not a good wrestler, but that’s already pretty common knowledge. However, the ’street” part of this match, the brawl around the arena, was good becaue the plaxce is sold out it seems, and the women are going crazy, screaming and trying to grab them some hot wrestler buns. Shocker interferes in a wily way which makes the match better on the entertainment meter. The one on one matches are what I would prefer to watch then the clusterfucks. **1/4
Miss Janeth vs. Cynthia Moreno vs. Martha Villalobos vs. La Diabolica
My love affair with Martha ends after only two weeks and three matches. Yes, she’s great for that top rope fatty splash but otherwise she’s pretty terrible. Miss Janeth busted out all types of nice suplexes, and she eliminated Cynthia which was a shock to me, as I was hoping to see her work this match longer. Then La Diabolica, who was looking shitty in there at first, granted it was against Martha, starts busting out underhook piledrivers and lifting belly to back double chickenwing front slams. But Miss Janeth puts her away in the end. I am just wondering if Miss Janeth is hiding a trouser snake or she’s just an old broad that gives off that drag queen vibe.
Abismo Negro, La Parka Jr. vs Cibernetico, Konnan, Shocker
This ended pretty quick when the rudos couldn’t get along. The lockeroom emptied, and like JBL says, that Latin machismo got in the way. Meanwhile, the match sucke dballs and I dunno what’s going on half the time with moves being no-sold everywhere and guys looking like they are completely lost. -1/2*

Mini Chessman/Jerrito Estrada/Mini Abismo Negro vs. Prince/Octagoncito/Mascarita Sagrada
Is it OK to really like this match while at the same time feel a little dirty about the whole idea? Nonetheless, Octagoncito and Mascarita Sagrada are two of the best wrestlers I’ve seen. Prince is hilarious, if you are into 4′ spanish dudes who look like a cross between Prince Iakuea and The Arist. I don’t like Mini Chessman at all. He looks like a bad Santas elf. Jerrito looks like a slimey bartender I once knew who worked for the Argentinian mafia. The finish spinning satellite into a submission was awesome. I watched it three times. *3/4
Cuervo/Scoria/Ozz vs. Decnnis/El Costeño/Super Fly
Decnnis looks like a member of 3 Count. The three members of La Secta are all very capable. Decnnis is one of those good looking babyfaces that get the women to go to wrestling. El Costeno looks like a dude you’d see hanging out at the local deli or bodega drinking beers in his soccer t-shirt and hawaiin shorts. People count chops in Kobashi matches, they should count arm drags in any lucha match. There are tons of dives. You shake your head is disbelief these guys aren’t dead at least once in each match. *1/2
Zumbido vs. El Hijo del Fantasma
Finally, a one on one match. Zumbido misses a springboard and screws up big around the halfway point, which shits it all up. They cut to commercial and that makes it mworse. Up until that point I was digging it, although Fantasma hits a couple of slams a bit lazyish. I prefer Joshi to Lucha at this point. They remind me of the other but Joshi’s better. I’d go far as to say the women wrestlers are better. Zumbido hits a nice moonsault, Fantasma with a good handspring bacl elbow. Blown spot… suicida, rest period… then outside interference. Shocker and Alan Stone attack and I get confused a little and Fantasma gets counted out. Also, is the “ZZZZ… ZZZ… ZZZ….ZUMBIDO!” thing annoying or cool? I haven’t made up my mind. *1/2
Televisa Deportes/Electroshock/Pimpinela Escarlata vs. Chessman/Charly Manson/Cassandro
OOOH! What happened??/ I messed up and stopped recording! I was looking forward to Pimpinella vs. this other exotico. DAMN!
Shocker/Zumbido/Alan Stone vs. Intocable/La Parka/El Zorro
Vampiro vs. Cibernetico

Drako & Aliens vs. Pimpinella Escarlata & Super Fly
Any chance to see Pimpinella Escarlata is a treat, one of my favorite wrestlers on the planet. Dude looks old and yet he hit a sweet hilo con tope on Alien’s. His act is so funny. Wish I could see him wrestle or feud with someone in the US. Alien’s is the greatest gimmick/costume I have ever seen. It’s definitely worth seeing. I want to find a picture of it somewhere. *3/4
Chiva Rayada I, Chiva Rayada II, Ultraman Jr. b Angel Mortan, Gallego, Mr. Cóndor
Chiva Rayada I, Chiva Rayada II are two guys in billy goat masks, mascots of a Mexican futbol team, Los Chivos. Good mat skills and high flying, lotsa headstands on the turnbuckle type guys. Flying headscissors from everywhere. The rudos were given alot of offense and they kicked alot of ass. They were rude, they were crude, and they looked like midget Barbarian impersonator’s with the face paint. They even unmasked Ultraman Jr! Impressive match becaue the guys look so out of shape and they are doing a shitload of offense. It’s lucha, and I like it. **1/4
Cats (P), JJ de la Borbolla Jr., Super Calo vs. Alan Stone, Scorpio Jr., Zumbido
I’m digging Zumbido. JJ is the worst wrestler of the year, hands down. Cats looks like Garfield. I haven’t seen Super Calo since WCW Saturdays. Cats did a moonsault type dive, maybe was 15′ off the ground to the floor, amazing. **
Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz vs. Electro Shock, Intocable, Zorro
All I got from this match was that Intocable is very over with the ladies. I thought he was pretty good in there against everyone. Electro Shock and Zorro acted like they were having problems. I pretty much didn’t know what was going on here, but the wrestling was fun. *1/2
Charly Manson, Chessman, Cibernetico, Fuerza Guerrera b Abismo Negro, El Magnate, La Parka Jr., Octagón
This match was pretty chaotic. Alot of things were going on at once. Abismo Negro is injured and limping out. He doesn’t do anything at all in the matahc, I don’t believe. El Magnate sucked. Octagon does a bunch of lucha arm drags. Then Cibernetico comes in against La Parka, takes out his knee, and makes him tap to a single leg boston crab in a matter of seconds. It was a strong finish and came outta nowhere. I liked that. The rest of it was a blur. *3/4
————————-

Billy Boy/May/Martha/Mascarita vs. Gran Apache/Polvo/Tiffany/Mini Abismo Tiffany hitting Angel’s Wings on Mascarita was disturbing. This was a total squash. It gets five thousand stars for being something new and unusual on my TV, and for Tiffany’s attire. Otherwise the only redeeming value for me was the Tiffany sit down powerbomb on Mascarita and then attacking him even after the matrch was over. And Martha Villawhatever is also quite unsettling as well. More so then Peggy Lee and Monter Ripper combined. In that weird old lady, smelly pantyhose way. WAIT! That was just the first fall!? Men beating women? Women beating on men? Both genders asaulting dwarfs? **3/4
Zumbido vs. Histeria [MEX MIDDLE]
I haven’t watched any lucha this year, and maybe a handful in my life. I find I am not equipt with the experience to comment on these matches, mainly because that first match was like a ***** star affair to me. But then I realize it is lucha and it needs a different perspective. So watch and don’t talk is my new focus with the Sat. and Sun. Galavision lucha. As far as Zumbido vs. Histeria, it was good. **1/2
Electroshock/Intocable/Zorro vs. Charly Manson/Chessman/Espiritu
I dunno what was going on here. Zorro had it in bad for Charly Manson, probably for that really bad impersonation he does. But Electroshock didn’t like watcing Zorro abuse the shit out of manson. And we also got to watch Intocable do some cool moves on Espurito who also has a mini that looks like Chucky. Wow. *1/2
Octagon/La Parka Jr./AAA vs El Brazo/Espectro Jr./Pirata Morgan
In this match I learned that stinkfaces with ass mcheeks showing are blocked out on Galavision, edited, with shots of the fans while in the ring someone is getting a faceful of El Brazo’s buttocks. Thank you. Total comedy match with the prerequisite injections of brilliance and wrestling. La Parka is ALMOST as funny as the original. But this match was a total goof fest so I dunno. There was also alot of dancing from fat wrestlers and Parka. **
Bull Terrier Match: Vampiro vs. Shocker vs. Cibernetico
This was a total brawl without the good brawling. I didn’t like it at all, they did nothing exciting. Vampiro played face and got his ass beat to a pulp by a bunch of run-ins in the end. Garbage. 1/2*
