Recap from TJ Hawke:

Neither man could get a decisive advantage in the early stages in the match.  Ligero got a couple of nearfalls. Haskins was selling his back, so Ligero hit a backbreaker.  Haskins came back with a big forearm and a high-angle back suplex.  Ligero fell to the floor, and Haskins wiped him out with a tope suicida.  Haskins got the heat after that.  Ligero was eventually able to send Haskins to the floor, and he then took him out with a tope con hello.  Ligero hit a diving crossbody for a nearfall.  Ligero then hit the Tenchi Crash: 1…2…NO! Haskins came back with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and a flatliner: 1…2…NO! Haskins hit a flapjack DDT: 1…2…NO!  Ligero hit a Fireman’s Carry Bomb: 1…2…NO!  Ligero went for a Superfly Splash, but Haskins avoided it. Haskins hit a kneeling superkick, but Ligero came right back with a Tidal Wave.  Ego Dragon, who had a “Mask vs. Mask” match with Ligero coming up, ran out and kicked Ligero in the face.  Haskins then drilled Ligero with a superkick and a Made in Japan: 1…2…3

 

Haskins asked for a rematch after the match. The crowd and Ligero agreed that one was needed.

 

This was a really solid match. Ligero is one of my favorite performers in Europe, and I really hope he gets an American indies tour, sooner rather than later.  Haskins tries really hard to be a good heel, but I just don’t connect to him that way.  I really want to see what he’s like as a babyface.

Match Rating: ***1/4

About TJ Hawke

TJ was a fan of wrestling as a kid (starting around 1999), and his first concrete wrestling memory is some kid bringing Hulk Hogan his old yellow and red gear backstage during an episode of Nitro. Hogan needed the gear to defeat Kevin Nash in a title vs. career match at the next WCW PPV. Nash lost the match and his career, which sadly resulted in the world losing out on seeing Kevin Nash matches for the last 13 years. Like almost all young kids, TJ’s interest in wrestling fluctuated over the years until an episode of Raw on July 3, 2006. TJ was curious and excited to see his beloved RVD show up with the WWE Title belt and what he thought was the revitalized European title. TJ decided he must turn to the the internet to figure out what was going on. Almost 6 years later, TJ is still searching the internet every day to find out what is going on in wrestling. Now though, he writes for the pop culture site (411mania.com), has his own blog (The Best of Chikara), and is the creator of the very site you are reading now.
