Crush Gals vs Lola Gonzalez & Rosa Maria (Mexico City - 5/25/1985)
This took place in Mexico City, but I'm not sure which promotion it was under. This was a 2/3 Falls match and was paced & structured like a typical lucha match. Babyface Crush Gals dominate the first fall with quick spots. Quick 2nd fall with the ruods making the comeback. Long third fall where they really turn up the energy. Both Crush Gals ended up blading in the 3rd fall as they brawl around the ring. Lots of trading submissions at the end and only a couple of big bombs from the Crush Gals. Cool how lucha-y this felt. Great match.

If you had a déjà vu when you read the title you’re right I reviewed this match before when I watched the Crush Gals, all the things I said in there aged pretty well, I talked about the fast-paced brawling, the brutality and how strange it feels to see the Crush Gals outside Japan, it isn’t that they didn’t adapted to their style they did, in fact, it’s similar to the style they worked with in Japan, the strange thing about watching them in México is not having a crowd completely behind them like they usually have turns out there weren’t many Crush Gals fans in México at the time, I’m curious about how the mexican announcers hyped them up before the match, they usually talk about Japan in such a way that feels like they are talking about Timbuktu, a mythic place that supposedly exists, some people live there, our people has visited it and told amazing barely believable stories about the time they were there, the hyperbole of the mexican announcers is unmatched, what I said is just a slight exaggeration, when Perro Aguayo went back to México after a brief but great stint in Japan that included his famous match against Gran Hamada the announcers said that ‘‘he conquered Japan’’. Today we have the opposite japanese wrestlers working in México, the Crush Gals were actually the babyfaces, you would expect the foreigners to be hated heels but it was the other way around, I’m not sure but I think this match took place in UWA, EMLL didn’t allow women’s wrestling yet as far as I’m concerned.
The first fall was dominated by the Crush Gals, Rosa María and Lola González tried their dirty tactics but they didn’t work as much as they had hoped, in the second fall Rosa and Lola actually took the fall doing the same things they did in the first but harder and the third fall was all Crush Gals, they dominated and won this rough brawl.
