Sangre Chicana vs Perro Aguayo vs Villano III vs El Faraon (Elimination Match - EMLL - 10/84)
Absolutely spectacular lucha brawl with 3 of the best ever and El Faraon who is no slouch in his own right. This had some criticisms for being confusing, but I didn't really get that. This was just a spectacular brawl that was like a precursor to the amazing Chicana vs Perro match from 2/86. Anyone who liked that match will like this. Contender for my list but something I'll need to rewatch to be sure.

Second
This one is so much fun, just a crazy all over the place brawl. It feels like a bar fight in places that combines all the stuff I love about lucha brawls with some extra layers of chaos. I would love to see this discussed with other multi-person matches, especially 4-ways, like the summerslam 2017 match.

I promise you this match really happened, it’s difficult to believe, it’s as great as I thought it would be, everyone’s performance was stellar, no one underperformed, this match in particular can’t be explained with just a play-by-play, it can’t be explained because this is actually one of the craziest matches in lucha history, lucha isn’t short of crazy matches but this one in particular deserves a deep dive, it didn’t need a guy in a chicken suit (I don’t have anything against Pollo vs Commando Negro but it was the most notable example of a lucha car crash if you want to watch it it’s available in Powerbomb tv) to be an awesome car crash of a contest, they chose the perfect wrestlers to pull this off smoothly, I already talked about Sangre Chicana when I reviewed the famous apuesta against MS-1, it’s one of my favourite matches of all time and Sangre Chicana had a perfect babyface performance that’s impossible to replicate, for me, it’s the greatest match in lucha history (even better than Atlantis vs Villano III 3/17/00), Chicana’s peak is one of the greatest peaks in wrestling history, the only peak that I think is better than his is Akira Hokuto’s my favourite joshi wrestler, so yeah he was really damn good around this time, Perro Aguayo is a very interesting wrestler because we only have footage of his career from 1982 to 2001 when he retired, it’s something that I touched briefly when I talked about Satánico’s career but it’s an issue we have with almost every mexican wrestler from that era, during the match the announcers talked about his work in Japan, you’ll probably be familiar with his match against Gran Hamada in UWF, a match that I found fascinating.
The match can be recapped with very few words, it’s a chaotic lucha brawl with twice as many people and of course twice as chaotic if that’s your thing give it a try.
