LA Park vs Dr. Wagner Jr. (TXT - 5/11/2013)
My god... this one is absolutely brutal. I think there is a fair criticism that the violence didn't really build through the match because they start off at like 200 MPH, but still, this is a really fun brawl that is just filled to the brim with hatred and malice. I am not sure how it is going to shake out, but as of right now I am pretty committed to get at least one Park match on my list. This may not be the strongest contender, but it is a contender non the less.

Seconded. To me this is the best ECW match ever. Something I'll need to rewatch. I love it, but I actually forgot all about it while doing these nominations. Based on memory, this feels like as good a contender as anything from post 2005.

One of my absolute favourite matches of all-time. The image of LA Park putting Wagner's shirt on fire on a chair and giving Wagner the finger during his entrance is just the start of this classic. About as brutal a match can be, it even includes a beer bottle to the head. Bloody great brawl and a lock for my list.

What is going on with this finish? I assume that the referee ends up awarding the match to LA Park after Wagner splashes him to cause a DQ. Other than that, this was brutality, blood, and brawling at its finest. Fantastic stuff here.
****3/4

An absolutely wonderful match. Before the match even starts we get LA Park in the ring with Wagner's shirt on fire on a chair, from there it's near perfection. Blood, nutty brawling and insane violence. The only thing keeping this from being perfect in my eyes is the finish to the third fall considering the incredible finishes for the first 2 falls.

Another awesome LA Park brawl. He sure knows how to make every one of them feel unique while sharing the same formula. The amazing visual with the shirt and the chair on fire at the beginning is dope as fucking fuck.
This one had a very disgusting and Invelieve unintentional blade job (from the beer bottle spot), that had Park and the doctor worried about it enough times to give him bandages more than once. Honestly, feeling the real danger and medical negiglence makes this cross the wrestling line between enjoyment and disgust, so I think it takes away from it, sadly.
Either way, LA Park keeps going and both him a DWJ fight to death. The first fall, which is basically a long Park squash, is my favourite. The match IS so good that even the ref bumps weren't as dumb, and overall the overbooking was kept to a minimum. Black Terry counting to three despite having the intention to give the final fall to LA Park anyway is the most hilarious rudo referee stuff I've ever seen.
Great match, for sure. Too uncomfortable to watch at times, and the botched bladejob makes la tercera caída a bit of a mess, but other than that this is everything you could ask for in a lucha brawl.
****.
