MORE SPLITTIN'

El Dandy/Dr. Wagner Jr/Silver King/Bestia Salvaje v Super Parka/Antifaz/El Felino/Mr. Niebla (Arena Coliseo Monterrey 23/7/00)
--Kinda odd since I'm sure when it exactly started, or what the rules were, but I'll be damned if it wasn't a fun match with great moments. My favourite might be Parka throwing a referee into a tope to harm Salvaje (IIRC) and then pulling him in the ring and raising him arms. Bit out there, but funny regardless. Other great moment is Parka setting Wagner in the corner and doing a dance with his back turned only for Wagner to be mocking him with his own jingle behind him and greeting him with a knife edge near the neck. El Felino had a great little sequence in there too.

El Dandy/Silver King/Arandu v La Parka/Silver Star/El Hijo del Santo (Arena Coliseo Monterrey 22/8/00)
--Really annoyed this was JIP'ed, because what was there seemed to be good enough to do well on my list.* Some of the chop exchanges with interferences and stuff reminded me of an All Japan tag. They looked to build all of that into a good pinfall frenzy near the end, especially in the third fall. Each guy brought something different too. La Parka was the guy who would dominate the opposing team and dance around, Santito would pull out the moves no one else could do, and El Dandy took a mean kick in the arse from Antifaz post match. Likely sets up their match next month. Not even sure it WAS Antifaz, but I'll throw a dart out a window.

*= Referring to my top 100 matches of the 2000-2009 list, which I gave up after one week. Laughing smiley.
