RIP Brazo de Plata

 

Brazo de Plata vs. Universo 2000, CMLL 12/16/1997


What a great little match. CMLL in 1997 was rapid firing all time classics at it‘s audience, so I‘m not surprised this isn‘t talked about much, but it‘s a rare Porky title match. Brazo de Plata was doing it all here, hitting the mat doing cool exchanges and busting out cool holds. Porky really works his weight too, he is hard to get off his feet, and when he comes charging he just blows Universo 2000 away. His splashes hit like a ton of bricks. Universo is getting eaten up until he trips Brazo while he‘s working an indian deathlock. It‘s such a minimal spot but Porky really sells that minor trip like a big deal, he is a powerful fat guy and a heavy hitter, but he will also take heavy falls. Universo then just leans back and Plata is trapped likea beached whale. The 3rd fall wasn‘t as epic as the first 2 promised but we get an awesome Porky dive plus a crafty finish.
