Hostile City Showdown 1995: Eddie Guerrero © vs. Dean Malenko:
I've been looking for a high quality copy of this, and I finally found one. Malenko
was the straightforward, no-nonsense “shooter” that utilized a faux MMA style
before it even became popular. Guerrero was the athletic high-flyer and the son of legendary
Gory Guerrero. They were truly polar opposites. But they had one thing in common:
they were superb in the ring. This match had a mixture of everything – chain
wrestling, aerial attacks, creative submissions, imaginative spots, devastating
looking moves, and cerebral psychology. The story was about both of them hitting each
other with everything they had, but not being able to put the other away due
to his never-say-die resiliency. This also does a spectacular job of building to
high-spots, transitioning to each layer of the match, and creating different
story-arcs. The 2/3 falls contest is the more talked about one, but this is the best one of the series.
