El Hijo del Santo vs. LA Park
Monterrey
12/23/2001
Year: 2001
Type: n/a
Other Recommended; Bloody
Synopsis:
The bloodbath to end all bloodbaths. Santo and Park wrestle a violent, heated match where Santo loses an incredible amount of blood. This match is likely not for everyone. The blood loss is extreme and the rudo/tecnico structure is really blurred to the point of almost being non-existent. However, this is not a match where the wrestlers used blood as an excuse not to have an actual match. There is a lot of great wrestling underneath everything else and of course loads of drama.

El Hijo Del Santo vs La Parka, 12/23/01 – The classic Monterrey bloodbath. I’m not really sold on it being a great match, but I need to remind myself that I liked it & it’s slim pickings for this decade. Maybe I’m just difficult to please. Santo was quite happy to play the dickish rudo, while Parka was hardly a saint, I just think the best lucha brawls have a bigger arc than this, possibly because they’re wager matches or simply because they turn into more of a fight.
