EL DANDY VS. LA FIERA
CMLL
11/27/1992
HAIR VS. HAIR

Year: 1992
Type:  Hair vs. Hair
Other: n/a

Synopsis:

A tantalizing match on paper that might not quite live up to expectations, but is still worth your time. El Dandy and La Fiera could work a worthwhile hair match in their sleep and they do better than that here. Just don’t go in expecting an amalgamation of both men’s best hair matches and you are sure to not be disappointed.

Brazo de Plata vs. Gran Markus Jr.
CMLL
05/29/1998
HAIR VS. HAIR

Year: 1998
Type:  Hair vs. Hair
Other: n/a

Synopsis:

A short hair match that succeeds based on some great babyface work from Brazo de Plata. He  pairs his innate ability for drawing sympathy with a pair of awesome high flying high spots as he fights to keep his hair. Like with most Porky matches, the heat is pretty good The crowd is firmly on his side and the crowd reacts to the finish in a manner befitting of a far more important apuesta match.

(12/10/2005) Sangre Chicana vs. Shocker (AAA)

Sangre Chicana vs. Shocker
AAA
12/10/2005
HAIR VS. HAIR

Year: 2005
Type:  Hair vs. Hair
Other: Bloody

Synopsis:

A match from Shocker’s one year 2005-2006 run in AAA. This match happened at the latest possible time it could and still hold the possibility of being good as Shocker was on his way out of his early 2000’s spell as a good worker and Chicana was about to turn 55 years old. The match is fun – maybe even good – although in typical AAA fashion there are some overbooking issues. The first two falls avoid that pitfall for the most part but the finish to the third fall is not so lucky. This isn’t a great match, but a fun effort by a pair of luchadores from two entirely different generations.

(08/29/1997) La Fiera vs. Bestia Salvaje (CMLL)

LA FIERA VS. Bestia Salvaje
CMLL
08/29/1997
HAIR VS. HAIR

Year: 1997
Type:  Hair vs. Hair
Other: n/a

Synopsis:

This battle of the beasts is somewhat of a forgotten match. Given the circumstances – the participants, the year, the spot on the card (second from the top), and the fact that the match was several weeks before the Santo/Casas headlined anniversary show – it is easy to see how this match could be forgotten over time. The match itself is not nearly as nondescript and it is actually quite good. The two veterans know just the right buttons to press. The match is well structured, using the first two falls to build to an intense and hard fought finale. While not a classic by any means, La Fiera and Bestia Salvaje had a quality hair match that is on par or better than some more prolific hair bouts.

La Fiera vs. Babe Face
CMLL
08/15/1986
HAIR VS. HAIR

Year: 1986
Type:  Hair vs. Hair
Other: Bloody

Synopsis:

The 5th place finisher on the DVDR 80’s Lucha set poll. La Fiera wrestled this match as if he had a death wish, taking some crazy bumps off the ring apron to the wood floors.  All of the hair match staples are found in this match from brawling and blood to biting and bumps. They are complemented by Fiera’s always unique and entertaining kick-based offense. At the very least, this is a strong hair match that checks all of the boxes and at best – as evidenced by the DVDVR poll – it is one of the best available matches from Mexico in the 1980’s.
