Gilbert Cestra vs Billy Cantazarro PART 1
Gilbert Cestra vs Billy Cantazarro PART 2
How good is this match? Its at worst a top 10 match in the history of
wrestling for my money, that's how good it is. The grappling, the
counters, the timing, the pacing, everything is just wonderful and
transcendent for its time. People talk about how Dynamite Kid is a
pioneer in the 80s but these guys are pulling off sequences and
transitions that people today would be lucky to ever replicate. What
makes the match even better is that it has a clear story of parity and
one-upsmanship and feels like a grappling equivalent to Flair/Steamboat
in that both guys come off as the definition of rivals. There's plenty
of stiff strikes in amongst the wonderful chain wrestling and there are
about half a dozen counters/escapes I can't recall ever seeing before.
GREATNESS.
