   I loved Mil Mascaras when i was growing up, but only got to see him in the magazines, watched Harley when he was Central States Champ

   A Flair fan-that says it all. Flair was so overrated he made Trish Stratus look underrated.

   @maxearl Bruno couldn’t lace Race’s boots! But he was fun to watch for ten minutes or so.

   Mascaras screws up Race’s leap-frog @ around 4:00. Great match though, between two real legends of the squared circle. I read somewhere that Mascaras didn’t like to lose & was hard to work with.

   I find that curious; what is your soure? Bruno was known as a trainging fanatic who unlike Ric Flair did and many others did not abuse his body. I also think Race and Sammartino wrestled 2x in their careers.

   Bruno had many hour matches with other wrestlers including the awesome Killer Kawalski and i think Ivan Koloff as well.

    yeah, I understand. but look at the other wrestler superstar billy graham, chris jericho and mick foley. superstar and foley were great entertainers and not great wrestler. chris jericho to me will always be a b+ wrestler. you have to understand mil mascaras was a international superstar. if he had a ego, you have to add alot of other wrestlers to that list.

    It takes more than a facial expression to effectively sell.

    You can’t just pop back up when you take a particularly powerful move. If your opponent has been working a body part continuously, then you favor it throughout the match. Overall, you just do your best to make the other guy look good if that’s what the promoter wants.

    According to many wrestlers from Mil’s day, he wasn’t especially willing to do any of that.

    some wrestler complained that mascaras didnt sell, but how can you sell if you have a mask that cant show the expression of your face. graham and foley complained about him, but coming from two wrestler that cant wrestle. I can understand.

    And Mil Mascaras was the first masked wrestler to wrestle in Madison Square Garden, he defeated the Spoiler who was not allowed to use his mask.

    Ironic that 28 years later the first Mexican Luchador finally wins the NWA world belt. But hardly anyone knows about it. Go Blue Demon jr!!

    Did Mil Mascaras sell for his opponents i thought i heard somewhere that he would not sell for certain wrestlers! This was a classic 2 alltime greats!

    Bruno Sammartino is my favorite male wrestler of all; I would like to see the matches he had with Harley Race–they must be buried somewhere in Don Vinnie’s dungeon in Connecticut. I also liked Race and Mil although I understand Mascaras gets mixed reviews from other wrestlers of his era; I find it difficult to agree with Hansen that Mascaras was so so as a wrestler.

    In Japan it does tend to be much more wrestling oriented. You won’t see a storyline like who ran over KENTA? Or who is Stan Hansen’s bastard son? If they do tell a story it’s got a pretty simple yet effective base like which of these two guys is the toughest and who is the man, and the only real way you can tell that kind of story is through matches. I’m not saying all of Japanese wrestling is like that, there are some ’sports entertainment’ promotions out there, but puroresu is pure wrestling.
