Right Place, Right Time - SoCal Indie Wrestling
About those T Shirts Mr. Profesional wore in 'Los Campeones de La Lucha Libre'…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Relocating to Los Angeles in 2003 for season 2 of Mucha Lucha! had a lot of pluses, one being that we were closer to Mexico and actual lucha libre! And we took advantage of that, seeing some great matches in Tijuana and Mexico City. Plus the big Mexican stars would also wrestle in LA for local promotions such as FMLL.
But there was also an amazing home-grown indie wrestling scene in Southern California that took elements of lucha libre and blended them into something equally exciting. Raw and no frills, you couldn't help getting caught up in the excitement.
Tumblr media
Revolution Pro was the first of these indie companies that we experienced. The matches were usually WAY east at a swap meet in the City Of Industry. We'd trundle out there every other Saturday and see some great events.
Tumblr media
This Mask Vs Mask match was off the charts.  We actually dragged our director, Ken Kessel (and his family!) out there for it.  If you were only ever going to see one match live in your life, this was it!  Super Dragon (remember that name) ended up winning and unmasking his former partner, Taro.  I remember Ken taking lots of pictures with his decidedly pro-fesh-un-al camera, but unfortunately never got to see any :(
Rev Pro used to alternate with AWS at the same venue, who used a lot of the same wrestlers, but AWS would also fly luchadores in from Mexico sometimes.  Pretty soon, Rev Pro phased out and AWS ran most of the shows there.
But some of the mainstays from Rev Pro were soon to debut a new promotion, Pro Wrestling Guerilla, or PWG.  And PWG was just awesome.
Tumblr media
Holding events at the Jewish Community Centre in Los Feliz may sound a bit hokey on paper, but this little venue was perfect.  It was, hot, sweaty and always packed. Plus it was a five minute walk from where we lived!  We were fortunate to see some amazing talent before they became huge stars.  Kevin Steen and El Generico - who were to become WWE Superstars Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn respectively, AJ Styles later of WWE, The Human Tornado, Samoa Joe...and to us the most interesting of all, Super Dragon, who worked a fast, stiff, brutal style with high risk lucha-stye moves thrown in. This clip captures some of the mayhem from the match on the flyer above...
PWG became hugely successful.  So big that it left its little venue in Los Feliz and went onto bigger things.  This was a jumping off point for me personally: Mucha Lucha! had finished, and with the intensity that came with it gone, I needed a break.  I still went to lucha libre events, but there was a shift in SoCal indie wrestling as the wrestlers and promotions either folded, or moved on to bigger things.
But for a time Revolution Pro, AWS and PWG put on one great show after another, and I feel very fortunate I got to be there first hand. Our little tribute was Mr. Profesional's shirts, which also had the purpose of identifying the character's backstory with that indie scene.
Postscript: As talented as anyone in lucha libre/prowrestling, no one knows what happened to Super Dragon,  More about this enigma can be found here:

With the legend around Super Dragon, I dunno how it took me so long to ever draw him. But I got there eventually!

Wrestlemania Main Event Reviews - Wrestlemania XXXIX (Saturday)
Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn def. The Usos (Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso) (c) for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships in 24:17
Oh my god what a promo package. As a longtime Zayn & Owens fan now, this hit different. Simply electric. Now, Lil Uzi Vert is out first with his hair styled like Batman’s head in a rather impressive look, and he's singing a song. He does this to welcome the champions, The Usos. Now here comes KO, main eventing Night One for a second consecutive time. I never noticed his homages to PWG and Super Dragon on his trunks! Now here's Sami Zayn! The crowd sing along to Worlds Apart as the challengers walk their way to the ring. Cole makes a great point, while The Usos are part of a famous wrestling family, here in their showy white gear, Zayn & Owens are down to Earth, blue collar, and they walk to the ring in plain black zip-up hoodies. The titles are raised and we’re ready to go. 
Olé chants start things off as they take things in. Jey offers the tag and starts it off against Zayn. Lock up and Uso gains control. Lock up again and this time Zayn wins out from the rope rebound. Jimmy makes a secret tag and pulls the ropes to drop Zayn to the outside. A clothesline by Jimmy, a throw into the ringpost, then Jimmy tags Jey who hits a dive. Suplex and he takes it back in the ring. Attack in the ropes and Jimmy kicks Zayn as the referee is distracted. Tag again and Jimmy stomps Zayn. He strikes Owens and draws his ire. Tag again and a double team. Jey can't put Zayn away yet though, even if he's desperate for a tag. Zayn is able to fight back and drop both Usos to the outside and get the tag! From the top rope, cannonball! He takes both men out and hits Bullfrog Splashes on each Uso, Jimmy on the outside and Jey inside. No 3 though, and Jey is able to regain control with a neckbreaker. Owens put up top and Jimmy makes a tag but Owens fights back. Knees up by Jey from a Swanton though, then Himmy immediately follows with an Uso Splash for 2. Owens sodges the hip attack, two superkicks, then a Cannonball in the corner to Jimmy. He goes up top but Jey fights him. However, Zayn fights him off and hits a brainbuster on the apron! Swanton from Owens but no 3. Zayn is in and huts an Uso Splash but it's 2 again. Ole chants even louder now as Cole mentions El Generico on WWE TV! Graves says he’s glad that guy retired.
Jimmy fights back against a Blue Thunder Bomb and hits a superkick on Owens. Zayn is finally able to hit it but only after Jimmy tags Jey who immediately breaks the pin with a superkick. Some sort of flying superkick from Jey but Zayn kicks out. Superkick again from Jey and he tags Jimmy. They each hit one then a double superkick but Owens breaks up the pin. He gets his own superkick as the Usos tag again. They hound Sami and hit a double superkick to the back of the head of Zayn! He still won't stay down though. Tag again and double superkick again but Zayn kicks out. Tag again as they raise the ones and go for a 1D, but Owens pulls Jimmy from the ring. Jey kicks out of the roll up as Owens bounces Jimmy off of the announce table, He looks for a move through it but Jey runs in and helps his brother, as they drive him through an announce table. 1D on Zayn back in the ring, but kick out! Great reaction and the commentary sells it well. Jey begs Zayn to quit and beats him down in the corner. Zayn tries desperately to stand and Jey hits a Helluva Kick. Zayn falls into Jey as he mouths off again, but Exploder Suplex into the corner! Zayn tags Owens who hits pop-up powerbombs on both men. Owens screams “NOW” as Zayn hits a Helluva Kick on Jimmy, Owens hits a Stunner on Jey, but he kicks out at 2. Each team pull each other up on the mat and stare down as the crowd cheers. They start teeing off on each other. Superkick from Jimmy to Zayn, then one from Owens to Jimmy, then one to Jey. Pop-up powerbomb attempt but Jey vaults over after a secret tag by Jimmy. Superkicks each then a double superkick to Owens, and Zayn gets one on the apron too. Dragged over, tag, and Double Uso Splash. But Owens kicks out at two! Jey lifts up Owens in the corner, tags Jimmy, and double superkick in the corner. Tag again, and they put Owens up top. Jey has him superplex position but Zayn pulls out Jimmy and launches him over the announce table as Owens brings down Jey. Zayn runs to the corner and begs for the tag as the crowd goes wild. Jey is in the corner and Zayn hits the Helluva Kick! Jey falls into him, and after a moment he props him back up and hits another! But here comes Jimmy… but Owens is there with a Stunner. Zayn props Jey up once more, the crowd knows what's going to happen, and he hits one more Helluva Kick! 1, 2, 3! New champs as they quietly sit down and take it in. They embrace and get their titles, raising them as the fireworks go off. What a moment.
Pros: Emphatic victory, hot crowd, emotional moments, exciting action Cons: I can probably only wish I was more awake when I first saw it!
This is a pretty great match. Four awesome wrestlers, even if The Usos rely heavily on their superkicks throughout. Owens & Zayn getting this platform is absolutely awesome after all their years on the indies and work trying to get to this spot once in the WWE. It’s really less about the in-ring here and more about the moment, the energy, and the story. That's no knock on this match though, because it was all so good. A great pair of co-mains on this night for completely different reasons. But what a moment and the end of an always engaging match! 
4.5 STARS OUT OF 5
