10 Matches We Must See In Lucha Underground Season 2
10. Rey Mysterio Vs. Jack Evans
I'll start off with a true lucha lubre dream match. From his days as the scrawniest man on the card to his more rounded out current form, Evans has been reinventing the wheel when it comes to aerial moves for the best part of a decade now. He also manages to be the most pure of heels, an impressive ability when you consider just how much crowds want to cheer him. When Rey Mysterio first graced mainstream professional wrestling in the mid 1990s he was the cream of the high-flying crop, the stand out. Time has passed since then however, and it has also caught up with Mysterio himself in the shape of numerous injuries and a slowing down of his style. As with all forms of innovation the style has evolved, with the high risk manoeuvres game constantly being upped and upped by performers like Jack Evans. Could Rey Mysterio keep up at this late stage of his career? A battle with Jack Evans would prove that point once and for all.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
