Who’s Who?

Los Hermanos Dinamita



Brothers who started teaming with each other in the 1980′s. The name translating to the dynamite brothers who were known for their iconic white/block simplistic design of their masks and gear. They all had masks, but Ano/Cien Caras both lost their masks in major matches in Mexico. Cien Caras dropping his in 1990 to Rayo de Jalisco Jr. which helped elevate him to the main event star he would be in the 90′s while that happened at EMLL 57th Anniversary, Mascara Ano 2000 would lose his to Perro Aguayo at the 1st ever Triplemania in 1993. Universo 2000 would keep his until the 2000′s and would team with his brothers for a decade+ as the only brother with a mask.

As a team they only had 2 belts together, despite being a major staple for lucha libre for at least 20 years. Ano and Cien Caras were Mexican National Tag Champs in 1986 and at this time Los Hermanos Dinamita were in their only reign as Mexican National Trios Champs which lasted 999 days. They much like Octagon who won the Middleweight National title and took it to AAA, Hermanos did the same thing. Taking the Trios titles to AAA, where they were until they returned to CMLL in 2001. This match wasn’t for the titles, but it should be noted as their opponents were famously the 1st trio to ever hold this belt. Another fun note the nephews/sons of this trio are currently the champions hold this belt.

This would have been a few months after Ano was unmasked at the 1st Triplemania in April of this year. Cien Caras was the oldest brother and the one who is the de facto leader of the group. He was the most established star at the time being the most decorated through the 80′s and even holding some gold in the late 1970′s. All three men were very popular rudo group. Sadly the youngest of the brothers Universo 2000 passed away on the 1st of this month. Mascara Ano 2000 still semi-regularly wrestles in CMLL while Cien Caras for the most part is retired, but will still do a match or two a year.

Los Infernales

Considered one of the best trios of all time. Satanico leads MS-1 and Pirata Morgan once again. The original trio ran from 1984-1986 with the group getting back together here. Though, the group never stopped existing, this is the original lineup and not the one they used from 1986-1991 where Masakre was in instead of Pirata Morgan. Masakre isn’t bad, but he just wasn’t Pirata Morgan who has quite a unique look/gimmick. A mentioned this trio was the 1st ever to hold the Mexican National Trios Championships and also held the CMLL World Trios Champions twice before this match in the early 1990′s after getting Pirate Morgan back in the trio.

Overall Los Infernales were more decorated than Los Hermanos Dinamita at this time and overall. Though it’s hard to compare anyone to Satanico who might be one of the most decorated guys in Lucha Libre. Being a major player for the NWA Middleweight title in the early 1980′s. Satanico these days is a trainer for CMLL and recently came out of retirement to do a match for the Anniversary of Coliseo. While in the last decade Pirata Morgan has mostly worked in indie wrestling company IWRG, where his son works as well. MS-1 is the one deceased member of Los Infernales passing away in 2012 after a car accident. He was the same age Universo was when he passed away this year, 55.

While Los Hermano Dinamitas all had betting match win streaks before finally losing their various masks. Satanico and MS-1 lost their masks in separate matches where both were in their first betting match on record. Pirata Morgan never had a mask and has lost and won many betting matches as all 3 have. Which is often the case with guys who don’t have masks. It’s easier to get a hair match, because people forgot you lost one once you grow your hair back out. Pirata Morgan had lost his hair to Mascara Ano 2000 before he lost his match in 1993, but not exactly sure when it’s listed as Mask vs Hair. MS-1 and Cien Caras would have a hair vs hair match in the fall following this match.

How is the match?



Great, much like how yesterday I talked about how it was nice to see two talented guys have a contest that doesn’t need to paint a villain. I enjoy this which is the total opposite. Bad men fighting other bad men, two rudo factions seeing who can be a more despicable unit. As an all rudo match though, it’s not about showing who is the better technician. Instead it’s about who is the toughest and who has the better tricks up their sleeves.

All illusions of a respectful contest are tossed out of the ring between the 2nd and 3rd round when a brawl ensues that see’s Satanico open up Mascara Ano 2000 with a chair shot after which he mugs for the camera before the shot pans back to the bloodied Dinamita, Ano 200. If you can enjoy a brawl, than you’ll enjoy this. I really enjoy a good team move too and both the 1st/2nd rounds here end with the use of one. I think it’s a good way to put over the team concept by having a move that involves everyone on the team.

The ending might leave some people deflated as it’s not a very definitive ending, but this was a chapter in a rivalry that was running in 1993. As mentioned MS-1 and Cien Caras would have a hair match in August and Hermanos Dinamitas would defend their Mexican National Trios Championships vs Los Infernales in the end of July. This is a peek into that feud that was a big deal for AAA in 1993. With all 6 of these guys who had been CMLL talents. They would all make their way back to CMLL by the end of the 90′s. We might see one of these 6 guys again before the month finishes out.

This match was in Mexico City, 20 minutes south of Arena Mexico. Tomorrow we are going to turn the channel to CMLL. See what the main event was on the same day July 9th 1993. While they were filmed at the same time, this aired on the 18th, while the CMLL match aired the next day on the 10th. So perhaps I should have done that one first, oh well.
