Daga has gotten much better over the past few years. His strikes look better, his sense of timing and pacing has improved from "non existent" to "usually fine," and maybe he is just wrestling better opponents. It's gotten to the point that I am actually watching Daga singles matches - an terrifying thought just a few years ago. An even more unpredictable development is that these Daga singles matches are actually good. He does not bring anything terrible unique or innovative to indie style matches, but he is athletic enough and has gotten good enough to work that style very well. He'll likely end up somewhere near the middle of my list, but really a few more singles matches of the caliber he has had and he could make it much higher.
PROMOTION NAME | NAME OF SHOW | DATE OF SHOW | MATCH | NOTES | RATING | LINK |
The Crash | Auditorio de Tijuana | 1/20/2018 | Penta 0M, Daga, Masada vs. Bestia 666, Mecha Wolf, Garza Jr. | Everybody was brawling all over so you don't see much or get too good of a feel for the whole thing, but it is a fun garbage brawl from what you can see, and felt like a better camera angle would have turned this in to a great match. | 3 3/4 | youtu.be/K1oW98c80TA |
The Crash | WrestleCon | 4/6/2018 | Daga vs. Bandido | 3 3/4 | ||
The Crash | Lienzo Charro Prof Enrique Gonzalez | 5/18/2018 | Daga, Rey Horus vs. Flamita, Bandido | There is a . . . child? or a mini? that is in Flamita & Bandido's corner in wrestling gear, and they get involved, and their trunks say "*uck" with the * being either an F or a T. I don't know what any of this means but it is a change of pace for a match from these guys who otherwise hit their good dives and spots. | 3 1/2 | youtu.be/U29YNXKNobk |
LLB/MDA/Lucha Memes | Arena Lopez Mateos | 6/17/2018 | Daga vs. Ricky Marvin | Very deliberately (read: slow) paced match but EVERYTHING looks great. Even when something looks messed up, it turns out to be on purpose and looks great. Until the end, which is sloppy. But two very good, hard-hitting wrestlers trying to out-wrestle and hit each other hard. | 4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgwf1kAowu4 |
The Crash | Auditorio de Tijuana | 7/14/2018 | Daga vs. Matt Riddle | Starts off with some really fun matwork, then leads into a pretty standard Matt Riddle indie style match but these 2 are good at that. Fun stuff. | 4 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM73GP81B38 |
The Crash | Palenque del Fex | 4/15/2018 | Daga, Hijo de LA Park, Willie Mack vs. ACH, Arkangel Divino, Jimmy Jacobs | Clipped, but this is fun. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJJk9Z_ynGU |
The Crash | Auditorio de Tijuana | 6/16/2018 | Matt Riddle, Mr. 450 vs. Fenix, Daga | Fun, fast paced match. This is clipped, but just barely. | 4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PfviRW_xlw |
