Demus's matches are still a rarity, but they are still full of hatred and are a celebration of violence. His best matches have this great uncooperative look as he really looks like nothing else is on his mind other than hurting the guy across from him, like William Regal or Finlay often had. How can you not like the angry little man punching, clawing and biting his way through a match?
PROMOTION NAME | NAME OF SHOW | DATE OF SHOW | MATCH | NOTES | RATING | LINK |
Super Astro | Tortas Super Astro | 2/3/2018 | Demus vs. Wotan | Decided to add this for sake of completeness. I rewatched and still just don't like it. Did Demus get punched in the face at the start? It looks like it and then the match is just slow and aimless and not good. | 2 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJC2yMcrvIs&feature=youtu.be |
IAP | Centro Civico Nueva Aragon | 2/4/2018 | Demus vs. Fuerza Guerrera | The brawling segments of this are great, with both guys just bleeding everywhere and diving in to chairs in front of about 50 people. Slows down when they have to get in the ring to finish the match, but really fun stuff up to that point. | 4 | youtu.be/WCjlhV5q-eA |
indy | Club Apolo | 4/1/2018 | Demus vs. Wotan | This is great. Lightube spots are kind of dumb, but when two guys are rolling around brawling on a pile of broken lightubes it just works. | 4 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ3ftt9I2AM |
MDA | Arena Coliseo Monterrey | 4/29/2018 | El Divo, Fuerza Guerrera vs. Demus, Panthro | Standard brawling stuff, which was fun if not groundbreaking. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjUKTaaGKKY |
LLB, NOBA, TWE | Arena Lopez Mateos | 7/21/2018 | Demus, Wotan, Masada, X-Fly vs. Bestia 666, Damian, Halloween, Nicho | Starts out as Demus vs. Bestia but then FdT run out and attack Demus and then the rest of Demus's "team" comes out. Standard plunder stuff after that, although Demus has a great spot but when you're expecting a Demus singles match and instead you get FdT it's kind of hard to get too excited. | 3 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRpyToJkTFM |
MDA | Arena Coliseo Monterrey | 7/29/2018 | Demus vs. Principe Legendario | That guy used to be Alberto Dos Rios? I only saw him a few times, but I did not think he had this type of match in him. This is short and brutal without using any weapons or plunder or anything like that. From the opening lockup everything Demus does looks like he is trying to kill the other guy with it. Stiff punches and kicks and everything about this is blurring the line between a stiff match and taking cheap shots on the other guy/working uncooperatively. Great match. | 4 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMxwuHO6w3U&feature=youtu.be&t=00h10m05s |
indy | unknown | unknown | Demus vs. Dement Extrem vs. Epitafio | Fairly standard brawling and weapons stuff that aims to please the crowd but they also have a spot where THEY THROW A DOG AT EACH OTHER!!!! | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YlaLtc6K_k |
