Am I missing it or has nobody started a thread for the best angry, brawling, Satanic luchador? He has been in 3 of the wildest brawls of the year (vs. Impulso, vs. Black Terry and vs. Iron Kid) which is enough to get him on my list. He's been working with Mascarita Sagrada in The Crash lately, which is always cool (although I skipped the intergender matches after hearing they were very tedious), and has held together some of the trios matches that would have been dreadful without him. PROMOTION NAME | NAME OF SHOW | DATE OF SHOW | MATCH | NOTES | RATING | LINK | Caralucha | Arena San Juan Pantitlan | 1/1/2017 | Demus, Yoruba vs. Solar, Sky Man | Solar is noticeably slower than he was just a year or 2 ago. This is still fun, with Demus and Yoruba doing some stooging around for Solar's spots. It goes on a bit too long, but is good overall. | 3 1/4 | youtu.be/psb9GYMknhA | WMC | Arena San Juan Pantitlan | 2/26/2017 | Demus 3:16, Lunatik Fly, Ovett vs. Yoruba, Lunatik Xtreme, Danger | Joined in progress but this starts with Ovett ripping a soda can in two and cutting Lunatik Xtreme open with it. Pretty standard hardcore brawl after that, with lots of guys bleeding and punching each other hard. Good, but nothing amazing (outside of that nutty can spot, which is actually repeated later in the match). | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8m-Rncd8Fk | RCH | Arena Naucalpan | 6/2/2017 | Demus 3:16 vs. Impulso | Starts out at 100 and gets better from there. Just a wild, fast paced brawl with some insane spots. Great match. | 4 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=riv_hWqXSqQ | LyP | Arena Lopez Mateos | 6/10/2017 | Jeff Cobb, Rocky Lobo,Rey Fenix vs. Demus, Juventud Guerrera, Super Crazy | Well paced and fun. Fenix looked really good, as did Rocky Lobo. | 3 3/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDkBI-rne40&feature=youtu.be | Lucha Memes | Coliseo Coacalco | 6/18/2017 | Iron Kid vs. Demus | Great, face paces brawl. Everything hits perfectly. Demus gives up just enough for Iron Kid's comebacks to work. Everything is done at a good pace and looks great. Absolute blas. | 4 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdgmpP0D5WI&t=0s | ANCLA WWCI | Arena San Juan Pantitlan | 6/24/2017 | Black Terry vs. Demus | This is like a close-up magic show, with the two of them going from one spot in the arena to another and hitting each other right in front of (and on top of) the people sitting there. Good stuff, though. | 4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=99l8XNGV_F0&list=WL&index=32 | Super Astro | Arena Naucalpan | 8/18/2017 | Bobby Zavala, Epydemius, Eterno vs. Demus, Dr. Karonte Jr., Fishman Jr. | Eterno and Demus are the only reason to watch this match. It's not bad by any means, but is nothing special except for those 2. Plucky face Eterno is so fun, and Demus continues to be an angly little wrecking machine. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPbwAcb9iuM&index=32&list=WL | The Crash | Auditorio de Tijuana | 10/5/2017 | Demus 3:16, Ultimo Maldito, Steve Pain vs. Mascarita Dorada, Laredo Kid, Arkangel Divino | Very clipped but MASCARITA DORADA DOES MASCARA DORADA'S OVER THE TURNBUCKLE DIVE AND ARKANGEL DIVINO DOES MASCARITA'S TWIRLING SPOT!!!! Demus is great, too. | 4 1/4 | youtu.be/qi6teINeRB0 | The Crash | Auditorio de Tijuana | 11/4/2017 | Demus 3:16, Black Danger vs. Mascarita Sagrada, Jonathan | Good dives and stuff. Fun match | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkGWj8ivsfY |

I probably ruined Demus for myself this year as I started with the Black Terry and Iron Kid matches. How does it get better? If he has another match at that level he might be a top 10 guy. The Iron Kid may be the perfect match for what I enjoy in pro wrestling. Short, fast, and everything his hit HARD!

The Impulso match is also really good. The 2/26 trios is a good brawl. The rest of the matches on my list are somewhat standard trios matches but Demus looks good in all of them.
Did he have anything worth watching in TNA/Impact/GFW?

Demus will absolutely make my list. As a WKO100 voter for the last few years, I came to the realization that it's completely reasonable to put a person on your list even if he/her/they only had three worthwhile matches. Cassandro made my list a few years ago based entirely on their performances in that Ruleta de la Muerte for Villano 5's retirement show.

The hair v. beard match with Wotan just hit the internet today if you are looking for another Demus match to make a top 10 case with. He was also awesome when I saw him live, working a trios with Zumbido against some random Denver lucha scrubs

On top of what's already been mentioned, the Wotan match from January is quite good too. Bite-sized brawl with tremendous color from the little gremlin. I need to see more than just that but Demus has a real good shot at making it into the middle part of my list. Might honestly be my highest-ranked luchador.

Yeah, that was it. Rudo Vision also had an angle of it and I'd recommend watching both. youtu.be/ruwpSi10oek

After some debate, he'll make my list. The main issue is volume and lack of full-taped matches, but what we do have is pretty damn good. The Iron Kid, Impulso, Wotan, and especially Black Terry matches are all great and he's a really solid seller. Just no more chairshots to the head.

So badly wish he had some depth to go with his elite stuff. Not saying he won't rate VERY high for me but I won't feel as good about it as I want to.

There are clips of a brawl that he had with Trauma 1 that looks AMAZING but full match is not available.
