Why doesn't the best Ingobernables already have a thread? Rush's year has largely been defined by LA Park brawls (which is far from the worst thing that could happen to somebody), but he has some other good performances without LA Park. The finish to the Parajes Increibles tournament was a fantastic match and one that would have likely been a contender for CMLL MOTY if they did not radically alter their course this year. All of the matches are more or less Rush brawling, and you don't get too much more out of him, but he is always great at it and makes it work with whomever his opponent is. And really I have watched Rush and LA Park brawl all over arenas for like 2 1/2 years now and they still manage to find ways to keep it fresh and compelling. The Supre Libre match in Arena Mexico was unlike anything you regularly see there and one of the most out-of-control matches I have ever seen. Then, their trios brawl in Arena Puebla in September seemed just as fresh and new. And it's not "paying super close attention to the details" stuff that is new, these brawls feel different and have somewhat different flows to them, each one working for the setting they are in. While you do not get a ton of variety from Rush, he is definitely very good at what he does and may make my top 10.
PROMOTION NAME | NAME OF SHOW | DATE OF SHOW | MATCH | NOTES | RATING | LINK |
CMLL | Arena Mexico | 2/23/2018 | Ultimo Guerrero, Volador vs. Rush, Terrible | Finals to the Parajes Increibles tournament and this match was wild and stiff and all around great, with Rush looking fantastic and Terrible right there with him. | 4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnczGJl5WU8&feature=youtu.be&t=01h39m07s |
CMLL Pura Raza | Arena Lopez Mateos | 3/3/2018 | Dragon Lee, Mistico, Rush vs. Cuatrero, Forastero, Sanson | Really fun stuff with the two families just brawling around and going after each other. | 4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTCDgZZ2O-Q |
CMLL | Arena Mexico | 3/16/2018 | Rush, Mistico, Dragon Lee vs. Sanson, Forastero, Mascara Ano 2000 | Really fun trios match with Mistico leaning into the crowd booing him, and Mixed Generation Dinamitas holding their own. | 4 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN9ykrxcPqA&feature=youtu.be |
CMLL | Arena Mexico | 4/27/2018 | Rush vs. Kraneo | Fun stuff | 3 3/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGYSYIKdhQ8&feature=youtu.be&t=01h44m10s |
MDA | Arena Coliseo Monterrey | 4/29/2018 | LA Park vs. Mesias vs. Rush | There were lots of cool little things in this match with each guy using little tricks to get advantages, but it didn't ever quite have that out of control feel you hoped for. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI8Fax80pWw |
CMLL | Arena Mexico | 5/25/2018 | Rush, Bestia del Ring, Terrible vs. LA Park, Volador, Flyer | GREAT match which is not that different than most Rush vs LA Park brawls but you have Flyer and Volador hitting big dives, LA Park hitting big dives, a HOT Arena Mexico crowd and this just works. | 4 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8tj-gg26jY&feature=youtu.be&t=01h51m00s |
CMLL | Arena Coliseo Guadalajara | 5/29/2018 | Mr. Niebla, Rush, Mistico vs. Kraneo, Caristico, Ultimo Guerrero | 1st two falls are rushed through and the sort of standard "barely working" stuff but all these guys are really good at that "barely working" stuff. 3rd fall finally sees some Kraneo vs. Niebla stuff, Perico vs. Mije stuff and Caristico being a dick to Mistico. Fun, crowd-pleasing stuff but nothing that stands out. | 3 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHLbPEyTTPU |
Invasion Indy | Arena Neza | 6/1/2018 | LA Park vs. Rush vs. Mesias | Pretty similar to their ACM match in that it's not a wild brawl or anything, but these are 3 of the best doing their thing. They take it easy, but they are so good that this is still a really good match. | 3 3/4 | youtu.be/v5BmQ6t3x-s |
CMLL | Arena Mexico | 6/8/2018 | LA Park, Hijo de LA Park, Volador vs. Rush, Terrible, Bestia del Ring | All brawling to the extent that it was almost more of an angle than a match. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY-1WrEXKW0&feature=youtu.be&t=01h49m29s |
CMLL | Arena Mexico | 6/15/2018 | LA Park, Volador, Rey Fenix vs. Rush, Terrible, Cibernetico | Did some idiot say last week's match was all brawling to the extent it was almost more of an angle? What idiot would say that? | 4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MTK7BIHNrg&feature=youtu.be&t=01h48m14s |
The Crash | Auditorio de Tijuana | 6/16/2018 | Alberto el Patron, Penta 0 M, Rey Mysterio vs. Bestia 666, Garza Jr. Rush | Very house show type brawl but again these are all very good wrestlers so it was fun. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RZ2cP_F4YQ |
IWRG | Arena Naucalpan | 6/17/2018 | LA Park, Hijo de LA Park vs. Rush, Dragon Lee | Fun brawling stuff. I think their matches last year were better, but this was good. | 3 3/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=6foXwvKHHl8 |
CMLL | Arena Puebla | 6/18/2018 | Rush vs. Kraneo | The work is good but standard brawling stuff but Rush does violence to Kraneo in the seat of a very kind looking older man who is wearing a suit and tie to the wrestling show! And his wife! | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=keomCTkuUKI&feature=youtu.be&t=01h48m20s |
CMLL | Arena Mexico | 6/22/2018 | Rush vs. LA Park | The Super Libre match and this is one of the wildest things I have ever seen. Just absolute chaos from the jump with Park throwing AMAZING punches. A wild out of control brawl. | 4 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLornQzs26c&feature=youtu.be&t=01h56m55s |
CMLL | Arena Mexico | 7/13/2018 | Rush, Terrible vs. Volador, Valiente | This maybe drags on a bit but is generally good. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zp32kzRZZs&feature=youtu.be&t=02h00m30s |
CMLL/Cinco Estrellas | Arena Lopez Mateos | 7/14/2018 | Rush, Bestia del Ring, Terrible vs. Cuatrero, Forastero Sanson | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMQAWdOHVHs&feature=youtu.be | |
CMLL, G21 | Arena Queretaro | 8/15/2018 | Fenix, Penta 0 M, Daga vs. Rush, Mistico, Barbaro Cavernario | Great brawling between Penta and Rush, and another good babyface performance from Penta with great comebacks by him and Fenix. Of course you get a screwy ending, but what else did you expect? | 3 3/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-2bjBRnay4 |
CMLL | Arena Mexico | 9/14/2018 | Barbaro Cavernario, Rush vs. Matt Taven, Volador Jr. | 3 3/4 | ||

CMLL | Arena Puebla | 9/17/2018 | Hijo de LA Park, LA Park, Ultimo Guerrero vs. Cavernario, Bestia del Ring, Rush | YES!!!!
