Hands to the Face

[Exo]

So I stumbled upon a match from the 1990's with Mike Mena and it immediately got me thinking about the current hands to the face BS. IDK how both Mena and Felix didn't have black eyes and bloody noses after this match, it was brutal.



I wish we could get back to this wrestling!

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Damn...don't see hand fighting like that these days. However, I didn't see a "real" shot by either guy either. Not sure I'd want to see that style for every match; looked a lot like Cash's matches.

Old Danny Felix was the stud hoss back in my time in Arizona.

He looked tough as nails. Those two were throwing bombs. Now days, we instant review if someone takes a palm to the face, quite sad.

Mena should've taken down in OT in NCAA finals in cedar falls in 97 Only finalist that didnt win it. The glory years

That was one heck of an escape by Felix in OT. He looked gassed and yet manages to explode to his feet like that. Impressive.

I blame Gable for that. Mena looked right at Gable for what to do, and Gable just shrugged.

Correct. Mena looked at Gable then Dan threw his hands in the air and basically implied your choice.

Marinelli is the best hand fighter in the NCAA today.

Foley would have cried watching that match
