This is the first in a series of reminders that El Dandy is objectively and undoubtedly the Greatest Professional Wrestler of all time. No other individual performer comes close his level of real jam up and extremely underrated performances, innovation and working attitude.
- El Dandy was one of the first wrestlers to study the tapes from japanese UWF promotion and incorporate it's shootstyle into the regular lucha libre, roughly 15 years before Bryan Danielson, Davey Richards and other assorted goons received lots of attention for using sloppy ankle locks and weak looking "MMA" elbow smashes
- El Dandy is the greatest single match worker of all time excelling at a variety of styles including long, technical masterpieces working with matwrestling skills several leagues ahead of anyone else at the time, or right now, epic bloodfeuding payoff brawls as well as a mixture of all the above.
- El Dandy is the greatest multiman match worker of all time, always knowing exactly when to work high end, fast paced exchanges or focused technical wizardry in order not to draw the focus away from other wrestlers.
- El Dandy had the greatest most durable workrate of all time carrying sloppy wrestlers like Black Warrior and Antifaz del Norte to great matches and having an epic feud with Negro Navarro many, many years after reaching his peak, starting with his series of great performances during the 80s and still going after having a very good showing in 2011's Torneo De Maestros and good matches against El Solar, Fuerza Guerrera and others in 2012.
- El Dandy was the most selfless wrestler of all time sacrificing himself to jobber duty without hesitation in order to not take the spotlight away from lesser talent such as Chris Jericho, Lance Storm etc., even willing to put over the useless David Flair.
- El Dandy was involved in the greatest feud and angle of all time when El Hijo del Santo turned heel in 1996, producing several of the greatest matches ever including their epic mask vs. hair match, where Dandy was still selfless enough not to shove himself down the fans' throat as the babyface of the match when many of them decided to side with Santo.
El Dandy far surpasses the likes of Ric Flair, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kurt Angle and Rob van Dam.
What follows is a list of video clips that should convince anyone who has the gall to dismiss El Dandy's abilities otherwise.
I'm honored that Dave and Bryan were also CC'd on this one.
