HEAT #445 – Martinete 2: The Martinetening

As we all know, the spinning Tombstone is more powerful than a regular Tombstone, for… reasons? Wrestling!

I actually watched a New Japan show in a timely fashion, because the G1 Special aired on the Fight Network in Canada, and that channel was on free preview. That was a super fun show. I think it might be the first time I’ve watched an NJPW opening multi-man tag in 2017, which almost certainly wouldn’t have happened if it hadn’t been live on television. There’s too much wrestling, so I cherry pick a lot, and NJPW multi-man tags are an easy cut. The opener the G1 Special was a blast, though. It was like everyone decided to wrestle on fast forward. Also, Michael Elgin and Kenny Omega had a nearly five star match, so that was pretty rad.

HEAT #435 – Martinete

HEAT #435 – Martinete

In Mexico, the Tombstone Piledriver is called a Martinete, and is a total death move. There was a mask match last year, Canis Lupus vs Trauma I, where Trauma wore a neck brace for a notable portion of the match because he took one Tombstone. Guys get carted out from them. The move is hugely protected as a killer.

What I’m saying is that Shawn Michaels and Triple H would both be unbeatable in Mexico, because they can kick out of two or three Tombstones in a row.

If you’re in Calgary this weekend, I’ll be at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo. Hit up the Renegade Arts Entertainment booth, 1222-1322 in the BMO Centre. I’ll be there signing and selling books, slinging prints, and probably doing some commissions. I’m thinking about bringing some original art to sell, but we’ll see.
