Negro Casas

[10.0] "El 4:40 from the Casas dynasty, Negro is undisputably the best worker to come out of the family and that is a huge compliment when you look at the incredible talent that stems from it. A living legend that has had great matches in basically every decade since debuting, and had perhaps one of the greatest lucha rivalries ever against El Hijo del Santo (one I highly reccommend watching) culminating in that great Aniversario hair vs mask match."

[10.0] "Many decades of greatness. His 1997 hair vs mask match with El Hijo Del Santo is a timeless wonder of lucha libre on what is the nature of pro wrestlings beast. 5 star Jr heavyweight star in Mexico among many amazingly big draws. This man is the trainer of several wrestlers, including Mephisto, Kazushige Nosawa, TJP, Rocky Romero, Felino Jr and Ricky Marvin of AAA fame. Negro Casas. And Negro is El 4:40."

[10.0] "Negro Casas may be the greatest luchador of all time very very underrated when it comes to all time great technical wrestlers of all time and he can fly with the best of them! Very charismatic and just an all around great worker in my opinion he isnt just one of the greatest Mexican wrestlers ever but one of the greatest wrestlers of all time in general."

[10.0] "Few wrestlers have had the longevity at a high level the way Negro Casas has. Even though he is in his 60s now, he can still bust out a high level match from time to time. Even when he doesn't, there is nothing bad about his in ring ability at this point. He could work a great match with nearly anyone he stepped into the ring with and that hasn't ever really stopped no matter how old he's gotten. Nearly every single legendary luchador since the 80s has had either an iconic feud or 5 star match with Negro Casas for a reason."

[10.0] "In a word, God. Workrate, character, longevity, output, importance, entertainment, chemistry, influence, face/heel, tag/singles, international success... what is the category that Negro Casas is not a megastar in? If humanity ever builds a supercomputer to figure out the greatest wrestler ever, I would not so much as scratch my eyebrow if it told us Negro Casas is the mathematical #1. To the kids- he is the next guy you need to binge on Youtube."

[10.0] "Wish it were easier to talk about his earlier matches on here. Regardless though, he's one of the greatest of all time."

[10.0] "Negro Casas is the Ric Flair of Mexico. The longevity, the unparalleled skill, the legendary rivalries with the likes of El Hijo del Santo and Mistico, the great matches in Mexico and Japan, the ability, to this very day, told hold the crowd of Arena Mexico and have them eating out of the palm of his hand; whatever it is, Negro Casas was a masterclass at it. If he had been a few inches taller and wrestled in the United States he would be widely considered one of the five greatest wrestlers of all time by my estimation. As such he is still one of the five greatest wrestlers of all time. The day Negro Casas retires will be the saddest day lucha libre has seen in a long time."

[10.0] "Is Negro Casas the worst wrestler of all time? No. Is Negro Casas the greatest wrestler of all time? Yes."

[9.0] "Negro Casas has had a level of longevity that few wrestlers have ever had. After almost 40 years in the business, Casas is still able to actively contribute to matches, and show flashes of the form that once made him one of the best in the world."

[6.0] "This wrestler has enought technique, but is very rude with the fans, and he has bad mood. For this reason doesnŽt have good evaluation."

[10.0] "Perhaps the greatest luchador ever, the man has been great since the 80s and is still putting on great matches into his old age. He's got a kind of sly grit that's hard to put into words, but he definitely stands out more and more as you watch him, you can only marvel at how consistently great he is."

[10.0] "its amazing how a man of 56 still in main events and the same level of allways, quick, strong, deadly a trully master of the ring, one of the greatest stars of the arena mexico for all the generations, a trully teacher for the new faces who wants to be a star."

[10.0] "Perhaps the best sustained run of great work in modern history, effortlessly amazing rudo yet plays veteran technico like he's been doing it all along. His 1997 hair vs mask match with El Hijo Del Santo is a masterclass in high drama. They work it more like it's All Japan than CMLL, loads of stiff striking, very little flash. The importance and heated grudge was sold to the nth degree and he's still fantastic now eighteen years later and he was fantastic for many years before that. It's a tragedy we don't have access to more of his 80s work. One of the greats."

[10.0] "Probably my favourite luchador of all time and one of the greatest wrestlers in the history. I don't know how good his mic-skills are, but as far all other wrestling aspects go, he is one of the best overall packages of all time."
