What's the deal with the title? Well, as people have read my work before know that I'm a traditionalist (or purist if you prefer). Of course, I could be "hip" and use the phrase "old school," but in wrestling that conjurs up images of either the Undertaker or Steve Corino. But that's not "old school enough for me."

I want really old, like ESPN Classic old. And what's more traditional than the 2/3 falls match? In ye olden day, that's how championships were decided. And it was only for people that really could wrestle, since it usually meant a 20-30 minute match. And that's what I like and prefer, even if there's no chance of seeing it on Monday night anytime soon.

BUT you (and I) can see it on Tuesday nights. And that's the other cool dynamic of the name. Most Lucha matches are 2/3 falls. And again, if you read my stuff here before, you know I prefer Lucha to either American or Japanese wrestling these days.

There you go. And now, let's go back to the future with my first OO column in many, many years.
