From the Archives: Drake Younger vs. Mustafa Saed

Yes, this Supreme Pro Wrestling affair is a match featuring one-half of the tag team known as The Gangstaz. No, Mustafa Saed isn't dead or even decrepit like his partner New Jack is. This match happened in 2012, and Saed looks maybe the best put-together of any ECW alumnus not named Tommy Dreamer. Who saw that coming? Anyway, there are a lot of annoying things in this match, like Saed kinda putting on his no-selling boots and Younger bleeding, Ric Flair-style, within the first two minutes of the bell ringing. Oh yeah, there's no decisive finish, and Younger lambastes "management" for it. However, I thought the inordinate amount of fun contained within far outweigh the annoyances. It's just the right amount of bonkers for a first-time encounter in a small, NorCal indie promotion.
