[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Good match. Brawling at the beginning and end, with more wrestling in the middle. Villano III using the top rope armdrag as a finisher was interesting. Villano is actually the star of this match. I love his mini-boxing match with Pirata, and the DDT. Things between Estrada and Satanico are particularly heated, which makes me want to see next week's hair match. Not quite the great match I was hoping for, but lots worth checking out nonetheless.

The first fall was kind of a tepid rudo beatdown but the technico showcase in the second was something. I actually liked Satanico the most of anyone here, as he threw some great punches and just showed great fire in general. Estrada takes a death-defying bump to nowhere but comes back in the third fall to get the decisive pin on Satanico. Unfortunately the first and third falls didn't measure up to a really fun second. Heated post-match with Satanico challenging (or maybe just reminding) Estrada to a hair vs. hair match.

I really liked the third caida of this match with the tempers flared and the story building between Santanico and Estrada. First two caidas were fine but felt like showcases for the respective teams. I thought Atlantis looked really graceful in this match.

A good match here with 6 workers I like a lot. The response from the crowd from Satanico's punches were great. He really milked those things.

Rudos with very little resistant dominate the first fall by just staying the ring the whole time and overwhelming their opponents. Second fall has better ring action. I liked Pirata slithering out of the ring after taking a backbreaker. Figured we get a longer third fall but it too feels short.

[Cox]

I felt like this cut off right as the third fall was starting to get really good. Feels like a match that could have used another 2-3 minutes, but was still a fun trios match.

This one was a bit too chaotic for its own good. The rudos were fairly dominant, which surprised me a bit. I had a hard time following most of it, and it was obvious toward the end that they were building toward the Satanico-Estrada hair match, so I hope it's worth the hype.

 

I agree that Villano's top tope arm drag looked amazing. I'm surprised that I've never seen anyone else try it as a finisher.

Okay, I think I'm very slowly starting to get it. I liked the top rope arm drag and I liked what I think was the third fall. I could tell the third fall was more heated and emotional.
