Vinnie B Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 This was also pretty great. There was probably a lot of story I missed out on, but the actual action was stellar. Mistico crashing and burning on a dive was the highlight. I would not have expected it, but Mistico clearly looks like the best in the world so far in 2005. **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahoos Leg Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 This is a great wrestling match that I highly recommend, and also stands as proof that a match doesn’t have to be a 30-, 40-, or 60-minute epic to shine. The high spots are tremendous. You can see from watching this why Mistico became such a big star. Not only is this a great match on its own, but I also think it’s a good choice for wrestling fans who are unfamiliar with lucha libre but would like to learn more about this style. Here's a link to my full review, as part of the 365 Wrestling project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El McKell Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 What in the name of god is going on with the finish of the 1st fall here? Mistico fucking submits as a result of missing a dive??? But wins the fall anyway because Guerrero is DQ'd for continuing to attack him? This is the most baffling finish to a fall I've seen in my life.

ohtani's jacket Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 This was a match that originally turned me off Mistico, Ultimo Guerrero, or anything to do with the modern style of lucha libre. Watching it 19 years later and within the context of the five years that preceded it, it's not great but it's not a turnoff anymore. Booking-wise, they do their best to put Mistico over Ultimo without making Ultimo look bad. Work-wise, they're trying to bring the excitement the same way WWE workers do. They probably could have had a more traditional match in Guadalajara or some other territory, but for Arena Mexico purposes they delivered they hit the high notes and delivered the talking points that were required. That is far, far away from a MOTYC, however, and this match has no business in any such conversations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the most baffling finish to a fall I've seen in my life. What the hell. I had no memory of the 1st fall ending like this when I'd seen this before, but you're right. Mistico says "no mas" after Guerrero shoves him back into the ring, the ref tries to push away Guerrero from attacking him, but Guerrero attacks him anyway and gets DQ'd. All time bad finish there. I also like how Mistico goes from Hogan/Michaels tier overselling in the first fall to working these incredibly difficult looking flying counters in the second fall, and then back to selling like death with no middle ground. A good no fluff spotfest but I wouldn't call it a great match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
