Posted September 5, 201015 yr comment_5455338 Taka Minchinoku v. Papi Chulo - Man, I had a blast watching this. Loved the Papi kick to TAKA's throat that sends Taka outside. I didn't see the awkward spots or exchanges that you did because I thought everything was pretty fluid. I was afraid that Essa and TAKA might have a cultural barrier but nothing of the sort. This isn't a match I would fight for but something I definitely want Kris to check out. Low level nomination.

I remember liking Essa Rios a lot at the time but he really didn't hit his big spots all that well and telegraphed a lot of the exchanges badly. Taka carried him to something decent, but I had expected this to be pretty dynamic at the very least and it really wasn't. Finish was pretty epic though.
