Great, great match. Chavo v. Satanico is a dream match I hadn't dreamed and it was just awesome. There is a point where they are on their knees just pounding on each other. We also get a lot of fun Rayo v. Dinamitas stuff too, Rayo was damn athletic for a big dude he takes a huge high backdrop and hits his spectacular plancha. This had a lot of cool traditional spots like the star done really well, great brawling too. Slam Dunk Nomination

I am a bit less gung ho about this than Phil. It was a really big brawl, but some of the Rayo/Dinamitas comedy stuff felt forced and out of place. Still a great match. When Rayo wasn't doing comedy, his brawling with the Dinamitas was top notch. Didn't know he had a northern lights suplex in him. Also thought Lizmark gave a great brawling performance here. Not always a guy I think of for his brawling, but he was excellent brawling with Chavo outside the ring. And the Chavo/Satanico stuff was boss. The finish of the first fall with the Rayo northern lights suplex, Lizmark blasting Cien with a missile dropkick, and Chavo just bailing when he saw Satanico coming his way was awesome. Not perfect, but still very much a solid nomination.

Cien Caras/Chavo Guerrero/Mascara Ano Dos Mil vs. Lizmark/Rayo de Jalisco Jr./Satanico (10/20/89)

 

Rayo wants a piece of the Dinamitas of course but the highlight here is Chavo & Satanico and holy shit was this a blast watching two of the all-timers warring with each other. It was fun watching Rayo & Lizmark brawl as well especially Lizmark who isn't known for his brawling but stepped it up here and hung with the big brawlers. Rayo's comedy stuff was kinda forced yeah but it was something you knew was coming so it didn't really bother me especially Chavo selling it like he did. These guys were hitting each other with force and you got the sense that these guys hated each other which is what you want here. We would also get the traditional lucha style here as well with guys flying around but the violence made this match great for me. This is a definite nomination to me.
