Posted December 16, 201014 yr comment_5460438 There was an opening counter of a top rope back suplex that was somewhat sloppy but other than that this had some awesome stuff in it. Nova took a fucking crazy face planting bump on the guardrail off of a plancha. Candido's control segment was cool as he threw some stiff blows, and they did some great teased comebacks. Loved Candido just avoiding certain counter attempts and sort of workign a "master of ring positioning" gimmick in this one. Really liked the top rope rana and loved the sequence with Nova hitting a diving dropkick but getting caught with a sick looking German for a nearfall. Nova's nearfall off of a superplex felt like a token, but other than that the body of this was really good and the finish with Candido hanging from the rafters as he hit his top rope powerbomb ruled.

Nova wasn't sharp on some of his offense but he was fine and they kept this moving at a fast pace which was nice. Candido using the rafters to setup his superbomb was great. Fun little match and I'll go with a low-end nomination.
