Posted July 8, 201213 yr comment_5509613 Climax wrestling in a shirt with suspenders drawn on is weird and distracting at first, but he's pretty solid once you get past that. Watching this match, Mocho Cota really comes across as a serious "Stock Going Up" kind of guy. I mean, I always liked him from the little I had seen before this project, and this isn't even his best match, but it is a match that he pretty much makes. And I liked pretty much everyone in this, but I don't know if I see myself nominating this without his performance. With it, I feel pretty comfortable doing so. He gets to do a little bit of everything in this match, and he's great at all of it. He has a slick matwork section with Climax at the beginning, is a ton of fun taunting Mil and then bumping off of his power stuff, he gets to beat on El Indio, including a sucker punch that's to die for, works in some great rudo shtick...it's a great opportunity to see the full complement of talents he possessed. Colosetti was fun as the heavy of the rudos, and played off of Cota well. Climax, Indio, and Tristero were all spry, solid, and ate beatings well. Mil was not at his best here. He spent most - though not all - of this match working as a smaller, more athletic Andre, but he was not nearly as interesting as actual Andre, never mind Andre when he was athletic. Still, he wasn't a total load, either. The rudos all worked around his stuff well, and he was willing to take his lumps when the time came. Either way, it's worth it for the Cota.
July 22, 201312 yr comment_5552754 Solid work by all involved but unspectacular match. Cota and Climax (is he the guy in suspenders?) worked really well but I was telling Kris and Phil there was nothing I thought I would remember in a week or two . I think this could go on the set but could be dropped easily depending on the strength of the first 75 matches.
July 22, 201312 yr comment_5552759 I think we can let this go, it was fine but it was the least of the Sonora matches and the other two are good enough that they can rep that promotion
July 22, 201312 yr comment_5552762 Mil would be the reason this made the set so I think we can leave this one off.
