January 25, 20169 yr comment_5723105 His candidacy really only works with his run during the boom. If you enjoyed it, there's a good chance the argument works. If you thought it was overrated, like many I know do, then you're probably gonna think it's a joke he's nominated. I will say this, though. At the time, he was a shot in the arm for people looking for a new hot wrestler to follow since the numbers he was doing made the WO and others have to look at him a bit closely. I don't think he has enough for a list like this, because even if you do like what he did during the boom, I don't think it's enough to put him in a Top 100.
January 25, 20169 yr comment_5723113 I'm generally high on his 2010 rudo work, so long as he's not in a singles match with Volador, but that's really just a blip in his career.
January 25, 20169 yr comment_5723224 I nominated him, again in a kind of "tell me more" kind of way. The impression I get from his run on top is that he did super box office but people don't think his matches are great, or think he's been carried to them. Kind of like the Cena argument. Maybe it's because I am a fan of Cena types, but I've really enjoyed a lot of his stuff from that 2005-07 boom period. Good stuff with Casas, Averno, Perrito, etc. So I guess I'm asking for more thoughts, and what there is to his career in Mexico post-boom. Obviously the Sin Cara run is what it is, and he seems like a total fuckwit, but yeah I think his run on top is worth exploring.
April 29, 20169 yr comment_5749608 So can someone tell me if his rudo turn was a result of the crowd starting to turn on him and CMLL deciding to just go ahead and run with it? I just watched a 2009 Mistico vs. Liger match where there is definitely a split crowd with a significant portion of the crowd booing Mistico which is a very different dynamic from the 2005 match I watched a few weeks ago against Perro Jr. where the crowd was solidly in Mistico's corner.
February 2, 20232 yr comment_5998779 Undeniable charisma, I love the Ameno entrance music, great vibes in almost everything he does. I voted for him in the 90s last time but I’ll probably end up leaving him off this time around. Is there anything really good outside of his peak CMLL run that’s really worth watching? What I watched for this so far and my match ratings Mistico vs Averno (30/01/05) **** Mistico vs Ultimo Guerrero (25/02/05) **¾ Mistico vs Dr Wagner Jr (27/07/07) **** Carisitco vs Volador Jr (20/10/17) *½ Caristico vs Penta El 0 M (28/12/18) ***
October 29, 20231 yr Author comment_6013320 I recently started watching CMLL again and Mistico is back under the Mistico name seems to have got even better and is still massively over. Probably someone we should all consider.
October 31, 20231 yr comment_6013358 I wasn't impressed with the recent Rampage match against Rocky Romero, but I'm not sure if that's a good representation of his work since rebranding as Mistico. Does anyone have a list of great matches from him over the last couple years?
