This had a lot of interesting things going for it. In the 1st fall we see the Spoiler focus on Halcon's neck area. To keep him away from his neck Halcon uses some nice looking arm drags. Spoiler refocuses his effort again on the neck and uses the ropes to spring off of. He pins Halcon with a springboard knee drop to the neck.

 

The 2nd fall we see them work some complicated timing spots. Halcon was using his Lucha skills to keep Spoiler off balance. Halcon took a nasty bump to the outside. Halcon steals the 2nd fall.

 

The 3rd fall was pretty great. It starts off with some real nasty arm work. Then transitions to the leg. Then Halcon goes for a front crab that gets positioned into a camel clutch. All of that was pretty unique. Halcon starts to undo the mask. Spoiler gets control and goes for the claw. Each time he couldn't make the claw stick. So in a brilliant maneuver Spoiler rips the mask so he can now lock on the claw. This ends in a DQ, and Halcon rips off Spoiler's mask. 2 3/4*

Really interesting match up. El Halcon is a guy who does pretty lucha spots. Spoiler is a killing machine. Parts of this were really good - Spoiler bumps well for Halcon's armdrags, and Halcon showed that he had some skill in applying pin combos. On the other hand, Halcon on offense was kind of a mixed bag. Especially considering that Spoiler was crushing him with knee drops and elbows that looked like they weighed ten thousand pounds. I think Halcon's stuff in response was a little doosy doo. I mean, at one point Spoiler powered out of a pretty lucha submission and just kicked Halcon in the ribcage before dropping him on the cold arena floor. I really loved the bit where Halcon kept slipping out of Spoiler's Claw, so Spoiler rips his mask open and applies the claw to his exposed brain, leaving him bloodied. Once again Gary Hart ends the match. Very worthwhile match and Spoiler is becoming a must watch guy simply for his blunt force style.
