This was a very good trios match. I liked the way it opened with two solid falls of action instead of having the rudos go through the motions. There were no weak links here and the pairings were extremely good. At one point, Tarzan Boy appeared to botch a spot. If it was botched, then his recovery was one of the best I've seen in a while as he turned it into a brilliant comedy spot. My favorite sequence in the match was when Casas and Ultimo forgot where they were and started potatoing each other as though it were CMLL Japan. This was well on the way to being one of the better matches of the year when they opted for a crappy finish. Ultimo Guerrero and crappy finishes are  pretty much synonymous in this era, so not a huge surprise. I wasn't super excited about CMLL going back to this match-up again, but this was high quality stuff.

High octane super fun times. Santo and Casas looked great here in totally different ways, Santo with his typically unbelievably smooth mid air transitions and gorgeous chaining offense, and Casas being the glue that holds the match structure together and keeps both teams looking strong. Niebla was really feeling himself. I think that spot from Tarzan Boy was an intentional rudo banana peel spot but either way it worked well especially with his role in the match. Agreed that finish held it back from being anything special but still loads of fun.
