El Satanico vs. Gran Cochisse

[7.0] "perhaps it was the quality, maybe its just my mood but this one was really plodding for a long time. There was a lot of really good work at play, especially towards the back half, but I had a hard time. Im giving it a 7 and not a 5 or 6 because I feel that the work was really good and that it was more on me in this case."

[9.0] "There is a point in this where, if you lock in, you are essentially watching the Zen '80s lucha title match. Satanico somehow builds sympathy even as he starts as a rudo; by the tercera, he is being stretched out maximally. The rhythm is that strange, liquid, emphasized style, and is superlative in the category by never being particularly slow, never falling into an imbalance over crowdwork. Cochisse is a great foil: neat, elegant, convincing. Their primera matwork is very fine, and some of their "spots" are just very satisfying. The blows and the throws look real, feel heavy; there is not a visual elegance but it is still an elegance in execution. The end is slightly sudden, or "over-simple", but then again the story there is of exhaustion. This is very good. 4.5/5"

[10.0] "A masterclass of technical matwork and incredible storytelling. Perhaps the most underrated match of all time in today's overall wrestling zeitgeist. Satanico is one of the greatest performers of all time."

[8.0] "I noticed some more of the character elements here, especially Satanico's subtle heeling in the first two falls and Cochise working rougher in the third. The match actually felt faster than the first time I watched it, they keep things moving a fair bit. I also appreciated the fluidity of the counter exchanges a bit more."

[10.0] "This is how title matches were worked in 1980's Lucha Libre. It has amazing matwork from both guys. That first lock up would made Steve Austin proud. It goes progressively to big moves. It has great selling from both guys."
