Silky smooth
matwork and transitions, with such fluidity to the reversals and counters. One
of my favorite moments of the match, which may seem minor, was the way Virus
maintained arm control even when Hechicero was kipping up to his feet in an
escape attempt. The progression from the grappling to the striking to some of
the bigger spots, like Hechicero’s Muscle Buster or the great rope-hung
dropkick, felt natural, building to a finish that brought the match back to its
roots. The hammerlock counter into the submission finish was a pretty awesome
display of power from Hechicero. As a largely non-lucha
guy, this is the engaging kind of match I can get behind. Some of those
2-out-of-3 falls matches can feel little disjointed and take away from the
momentum and build.
