Hey, something relatively current!
I wouldn’t call this great, because I’m a horrible picky internet person, and I’m sure this combination is capable of better. Hey, yea, they were capable of better just last year. This was good, but this wasn’t last year. They went way overboard with the 6 minute segment of dramatic two counts and recoveries, but Averno & Mephisto breaking up the usual finishes was a nice touch, and the tecnicos hit their opposite finishers credibility enough.
Life would’ve been much better if they did some of those near finishes in the first two falls, instead of hammering them over and over until both the wrestlers and the fans are completely exhausted, and yet we’ve still got 4 more minutes to go. This match is marketedly improved at 4/4/10 rather than 2/2/14.
I think the main event might have quietly ended the Mictlan/Infernals non-feud, but who knows with non-feuds.
Such an empty building.

When I see 2/2/14 matches, I ask myself (and I assume you do as well) – why even bother doing 3 falls?

They took that from the Toshinden Original Anime Video!!
I think that both 1st and 2nd falls were edited, the match was supposed to have lasted nearly 30 minutes. The crowd was not very hot, or maybe it was the scarcity of it, making the match being not as good as it could be.
I’m not a big fan of these “Texas Tornado” kind of match done during championship matches, maybe with neither Mistico/Casas nor Wagner/Ultimo being tag temas, we won’t see that on their next match for a change.
I caught this on (checks DVR) 7/11 (hey the day you posted this!) and am supremely disappointed you didn’t tell me whether the Celia Cruz impersonator during the dance interlude was a real woman or a drag queen.
