El Hijo del Santo vs. El Averno, 10/22/04 (WWA World Welterweight Championship)

Man, Lucha has lost its charm.

After watching raw, grainy footage of Santo and Espanto Jr, this came across as pretty damn lifeless.

I was kinda hoping that Averno would prove himself to be more than a foil, but he took little or no initiative in the matwork and despite Santo still being pretty slick, this was just a series of spots.

It's all neatly packaged, but I saw better work on the Todos X el Todos show & those guys are truly ancient.
