This was a blast. Let me put it this way. I would have loved to be in the crowd for this match even more than for a lot of the top end matches we've seen so far. It was a total sprint brawl, a babyface being dominant and forcing comeuppance as the heel tried again and again while bumping and making him looking like a million bucks, but still coming back so that he looked strong too. It was to set up a Mexican Death Match so they had to bring the level of sound and fury to warrant it and they absolutely did. Hector was so, so good in this match, bumping, stooging, cheating (escalating in this), taking every advantage and Lothario was just a force, letting things connect and letting them stagger him but never really seeming in danger, giving the crows what they wanted again and again. What sums it up best was the moment where Hector threw in the chair only for Lothario to catch it and clobber him once he got in.
I think maybe, just maybe, Hector should have won a few of the exchanges, or held the advantage for a little bit longer, or just given a little bit less once or twice, if only because it would have made the equal standoff for the finish a little more believable.
Lothario is a top five puncher of all time? Is that so far off a comment at this point?
I also loved Hector's promo at the end.
