Loss Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hot main event match when the technicos start getting in some of their own shots. Konnan's hairstyle is amusing, and he does look pretty good in a few sequences, surprisingly enough. Loved Parka's extended dancing in the final fall where he ends up tricking the rudos into triple-teaming Pentagon. A big part of the third fall is opening match/feeling out/comedy-type stuff, which seems a little late in the match. All the drama surrounding the coke bottle is fun, and this is a really terrific main event spectacle, even if it's not really that well laid out a match.

Tim Evans Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Nice to see young Perro Jr brawling with Fuerza Guerrera. I wasn't a big fan of this. Too much AAA brawling but the bottle stuff was neat. Pentagon sells it like death but it's kinda eerie given what happened to him a couple months later.

PeteF3 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 This match was a blast, and was shaping up to be one of the better lucha matches of the year after a super-hot first fall (even before the first fall, with Fuerza and Perro, Jr. going at it). La Parka takes a sick bump off the ringpost and Pentagon is really compelling--kicking Octagon's ass when he blindsides him, but running like a scalded dog when Octagon has a fair shot at him. And holy fuck, that La Parka/Pentagon spot...one of the greatest comedy sequences I've EVER seen. That was some David Copperfield-level shit. Probably the hardest I've laughed at any single thing on any Yearbook so far, once I realized what had happened. All that said, the third fall is a mess with an anticlimactic ending, and that's where this falls comfortably short of being a lucha MOTY. The Octagon-Pentagon story never pays off, and where the fuck WAS Konnan for all this? I literally forgot this was 4-on-4 until he suddenly reappeared at the end. Naturally he gets the winning submission and gets his music played. Hogan-esque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
