[2018-09-06-MLW] Fenix vs Low Ki

[Phil Schneider]

These are two of the most athletically gifted wrestlers in the world, and one might expect a souped up version of Ki vs. Red or Fenix vs. Flamita, but instead we got Mil Muertes vs. Fenix with Ki in the role of a smaller even more violent Muertes. Much of the match has Ki beating on Fenix with brutal shots, and Fenix leaks blood all over the ring. There are some awesome bits of athletic amazement here and there, they do a variation of the Ki vs. Red Matrix spot, Fenix flies into the second row with a tope con hilo, Fenix does a crazy rope trick rana and a rope trick Spanish Fly. Much of this match was straight violent though, with Ki grunting and screaming as he tried to kick Fenix's ribs through his chest, or Fenix unloading a gunshot open hand shot on Ki's chest. Finish was kind of nifty with Ki pushing Fenix into the ropes and Selena pulling of Fenix's mask. While Fenix is covering up his face he eats a brutal top rope double stomp to the spine for the pin. Great stuff, feels like the start of cool rivalry, and Konan bringing in luchadores to topple Ki should be great (already jazzed for Ki vs. Daga at the NYC show)
