[2001-10-16-CMLL] Pierrothito vs Ultimo Dragoncito

[ohtani's jacket]

This was a treat even if it was short. I would have liked a more traditional title match, but for a 10 minute title bout the fans sure got their money's worth. The Arena Coliseo tecnico fans were behind Ultimo while Pierrothito had Los Boricuas in his corner, and apparently Pierroth cared as much about the minis title as he did the National trios titles. The match almost ended on a botched moonsault to the outside where Ultimo's head hit the ramp with a sickening thud, but he was able to continue the match. There was one spot after that where Pierroth had to walk through a sequence that he'd usually execute in a flash, but they managed to right the ship and finish the bout. This might not be on the level of the Minis Classics, but in an era where the minis usually wound up on the cutting room floor, it was a joy to watch.
