Final thoughts

An hour long match that I watched 3 times. The match held my interest from the opening bell. Every one had a chance to stand out and show what they could do and it was fun to see Jack Evans in a match like this. The match had comedy, hard hitting action and a lot of what makes the Lucha style great. A couple of surprise returns didn't hurt either. Cuerto's no selling was done perfectly to sell himself as an unstoppable force. Every feud got the spotlight too which was a smart way to extend them.
