Mascara vs. Mascara: Egipcio
vs. Rayo de Jalisco Jr.
Wow, what a
superb match, such a tremendous “discovery” I checked the moment I saw it
uploaded on YouTube. Lucha really is loaded with hidden gems, including big
apuesta matches with famous stars. This was magnificent and followed your
classic big match formula that always works, with three acts of rudo
domination, tecnico comeback and tercera restart with big moves and drama.
Egipcio was an awesome bruiser in first two falls, giving some really hard time
to Rayo Jr., and the latter sold it perfectly, he was making those torture
screams and noises, it was scary good and compelling. Third fall was pure
perfection and what really launched this match into the stratosphere. Marvelous
high-end shit with a plethora of mesmerizing workrate pieces, big moves,
dramatic pin attempts and Arena Mexico going crazy. Incredible match.
