El Hijo del Santo, Black Warrior, Silver King, El Felino Dr Wagner Jr, El Satanico, Scorpio Jr & Kevin Quinn vs Negro Casas, El Dandy, Ultimo Dragon, Atlantis, Shocker, Mascara Magica, La Fiera & Brazo de Oro (Torneo Cibernetico - CMLL - 04/18/97)
This is one of the most insane matches ever. 16 wrestlers going just balls to the wall for almost an hour. The opening 20+ minutes is just insane back and forth matwork with some of the best wrestlers ever. When it goes into the stretch run and is all highspots and nearfalls it is just exhausting. Awesome match with a ton of great performances.

Seconded.
One of those super long matches that I actually enjoy, probably because there is so many people in it and it keeps changing itself up. What I love about this, besides everybody looking awesome, is the Santo-Casas segments, the hate really ties everything together. Silver King, Shocker and Felino were also stand outs. A match I watched early on in wrestling viewing and liked it, but now that I am more familiar with lucha, I LOVE it. Top 50 contender, easy!

Thirded... but I am pretty sure that the April '97 Cibenetico was 16 guys, including El Felino on the rudo side and El Dandy on the Technico side.
Apologies if I am getting things mixed up, and also I'll have to remove my "third" if this isn't the one where Felino overcomes a 5-1 disadvantage to earn one of the biggest wins and moments of his career.
Probably also the biggest moment of Kevin Quinn's career as well. Quite a claim to fame, I'd say.
The Cibernetico that Felino won, as I always call it, was absolutely Balls to the Wall for 45 minutes, starting out with 20 minutes of sublime lucha mat wrestling, and featuring an epic battle between Casas and Dandy that leads to both getting tossed and sets up the rudo Felino going on a big hero run that will shortly lead to him joining his brother on the technico side against heel Santo.
A superbly entertaining match. The time just flies by watching this one (if indeed this is the one I am thinking of. I watch this about once a year and enjoy it every time.

Felino winning is the one I am talking about.
