Espectrito vs Mascarita Sagrada (AAA - 3/12/1994)
Incredible mini's match that deserves strong consideration. This has long been considered a classic and when I rewatched it recently I thought it held up great.The mat work and submissions were cool the dives were beautiful and they took some enormous bumps. Classic match that deserves to be looked at considered alongside the best matches anywhere in the world at the time.

Second
I cosign everything above. I actually think this has a really really good chance of making my list. It is the most fluid, pretty match I have ever seen I think. Its absolutely BONKERS what they are able to do in this one. This is one of the most impressive matches I have ever seen.

Yes. My favorite lucha singles match of '94 which is saying something because that year also had the El Dandy/Jaiver Llanes title match, Blue Panther/Solar title match and Ciclon Ramirez/Javier Cruz hair match. It is also (alongside Damiancito/Ciclonito from January '97) one of the two best minis matches of all-time, but it stands on its own without that qualification. Great match work, great pacing, good hear and great execution of some difficult spots. The spot near the end of the match where Mascara Sagrada tackles Espectrito to save Mascarita from the double team is an all-time classic spot.

1994-03-12 Espectrito I vs. Mascarita Sagrada [IWC World Minis Championship] (AAA @ Los Angeles Sports Arena in Los Angeles, CA)
This is the best match involving wrestlers who are under 5’ tall. Matches involving minis/midgets/little people have traditionally been just side show attractions in pro wrestling history. That’s just how the wrestling business works and how people view this “genre” of minis wrestling in general, even though in Mexico the minis are seemingly more respected than anywhere else in the world. However, this match was truly a great wrestling match, regardless of the size of the participants. Espectrito gave a strong performance and showed how well he was able to build a match. Mascarita Sagrada played his role very well and added to the greatness to the match. There is a certainly a chance this will end up in my top 100 Greatest Matches Ever.

This match contains a few spots that made me say wow; there was a great build throughout the match, impeccable matwork and timing, and big tome heat at the end.

I votes this at #78 this year.
Super fun minis match between two talented performers. The face/heel divide here comes through so strongly: Mascarita Sagrada is undersized even for the minis division which makes him a natural underdog and and great babyface offense utilising his speed and athleticism. Epsectrito is wonderful both as a base for Sagrada's high flying but also with his character work as a total jerk heel, unashamedly cheating and bullying his smaller opponent.
Match also features a strong contender for best "babyface is about to be double teamed but the tables are turned on the heels at the last moment" spots ever.
