Rewatching this and man every time I watch this it just gets better and better. Part of me wishes these 2 had a million matches together but at the same time I know they would never be able to recreate the magic that they had during this match. Truly a top 10 contender for me.

I don't get such high praise. Obviously the match is good and I love the violence in it, the overall atmosphere is really coola, but there's a lot of better brawls out there. Here they just take turns to hit each other, with plenty awkward moments when they stand there doing nothing for a couple of seconds, just waiting for the oponent to hit back. Yeah, that's current wrestling in a nutshell, and at least here everything flows a bit more naturally than in others "you hit me, I hit you" matches, but still, not enough for top 100 consideration in my eyes.
Also, does the match just ends after brawling outside? The fans are chanting for "una caída más" (one more fall), the ring announcer even says so, they come back to the ring with the ref ready to restart it, they seem to grab chairs in order to hit each other once the fall starts... And the footage just ends? Did the match really end or not?
Confusion aside, it's still super fun, and proof that pro wrestling magic can happen in big stadiums or backyards, in front of thousands or docens of people, between old guys or young guys, It doesn't matter. When two bastards go out there to fight, nothing else matters.
I respect this match more than I like it (and I really like it), but yeah, not a chance for a top 100.
