Santito vs Espanto Jr from 88 is one of my absolute favourite matches ever, everything good about lucha libre at maximum and in one match. To me is even better than their mask match from 1986.
The WM XX main event has this "underdog finally getting what he deserves" feeling and they work everything towards it, but the ringwork itself isn't as special as any other good to great triple threat match.

Give me Santo vs Espanto this one. While The Mania XX main event was very good, it is more of an elite moment than it is truly elite match. And unfortunate, a lot of the shine is off that moment in hindsight. It was worked really well for a triple threat match, but I suspect Benoit vs either HBK or HHH one on one might have yielded something closer to a true classic. This is something I simply consider very very good to great and not elite.
Santo vs Espanto on the other hand.... Is great and on the verge of elite. If this were the 86 match I might be offended by the question haha. This is good. Lots of hate, great chemistry. They were a really great pairing.

Santo/Espanto pretty easily for me. I don't think the triple threat is any good, whereas Santo/Espanto is another cracking version of one of the best match-ups in wrestling history. An outstanding title match.

Santo/Espanto but it's relatively close for me. The WM20 main event is not a classic and doesn't age too well for obvious reasons but is still really good and is one of the better constructed triple threat matches I've seen.

I still like the WM20 main event but this should not have even been close. Santo/Espanto almost made my Top 100 upon rewatch.
