Finals: Frightmare vs. Lince Dorado
Terrific match. One of the best storytelling pieces I’ve seen in a long time. Dorado is a dick. Frightmare is THE perfect underdog. Sabato is a rigged cocksucking ref. Poor Frightmare goes against all odds. The whole match is awesome. Workovers. Comebacks. Screw attempts. Frantic climax. This was amazing. How and why are these guys not all over WWE and TNA is beyond me…

Manami Toyota & Mike Quackenbush vs. Sara Del Rey & Claudio Castagnoli
Very good dream match, but some solid botches bothered me, and they almost went into overkill. I can’t go four stars on this, unfortunately. There were few breathtaking transitions and moves, though, awesome stuff.

So many backstories and callbacks in this match. Everything was easy to follow, even though I didn’t know all the stories, but the commentators did a tremendous job in calling the action and explaining the history. Damn good match, not a single dull moment.

Campeonatos de Parejas: Claudio Castagnoli & Ares © vs. QuackSaw
The main event of the Season Finale. Fantastic tag title match. This is how you book a big blow-off. Excellent storytelling all around: Kingston prevents Delirious to make the pre-match attack on the challengers, the officiating stuff with Bryce and Sabato, great selling from EVERYONE involved, not just from wrestlers, etc. The title change felt huge, the big and evil group of villains is finally conquered, and two babyface heroes are new tag champs. This was almost perfect.
****3/4
Well, this was quite a trip. Great compilation, there’s something for everyone. The big majority of the matches were good, with six of those being fantastic, especially the last one. However, I don’t understand why the matches under 4, 5, 6 and 22 made this compilation. Nothing but three mediocre contests and a DUD. Instead of those, they could’ve put Kingston’s bouts with Danielson and Daniels. There was too much of STIGMA and Equinox. Equinox is borderline terrible. On the other hand, Incoherence, Die BDK and Quack fucking rule.
