Thoughts: It didn't look good on paper and it wasn't any better in reality. It was clunky and neither looked that good. It didn't get a ton of time either, though that's not a bad thing. The ending was stupid and a waste of a haircut for both guys.

Thoughts: The format for this whole thing was weird. The logic is that it's an honor to fight for your hair/mask on the big stage like this but it just seems like an unnecessary risk to me when you could just get eliminated early and keep it.

Val's old and Esf's a lot younger so Esf was my pick to win here. Val also has sons and daughters in CMLL so him losing the mask isn't as big of a deal. Val worked Esf's arm a bit to start this but then gave up on it. The match wasn't anything that great as there wasn't a great story and no real clear faces or heels. They didn't do anything too crazy or bleed or even really rip each others masks up which helps make matches feel bigger. 

Esf gets confetti and streamers after.

Val unmasks after and gives Esfinge his mask. Val looks really good for his age. Esf poses with Val's mask. Val gets on the mic and thanks the crowd. Val then punches out Esfinge and stomps him.

Overall thoughts: CMLL really stacked the card here and pulled out all the stops with 3 aspuesta's matches, title matches and a cup final. It was a good card overall. Mistico/MJF was the highlight here as Mistico bled buckets and they had a solid heel vs face match with Mist doing the flying and MJF using various shortcuts against him. The first two matches didn't hit for me. I liked the Neon trios match enough. The Copa Independencia match was fine. Rey/Felino wasn't good and had a stupid ending with both guys getting DQ'd and both guys losing their hair. MJF/Mistico delivered. The main wasn't great but it was acceptable and Valiente ended up losing his mask to finish the show. I'd give it a 7 out of 10 mostly for the presentation and for Mistico/MJF. Everyone tried hard and CMLL did what they could to make this feel like a big deal. I would recommend going out of your way to see Mistico/MJF just for the blood alone.
