Synopsis:

The main event of the final night of the 2015 FantastiaMania tour was this high flying showcase match. Like many lucha in Japan matches, this one focuses on big time high spots more than anything else. Sombra and Dorada roll out impressive move after impressive move, which the Korakuen Hall crowd eats up. This match won’t be for everyone, but was the exact right match for its audience and circumstances. Dorada – who was announced pre-match has having signed a one-year contract with NJPW – is the star as he pulls off almost a dozen highlight reel moves.

Synopsis:

La Sombra and Dragon were frequent opponents during the first half of the 2010’s. This was their final singles match versus one another and some consider it their best. The third fall is where 95% of the action is (even more so then in the average match). The final fall is all about near falls. La Sombra and Dragon Rojo keep kicking out and keeping surviving until they work the Arena Coliseo crowd into a veritable frenzy. So much of the match’s value is tied into the late match offense and kick outs so how you feel about this match depends on how you feel about that stuff.
