I forgot that CMLL refs just do whatever they want count wise.

I think my first exposure to Mistico was in 06 when he got I think #2 on the PWI 500.

So far in AEW, they've had the following company titles defended or featured: - AEW - ROH - AAA - CMLL - NWA - NJPW - Impact I can't remember a promotion that's done this, and also for good measure Mox showed up with the GCW world title at a PPV

It's insane how bad his WWE run was given what he's showing here. Dude is awesome.

This seems like a big time olive branch match for AEW and CMLL, giving them a f*** ton of time to show Mistico off

They tried to make him work a confined style he wasn't used to with zero developmental time... since time has passed, that mentality has disappeared, especially in AEW's style of matches but even in WWE as well with more luchadores coming in

I like that this isn't an AEW match between Rocky and Mistico, but a lucha libre match that just happens to be in an AEW ring.

That was amazing
They need to get Mistico back in for more matches

I love Lucha Libre rules and logic are for nerds.

Mistico looked better here than in his WWE run.

They usually had him out there with Chavo and even someone like him worked mostly in the US and couldn't exactly work CMLL type matches with him.

Stoke's body language is too funny I can't pay attention to Jay Lethal while Stokely's going on a face journey listening to this

I like that this isn't an AEW match between Rocky and Mistico, but a lucha libre match that just happens to be in an AEW ring. That's how you make this stuff feel unique, for sure. Maybe the stakes of this title the audience hasn't seen before aren't too heavy, but it's fresh and different in ways that still make it a fun attraction.

But sometimes people just aren't good fits with a company (see also Toni with WWE)
