2. Máscara Dorada vs. Templario - CMLL Super Viernes - 5 Stars
Dave Meltzer wasted no time in dishing out another five-star rating, awarding Mascara Dorada vs. Templario from the January 5 Friday night CMLL pay-per-view five stars.
Meltzer wrote about the match in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter: "I thought the 1/5 Mascara Dorada vs. Templario 2/3 fall match was *****. It had the great heat, cool moves, great near falls and the crowd exploded for the shooting star press third fall finish like it was a world title change even though it was a non-stip match with no title at stake. They went 21:18 with Templario winning the first fall via submission and Dorada the second via pin. The one thing with Dorada is that even though he’s the young guy getting the big push and is beating established veterans, which is good for business because in theory you get new fans in, with the older regulars there is usually resentment."
