Don't forget the Taker/Kane match

So I was flipping channels, and what do I come across? IWA (i think) (International Wrestling Alliance - Puerto Rico federation) or something like that. Puerto Rico for sure, and it definitely started with an I.

ANYWAY, saw a very nice match with Chris Sabin, some Diablo guy, and some PR guy named Blitz. It was a three-way TNA style X match, with the I** Lightweight World Title (literally) on the line. It was called by the english dubbed announcers as a "tightrope" match, where each ringpost had another structure behind it that rose about 10-12 feet above the mat. From the structure, an X was formed by 2 ropes.

The idea is to monkey the ropes to get the the title that is hanging at the cross in the ropes.

There were some nice spots, that revolved mainly around the various ways you can get someone to fall/drop/release from the ropes and land in a heap on the mat.

Funniest part of the match, purely unintentional though, was the Diablo guy going for a Rey Mysterio-esque West Coast Pop into a dropkick in an attempt to knock Blitz off the rope.

Attempt.

Diablo didn't get enough height or distance, and barely landed a quarter way across the ring. Luckily Chris Sabin was doing his thing (something Y2Jericho would do) and immediately sprung up from where he was selling an injury from a previous spot to tackle Blitz off the ropes. The match was saved, and continued on for a few more minutes.

Eventually Diablo and Sabin were kicking each other near the title whilst hanging from the ropes. Blitz was getting close, Diablo and Sabin both kick each other off, and Blitz snags the title.

All in all, a very good match, and Chris Sabin (who I finally get to see fight and know who he is) really did live up to a lot of the things I have heard of him.
