Good match to start off. The spots where Hamada runs around dominating the rudos with his speed and finesse are fun and the Perro/Hamada dynamic that develops is awesome -- Hamada posting Perro in revenge and Perro spilling into the crowd is especially great as is a Hamada headbutt barage on Perro that shortly follows. Ending is good, coming off a heated exchange from Perro and Hamada and Perro having to be forced off Hamada post-match.
Sayama's finish on the first fall is weird but also sort of amusing in a way as he keeps trying for different things, either chaning or botching them and you wonder wtf he's trying to end up with. Perro getting trapped in a submission and screaming "Baby, Baby, Baby!" for help is also an amusing detail.

This match piqued my interest on the listings and it was a total blast. Pre-match stuff is great from Andre giving us wise words to live by in his promo, a brash Sangre Chicana posturing in front of Andre and apparently a fight breaking out in the crowd. Match is all about Andre's giant spots and they're great. The rudos stooge well for him, especially Chicana, and they're like a swarm of insects trying to all get at him at once. Andre brandishing Cien Caras as a weapon is hilarious. I agree that this went too long and some of the schtick was overused but this was a really awesome old school wrestling spectacle.
