Taka Michinoku and Aguila weren't exactly built for Vince McMahon's 'Grandest Stage' but the Light Heavyweights maximised their 5:57 for the benefit of the awestruck Boston faithful bearing witness to their literal flights of fancy.

As Attitude Era cult favourite Papi Chulo and later Essa Rios, Aguila carved out a bizarrely successful career considering the relative obscurity of the proto-Cruiserweight Division, but his masked persona afforded him his biggest ever moment working for Vince McMahon against pet project Michinoku.

It was a frustratingly satisfying showcase. Devoid of storyline but heightened by high spots, Taka could have had one of these per month and got the belt over rather than "amaericanising" himself alongside Bradshaw and The Headbangers.
