Admit it: When was the last time you saw two men doing headstands and slapping each other in the face?

Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo started out their match against each other in that manner, with a unique slapfest in the center of the ring. The match sped up, with both men trading kicks hitting each other with some nice offense. They brawled on the apron for a while, chopping and kicking at each other. Carrillo nailed a running Spanish Fly, so Garza upped it with an avalanche Spanish Fly.

At the end, they traded rollup attempts, with Garza sitting down as Humberto tried to roll through and getting the 3 count. It was a nice first one-on-one match on Raw between the two, and the fans were into it, so you really can’t ask for much more.
