Still one of the best high-fliers in the world today. While not quite on the level of their matches last year, Lee and Hiromu added two more awesome matches to what was already one of the greatest feuds of the 21st century. Combine that with a good run in BOSJ, great title matches against Cavernario, and some fun trios matches in CMLL, Dragon earns a spot in the top 20.

The Takahashi match was my favorite match of theirs outside of Mexico, and is my MOTY, and the Dragon Lee vs. Xtreme Tiger match is the same type of match. So, that counts for something. Looking at my list I have these Dragon Lee matches all rated very high. The Negro Casas match is only 2 minutes or so and is the semifinals of a tournament. I really loved that short, violent match but it "works" better when combined with the final match of the tournament. I also enjoyed the tags with Rush as he gets to play a cocky, amped up shit-starter who knows that his bigger, more violent brother has his back. I wish CMLL would do something interesting with him, as he could be one of the best in the world as either a rudo or tecnico if he was just given a minimal amount of direction.

| Lucha Estelar | Arena Azteca Budokan | 7/15/2017 | Rush, Dragon Lee, Septiembre Negro vs. Corsario Negro Jr., Drako, Ancla | Starts fun, sort of meanders for a bit, but then picks back up, especially the Rush singles segment. Happy to see the indie big boys making tape again and taking crazy dives (and making crazy dives). Rewatched later and I think these notes capture it, but I am going to rate it highter. Dragon Lee was great in this. | 4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GvYehyQ4nw&list=WL&index=32 | Super Astro | Arena Lopez Mateos | 7/29/2017 | LA Park, Hijo de LA Park vs. Dragon Lee, Rush | Super fun brawl which is exactly what you would expect. | 4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiyWS8v4mLc | Sanchez | Arena Neza | 9/2/2017 | Rush, Dragon Lee vs. LA Park, Hijo de LA Park | Not nearly as good as their last match, and mainly due to LA Park and Rush moving in slow motion or something. Their segments just felt plodding. Dragon Lee and HD LA Park were fun, though. | 3 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ4JTmgK7dQ&list=WL&index=47 |

Loved the sprint with Casas. Also had a really good Lightning match with Titan.
