Cavernario is having a really good year as an athletic rudo that can keep up with the tecnicos. He's had 3 great singles matches (the 2 vs. Soberano and the 1 vs. Fenix) and is always really solid in trios. If/when he makes a Matt Taven match interesting he might even get in the top 10 on my list. He is a great base for the offense of Soberano (in the 2nd match moreso than the 1st) and Fenix but also has flashy enough moves to not get completely overwhelmed in these types of matches. The timing of the comeback in the 1st Soberano match is perfect, too. He's solid all around and seems to always deliver when given the opportunity. There are always 2-4 Cavernario matches that are really good that I don't get around to watching until months later, so what are they this year?

CMLL | Arena Guadalajara | 7/10/18 | Soberano vs. Barbaro Cavernario | More modern type of title match, which means it's big moves back and forth, and really "big moves back and forth" is all Soberano has, but his moves look fantastic especially against Cavernario. | 4 | youtu.be/-L0WQ5wroyQ |
