Arez holds his own in the nonstop spotfest matches, but where he really shines is when he gets to do holds and matwork. Sometimes he has these wild segments where he and his opponent are reversing and getting out of holds at a really fast pace, but even when he slows it down it is still great. A really versatile wrestler with 2 standout matches so far this year. I wish he got more opportunities for big matches as he always delivers really well built and smart matches. He does not have a lot out there, but what is out there is enough for him to make the top half of my list.
PROMOTION NAME | NAME OF SHOW | DATE OF SHOW | MATCH | NOTES | RATING | LINK |
Mexa Wrestling | Arena San Juan Pantitlan | 1/27/2018 | Trauma I, Trauma II vs. Eterno, Arez | 2 giant, glaring horrendous flaws in this match, but everything is fantastic so I can overlook those. Arez seems to legitimately hurt his knee, with a doctor coming in to check it, but then is working like nothing happened? And to make it worse, he is noticeably limping at times, so why not sell the knee actually? Oh well. There is also a canadian destroyer spot which kills the crowd. ASIDE FROM THAT, this is great. Eterno can hold his own but the Traumas just out-muscle and bully around Arez, with him bumping like a mad man and hitting great hope spots. The Eterno's fall is neat with Trauma I teasing doing the Styles Clash but then switching to a Gory Especial, showing his skill over Eterno's. Great stuff, just with two horrible parts added. | 4 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3sNQRWrpEI&index=14&list=WL |

LLB | Arena Naucalpan | 5/2/2018 | Emperador Azteca, Golden Magic, Eterno vs. Arez, Belial, Impulso | Fun, if nothing groundbreaking. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN7Wax8xRZI |
AAA | Plaza de Toros la Monumental | 6/3/2018 | Arkangel Divino, Dinistia, Hijo del Vikingo, Starfire vs. Arez, Belial, Lady Maravilla, Ultimo Maldito | If you're watching these wild AAA openers this is another one to watch for sure. Wild dives but really Arez looks GREAT in the begining doing his super fast mat stuff with Vikingo. | 4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1Hxn6Z8HuM |
Mexa Wrestling | Arena San Juan Pantitlan | 6/9/2018 | Latigo vs. Arez | Great match with these two reversing matwork and moving at such a fast pace exchanging and blocking holds. The dives take a little too long to set up, but everything in the ring is great with a great pace. | 4 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_woF8jh9Q4 |
TOVAR | Arena Lopez Mateos | 6/30/2018 | Arez vs. Belial vs. Impulso | I was gonna say this is not as wild as their apuestas match last year as they start doing more triple-threat holds/workrate stuff, and it's good, but then they change their mind and just start beating the hell out of each other and getting those particle boards and stuff. Good match. | 4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYIe4nXPm3c&feature=youtu.be |
RO | Salon Citlali | 7/14/2018 | Eterno vs. Arez | Starts off with some really great matwork. Ends up more indie style big moves stuff, which is fine, but not as great as the matwork. | 3 3/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6uNshF8MzM&feature=youtu.be |
LLB, NOBA, TWE | Arena Lopez Mateos | 7/21/2018 | Arez, Belial, Impulso vs. Eterno, Freelance, Mike Segura | This is fun. They mess some stuff up but other stuff looks really good. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdzzFmr2KAs&feature=youtu.be |
Impact | Mexico City | 9/13/2018 | Aramis, Dragon Bane, Starfire vs. Arez, Latigo, Chik Tormenta | 3 3/4 |
