The two WWE stars put on an instant classic on SmackDown this week, much to the excitement of fans in the arena. After a brilliant exchange of spectacular moves, El Idolo finally emerged victorious after pinning his opponent.
This week on Smack Talk, Mantell praised WWE for setting up this match. He felt the two men had great chemistry and timing in the ring. The veteran stated that a TV match doesn't get better than this encounter.
"They [Andrade and Carmelo Hayes] had great chemistry and good timing. They didn't rush it; they told a story, and I really liked this match. They did it well. I don't think you can do a TV match better than that. You might do one as good. But this was textbook, and they did a great job," he said. [From 39:05 onwards]
Mantell also heaped praise on the two stars for putting on a great show. In fact, he was impressed by Andrade's double Moonsault during the matchup.
It will be interesting to see if these two stars break into the upper echelon of talent in the coming weeks.
