Episode from 02/12 – look, I’m nearly out of winter!
Mr. Mexico makes great faces and Loco Max is underrated and Alan Stone is perfectly fine and Zumbido sure seems like an interesting person in many ways…but looking back at it now, that’s a weird tag feud to pull out of the midcard.
Maybe I’m just over thinking this, and it was just a case of picking two tecnicos they liked and coming up with something that’d let them guage the public’s reaction to them.
There are plenty of guys who never really get chances, but Zumbido isn’t in that category. Obviously there are the personal problems I’m skirting around, but when given a chance by his promotion, he couldn’t make it work – this match was okay but the not the kinda eyeball grabbing special you need to get over in his slot, and the Super Crazy/Zumbido match (which I’ll get to in a few days) wasn’t really memorable besides the Super Crazy stage moonsault. Maybe he needed a big trios match? The Mexican Title ones weren’t bad.
The Blue Panther/Black Tiger match felt similiar to the Dr. Wagner/Universo match, and that’s such a “duh” comment I should’ve skipped it.
Either I’ll post a recap earlier tommorow, or I’ll do a double shot for Sunday. We’ll see!

2) Cerebro Negro & Mensajero de la Muerte b Doctor Kalini & Aquiles

Before the match, Tigre thanked the ringside doctor, the promoter, and the fans for the help and attention he got when he was injuried last month.
4) Negro Casas & Felino DQ Halloween & Damien
Damien low blowed Negro, but the ref saw it.
Elsewhere, there’s an Arena Mexico preview, and brief bit about the AAA show in Nicaragua. No specifics there, except for a list of wrestlers used. Next Friday, AAA is in Puebla with a double main event of Shocker vs La Parka II vs Cibernetico and Zorro putting both titles up (though Ovaciones disagrees with about what titles they are) against Charly Manson.
Should be another recap up tonight and I’ll see if I can track down the G1 winner.
