GdR #22, Gala #203, Gala #204

I don’t know why, but I feel compelled to post this in bunches. So that’s what I’m doing.

GdR #22 (04/22/06): This was nothing worth talking about.

CMLL #203 (02/04/06 GALA, 07/29/05 Mexico): This was the better cibernetico of the two, I thought. La Mascara is growing on me – he STILL needs a better name and he’s skipping in line ahead of other people who have waited longer and have earned it more, but I’ve got no problem with the things he’s actually in control of.

It’s interesting to see the progression in ideas for the women’s division

take 1: Lady Apache & Marcela vs Amapola & Dark Angel
(Lady Apache leaves)
take 2: La Nazi as a monster ruda vs Princesa Sujei
(this seemed to come out of left field, but GALA skips around enough, maybe I missed it)
take 3: Dark Angel vs Amapola

They must’ve had some idea they were going that way by Take 2, because the obvious thing would’ve been to put the foreigner Dark Angel on the (more) ruda side and they avoided it.

I wonder what the deal was with the Atlantis/Rey teased program was? They couldn’t have just been setting it up for Guadalajara, could they? Maybe they were thinking of it as an alternate to the Wagner/Atlantis mask match, but not for long before they caved in and turned Atlantis.

CMLL #204 (02/11/06 GALA, 08/05/05 Mexico): Me being me, I was focused on Tarzan during the beatdown, and I think his bit here was just being a third wheel to fill out the side. PdM didn’t tell him what was up or take it easy on him before the turn, but everyone likes beating up Pierroth, so he can understand. He’s not part of the group at this time – they would’ve told him about the turn if he was! – but he wasn’t angry about the turn either.

(Equally or more likely, they really didn’t tell him what to do. But let’s pretend!)

There was no beatdown in the Casas/GdI match! That completely threw me off guard. I would’ve prefered the long mat time going to Ultimo vs Felino or Ultimo vs Negro, but I’m not going to complain.
