Accion
CMLL: The Dos/Lizmark/Metal vs Corleone/Stamboli/Kenzo match, of all things. I guess no one got hurt in that one. This match is oddly listed as for the NWA Middleweight title – not quite accurate. Jindrak has an awesome running down the ramp and leaaping over spot in here. It’s like his vertical leap was actually useful for once. Stamboli takes a good chokeslam from Lizmark. Dos got Jindrak – who has hair again – with a quick German for the win. I was thinking Stamboli and Jindrak were leaving money on the table by not having hair for Lizmark and Dos to eventually win, and maybe someone educated Mark?
AAA: Octagon vs Zumbido for the Middleweight Title. I didn’t complain about this as much as maybe should’ve when Octagon won the belt, but it’s quite the dumb idea and a complete waste of the tournament they ran to fill it. If Octaogn needs a token belt, remind him he’s tag champ. In the final sequence, Zumbido’s big slap got not-el Hijo de Tirantes. Zumbido went on to rollup Octagon, and Electroshock ran out to count – I have absolutely no clue why Electro would do that, but I guess we’re getting a Guapos/Vipers feud? Zumbido of course assumes that’s three, but everything gets sorted out – oh, Electro is making “I want the belt” motions, I guess that’s the explanation (though it still doesn’t make sense.) The match gets reset – so Zumbido wasn’t actually hurt by this turn of events – and Octagon got La Jarocha for the win.
