GdR #37

taped 07/30, aired 08/05

Just okay; fair enough women’s trios [1], and the main event was a fine 8 minute encounter, but it was an 8 minute match. [2]

For the lack of anytime better to state the obvious, I’ll do it here: while I’m looking forward to India Sioux vs Medusa from a rooting interest [3], I’m completely uncertain about it as a wrestling contest. I believe we’ll one day have “India Sioux, pretty good worker”, but that day has yet to arrive [4]. In the little we’ve seen of Medusa [5], she hasn’t shown that sort of potential, and the two don’t seem to have any special chemistry to carry them thru a singles encounter.

On paper, India Sioux vs Medusa is the most worriesome singles match CMLL’s thrown out in this [6] run of women’s wrestling, and it has a chance of being distressingly bad. I’m gonna to cling to the ideas of them having a week [7] to work on the match, and that we were similiarly worried about Marcela vs Hiroka and a miracle happened.

(notes)
1 – though they’ve had better
2 – you may note that’s less than women got
3 – and I’ll try to play it down from here on out, because that sort of thing comes off as seriously creepy on the internet
4 – and given her level of experience, shouldn’t be expected soon.
5 – though you could see much more than you wanted to here
6 – now year+!
7 – or more; they’ve been setting up this match for a month, or whenever the Fox Sports Espanol deal was signed
