Women’s match was the inverse of last week’s. It got better as it went along. I’m hoping Amapola goes for no big boots today, because Diana’s really confused on how to take them. Poly Star was just there.
There seemed to be dozens of “Amapola grab Diana’s hair” spots during the match, which makes sense for the feud. The finishes didn’t – Diana got the best of Amapola to end the first fall, Amapola got Diana with a big move in the second fall and Diana kicked out and pinned Amapola completely clean, Diana was on the way to winning the match clean, and then Amapola comes back for the cheap DQ. They’ve built this like Amapola has no shot of actually winning, because she hasn’t won at all in the buildup.
If this was the start of a big push for Diana, and she’d be springboarded into a feud with the ruda champion after running thru Amapola, I could see it. But both the champs are women; Diana’s going to be the same 3rd or 4th best tecnica after the match, same as she was before it.
Main event was one of the same type of High Society matches we’ve seen of them for a while, but one of the better executed ones. It’d be nice if they got something to do.
Arena Mexico didn’t air on FSE, right? The last Friday Arena Mexico main event not to air (excluding Best Of weeks) was last June 23rd, Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Lizmark Jr. DQ Héctor Garza, Kenzo Suzuki, LA Park
