Not a good day for the wrestlers actually remembering how the fall is supposed to end, though I’m 99.999999% sure Universo was supposed to be captain of the main event and someone on the TV side had bad info. They can’t be producing the show totally live – they’ve got to dub over the entrance music at the least – so you think they could’ve corrected the captain after the fact.
I’m not sure if I was too hard on the opener. The end second fall of the second fall was bad in execution, but the rest just didn’t grab me. It felt like the second of four matches they were doing on the day, and they wanted to hit their beats as efficiently as possible and jump in the truck to get to the next show.
Nosferatu was clipped here, and I’m not sure it’s just because his sequence was first and they’re just clipping from the start of the first fall to fit everything together or if it was actively bad. It doesn’t help that the same exact thing happened on the CAN52 show, with the same questionable result.
The main event revenge trios match was better than the previous. Corelone did manage to vary thing up a bit, which was nice. Dos didn’t blow a dive, and the German suplex looked pretty good. In a perfect world, they find Dos another strength spot, dump the press (because he never drops the guy, it doesn’t make any sense) and he just uses the German suplex as his finisher. It never looks as good when he has to hold the guy over his head first.
You can tell this is the week where they stopped caring about Bucanero’s anniversary show. No one brought it up.
