Yea, not 19 minutes. Drop the 1 and you’re on target. It wasn’t as great as the last one with some of these guys, but it was still far more interesting the run of the mill stuff. They’re raw but fun.
It was a nice tease of an Arkangel/Valiente feud, but it was more just something to do in a segunda match.
Main event was A MATCH, in fact. Just the usual.
This is a show from months ago, but it’s just a couple replacements with a show they’d be thrilled with running today – mostly because it’d have Perro and Mistico healthy at the same moment. That doesn’t turn it into anything worth of note.
Off the top of my head…
CMLL Tall Wrestlers, worst to best
Eclipe
Canek Jr.
Lizmark Jr.
Universo 2000 (who appears to be a MIA after the title feud, and hasn’t been in Arena Mexico since April)
Dos Caras Jr.
I’m sure I’m forgetting someone. Having just said given up all hope on Dos Caras Jr. and then placing him first is kinda sad.
Perro/FDT vs Mistico is the same Perros/FDT vs Mistico match they’ve done many many times. It seemed fresher because I hadn’t seen it for a while, but I think I can call the match in my sleep at this point. Only the finish changes, and it’s not as though they were even polishing the same sequences. (Make a note of this paragraph.)
