This minis match was definitely a step above the previous one. The rudos jumping the tecnios to start the match worked especially well, because Mini Damian and Mini Halloween are great at killing people. At this point in the minis battles, I think you want them controlling most of the action, and the tecnicitos making sudden comebacks with quick moves, like what happened here. Dorada still seems to be a little off with his opponents on his tricker moves, but I have high hopes for the title match (and hopes GdR grabs it somehow.)

In the third fall, Valiente took out Olimpico with the Valiente Special (his dive), Shocker took out Atlantis and Mistico was left alone with Averno. Mistico is back to consistently winning those, and challenged for a shot either of Averno’s titles. Sounds familiar.

Zamora Bone @ el Martinete says an (unnamed) TV show says Latin Lover is upset with AAA for no paying royalities on his merchandise. AAA (in the form of Octagon) says Latin’s stuff is just not selling since he’s not wrestling any more. I find that a bit hard to believe, since it’s not like Latin’s gone into hiding.
