– Delta, Leono, Metatrón vs Apocalipsis, Durango Kid, Inquisidor: I think I spent the whole first draft of the recap crossing up Delta and Metatron and didn’t even realize it until Robert pointed out Delta was the one with the nice Asai Moonsault. Think it’s correct, but if it’s not

Delta: good!
Metatron: not really
Leono: Leono. Also, I’m giving into Guerreros del Ring and changing his start date to 1998 (as soon as I remember this.)

Even though I was not really impressed by Metatron, I like the idea of bringing Puebla/GDL vets to DF and giving them a TV match, even if there’s no plan at the time to use them full time. It’s a nice reward for sticking it out, like traveling to Europe is for the main roster. (Though it does look Metatron is sticking around and not just making a cameo.)

– Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara, Sagrado vs Averno, Mephisto, Negro Casas: This was fine, but nothing nearly as interesting. A usual Sunday semifinal.
