Rió Bravo, Tigre Cota, Tito Santana vs Argenis, Atomic Boy, Relampago – they clipped this up, but I guess I should be thrilled I got any Atomic Boy at all. Relampago or Argenis? I think I’m saying Relampago.

Amnesia, Black Abyss, Histeria III, Psicosis III vs Aerostar, Laredo Kid, Pimpinela Escarlata, Súper Fly – the booking of the Vipers as new act is as weird on TV as it seemed on the written results. This was basically a showcase match for the tecnicos, then the Vipers pulled out a win, then they immediately got cleared out by the Psycho Circus. Ultimately, this is probably the role Vipers 2.0 is going to settle at, but usually new groups get treated as a bigger deal on their debut and settle downward into their spot. Instead, these guys are directly in their final spot.

Expect four weekly mentions of how big Histeria from now until I get used to it (infinity.) Doesn’t really bug me as much with Psicosis though they’re not that different.

Extreme Tiger & Jack Evans vs Joe Lider & Nicho el Millionario – my problems with the Hermandad, in number bullet points!

1) double team moves are nice, but if you never ever win with double team moves, and you only do those double team moves during the portion of the match where you’re not even trying to win, why should I care about your double team moves?

2) Tirantes referees every La Hermanad match, which means there’s absolutely no point to anything that happens until the last minute of the match, where you find out of Hijo del Tirantes screws the tecnicos (who are always too dumb to figure this out), or another ref gets involved. At the same time, Tirantes never just helps the rudos from the get go, so they could win the match quicker and painlessly, he just waits 10 minutes for no particular reason. Everyone looks like an idiot and I like these people too much to think of them as idiots.

3) none of the finishes matter. If the Hermandad lose, they’ll never face that team, much less put up their tag team titles. If the Hermandad win, they’ll continue to face the same team anyway, and probably will end up defending the title against that team.

The match isn’t interesting, the match doesn’t matter, the outcome doesn’t matter, why should I care about their matches?

Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Chessman, Teddy Hart, Zorro – another Hijo de Tirantes match! It was OK.

Dr. Wagner Jr., Electroshock, Silver King vs Crazy Boy, El Mesías, La Parka Jr. – WagnerManiaocs actually working rudo, how odd. The whole Pimpi interference spot was oddly timed, and of course doesn’t make sense where thing are going on. Things change!
