Arena Mexico, 05/21/2010

Eléctrico vs Pierrothito in a lightning match: I write the same thing in the recap, but I might as well repeat it here: Electrico is really athletic, but he has problems making it look like a fight and not just an exhibition of flips he can do. Not everything is as bad as the flip he took off the apron but it’s his clearest place to improve. Maybe all these matches with Pierrothtio will help. Maybe not this particular style of match; I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that the lighting matches (and the ones with the women and minis in particular) are run thru a few times during the week leading up and that’s why some look more choreographed than usual.

Astro Boy, Guerrero Maya Jr., Sensei vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Hooligan, Skándalo: Best Astro Boy match I’ve seen in a while! (I haven’t seen much Astro Boy lately.) Unfortunate for Maya that he seems to be lumped in with the crew who usually loses to the Tuareg instead of the crew who usually beats the Tuareg.
