taped @ Arena Coliseo, 03/06/2011
recap: here
Video is from LuchaLibreDeMexico in six parts: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Delta, Fuego, Sagrado vs Pólvora, Shigeo Okumura, Yoshihashi: Sagrado & Okumura are legit feuding! Serves me right for doubting CMLL on this one. I have no idea where they could go with it – they have no titles, an apuesta match between them is bigger than they do at Fan Appreciation shows but not near big enough for a major show – but it is the sort of match one of them should win to give them a bit of credibility for later on. Yoshihashi has progressed from being entertainingly poor to boringly okay. Kind of sad. I tend to think the NJPW fans are going to be content with him when he returns (which should be only a couple months away, since he came here in June.) I would like to see him in a singles match before he goes, just to see.
La Máscara, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto for the CMLL World Trios Championship: The strong match you’d expect it to be, and one they’ve done a few times. Match of the Week, though it missed a little bit of epicness to make it MOTYC. (The rudos actually foiling The Star spot makes me waver on this.) Sombra is obviously dealing with an elbow injury – they never bother to work an injury unless he’s actually hurt, weirdly – but it doesn’t seem to be hurting his performance at all. Strong job of setting up next week’s title match too.
