recap
Astral, Fantasy, Shockercito vs Demus 3:16, Pequeño Universo 2000, Pequeño Warrior: Not a lot to this one; not a lot of time and the shallow end of the minis roster.
Virus vs Fuego, Metal Blanco, Tiger Kid, Dragon Lee, Sensei, Super Halcon Jr., Pegasso in a CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship cibernetico semifinal match: Good match. I think I liked last week’s better, but this was pretty strong too. I could go for a longer Fuego/Virus match someday. Nice to see Tiger Kid in this mix, feels like he’s disappeared a bit due to the Forjando un Idolo stuff.
Sagrado, Sangre Azteca, Stuka Jr. vs Shigeo Okumura, Vangelis, Yoshihashi: expected better, not really a lot here, a match to do a match. I think I’d like Vangelis better if he didn’t have fans who bring posters with swastikas on them to support him. Maybe.
Máximo, Rush, Super Porky vs Héctor Garza, Psicosis, Volador Jr.: What made it thru the copious edits was not worth seeking out. Surprising finish.

Wrong date?
@Rob: LATV date, not C3 date.
Probably should just pick the C3 one, the more I think about it. LATV isn’t going to be consistent.
What happened to Demus’ promotion to the main roster?
@Travis: He lost a “losers becomes a mini (again)” match against Virus in March.
“I think I’d like Vangelis better if he didn’t have fans who bring posters with swastikas on them to support him. Maybe.”
Talk to this man, Alan. Make him see the light.
@Rob: When I first read this post, I was tempted to make the “if our Jewish Canadian friend can cheer for the Mexican Nazi, maybe we all need to quit hating on him just because he is a Nazi” argument. But, then I realized that I was going to be making an argument that involved the words “just because he is a Nazi” and decided against it.
