taped 2011-11-04 @ Arena Mexico
a notable main event, for sure
Ángel de Oro, Blue Panther, Metro vs Negro Casas, Pólvora, Rey Escorpion: reversal on the usual Panther/Negro fight, with Panther and company working the first half of the match as complete rudos. It worked as a twist on their feud, though I’m not sure this was the greatest action they’ve had.
Máscara Dorada vs Mephisto for the CMLL World Welterweight Championship: Mascara Dorada reasserts his claim as the most insane high flyer in Mexico in one match. Guys like Fenix, Dragon Lee and Palacio Negro try crazy stuff in every match, but Dorada apparently was saving up his most ridiculous ideas for a big occasion. This was that, the usual CMLL singles match mixed in with some amazing bits. Mephisto was there to make sure nothing went too wrong, but this was as much a one man showcase as you’re going to get in a title match. The stuff he tried and got caught on were even more spectacular than the stuff that connected. Amazing performance, probably the signature Mascara Dorada match of his career so far, and one definitely worth seeking out. Among the best of the year, no doubt.
