recap

Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Metro vs Shigeo Okumura, Vangelis, Yoshihashi: A usual match with this técnico crew, picking up nicely during the third fall. The Metro vs Maya/Delta bit was completely ignored until the finish, but they did strongly focus on it when they got there. The Axis Powers rudos were in the right places at the right time, but seem a bit beneath where these técnicos ought to be, especially if they’re teaming with Shocker & Atlantis.

Jushin Lyger vs Dragón Rojo Jr. for the CMLL World Middleweight Championship: Match wasn’t really much good. Not even really blaming the participants here; match felt like it ended four minutes early to get in the low blow spot. It was well done, but the final fall was lacking any serious drama, and the ending made this seem like a setup to more UG/Atlantis than anything to do with these guys. The match was a strict adherence to the usual formula, which seemed to work well for the first two falls and not so much in the third fall. Neither guy looked exemplary here, but this felt more like a wasted opportunity than guys not being up to the challenge.
