recap

Bam Bam, Fantasy, Shockercito vs Mercurio, Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Olímpico:  Bored by this. There are interesting técnicos in the minis division, but it takes the right group of rudos to bring it out. Or, otherwise, Mini Olímpico is a drag on matches and Mini Olímpico is everywhere. Except, I guess he wasn’t in the finish, and looked all messed up. A disappointing outcome.

Cancerbero, Euforia, Raziel, Virus vs Arkángel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Nitro, Skándalo in a cibernetico match: This match redeemed the whole feud! Most of the match was good, and the run right after everyone was in for the first time was a load of fun. Tuareg turned it up, but we also got the full Cancerbero destruction machine. Raziel & Cancerbero breaking out técnico bits was cool, and the reoccurring random mask Euforia untying paid off in the end. Loco definitely is growing his hair out.

Máximo, Metro, Super Porky vs Felino, Kraneo, Psicosis: A Super Porky match. Everyone got to amuse the crowd, and the there was a finish. Metro managed not to injury anyone this week, a marked improvement!

Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas, Volador Jr. vs Blue Panther, La Máscara, La Sombra: Surprisingly good match. I thought this would be a low speed Negro/Panther brawl with everyone else walking thru it, but it turned out to be a pretty intense and high speed encounter. There were Panther/Negro sections that I liked better than the lighting match (and Panther’s tendency not to sell works better in a trios match.) The other guys all looked great and played off each other in good combinations. Not enough Zach, but there’s never enough Zach.
