Aereo, Pequeño Halcón, Último Dragoncito vs Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Olímpico, Pequeño Universo 2000: Brief, with limited Ultimo Dragoncito. It’s better for the long term that Halcón and Aereo get the chances (and get to learn from their mistakes), but it did not make for the most interesting match here. Dragoncito did look good in the time he was in. Aereo looks capable of doing some cool things and messing up other cool things.
Dragon Lee, Rey Cometa, Sagrado vs Namajague, Shigeo Okumura, Virus: Okay match. Could’ve been better with someone better than Dragon Lee was the first couple of falls. Every time Dragon Lee is on TV, it’s just a reminder that any CMLL talk about not wanting guys who just do high spots is junk. Dragon lee is nothing but the occasional flashy high spot and a lot of sub par indy work, and gets pushed strong for it. Rudos didn’t do much notable with the extra time, but every one was competent.
Blue Panther, Máximo, Valiente vs Averno, Felino, Niebla Roja: One of those Averno/Blue Panther trios where they just crack the mold and do something completely different. This one was going along really good until Felino got hurt in the third fall, and it seemed like they were trying to work around his injury the rest of the way. Valiente looked really good. Niebla Roja looks like he’s not quite on this level yet, but promising.
Marco Corleone, Máscara Dorada, Rush vs Psicosis, Rey Bucanero, Terrible: Mascara Dorada & Psicosis did a lot of mask ripping for a title match. They did have the clean finish, but this seemed more like a personal issue than the usual title challenge. It didn’t feel that strong of one either way, but the match should be good. This match was OK.
