recap

taped 2012-07-08 @ Arena Coliseo

Pegasso vs Raziel in a lightning match: This was, by the standards of the two people involved, horrible. This was about at the level of the match you’d expect if you put two of the lesser luchadors in the group in a singles match, and these are not two of the lesser luchadors. I’m tempted to blame Pegasso because he was slow and off this match, but this was a team effort (including the team that decided this was good to air.) This was a match where narrowing down the botch to include in gif form was really tough.

Ángel de Oro, Delta, Hijo del Fantasma vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto: a lacking match for the first couple falls, outside of the big dive bit. Picked up when the técnicos go to do all their offense but not enough to make this interesting. At least they had a decent story between the last two falls.

Mr. Niebla, Último Guerrero, Volador Jr. vs La Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Shocker: Random argument leads to random match. The crowd cared about Volador vs Niebla, but that’s because they already care about Volador and Niebla. Match had the usual rudo bumbling but suddenly it was meaningful. Eh.
