La Vaquerita, Lluvia, Princesa Sugehit vs Dalys, La Seductora, Tiffany: This was no good. Seductora really struggled. The tag match should be good because of the other three, but that’s going to be hard if Seductora can’t remember which way to fall down on a hair pull. Do we have any idea why Dalys is cosplaying as a ThunderCat now? Is there some rule that CMLL must have one ThunderCat at all times and someone had to pick up the slack for Leono? Lluvia’s outfit really clashed with the mat color, but it’s tough guess what the mat color is going to be from day to day. These are the ideas I was more concerned about than this match.
Atlantis, Titán, Valiente vs Gran Guerrero, Niebla Roja, Último Guerrero: Another Atlantis/UG match – this wasn’t a great idea to watch right after 52MX. Another bit with Gran Guerrero causing Atlantis to lose too, although this was more of a straight switch. (Unsure how Tirantes missed the guy in the ring having “GG” instead of “UG” down the side of his gear.) Gran Guerrero wasn’t so great most of the match but did a good job taking Titan’s headscissors. Valiente had a strong tope and good sequence for when he was in, but this was mostly the Guerreros taking it to Atlantis again.
La Máscara, La Sombra, Rush vs Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas, Shocker: Good brawl for the parts where it’s a brawl. They’ve arrived to the point where the Indeseables are no longer goofing around and veterans have a very limited chance of beating them – it’s more about the Indeseables beating themselves. Or, if that wasn’t meant to be the case, perhaps they should’ve left in the comeback spots instead of just coming back from break with the Peste Negra team randomly in control. The Casas/Rush bits were a good preview for that, the Shocker/Sombra were not – Shocker seemed lost or confused when they want for the near fall right prior to the finish. The Mascara/Niebla stuff was timed well, but I’m really interested in seeing what the other four can do without the intermission. Glad they left in the Indeseables and their entrance. Mascara really needs to get a black mask for this gimmick, but his ring announcing was good.
