Rating: good

Review: [good] it’s about six months before the NJPW rookie goes back to Japan, which means he’s probably really good and I’m probably dreading losing him. This was that, with Kamaitachi looking like the best wrestler in the match and in several other matches for large portions of this one. The big showy stuff goes well, the small stuff like grinding his fist into Panther Jr.’s face is nice too. The Panther kept up with him well and the Tiger looked good too. Blue Panther Jr. did not look good.

Rating: below average

Review: [below average] Crowd was way into Porky from the start, so they shifted into a very easy Porky focused match. They seemed to get lost in the third fall, or Porky was just too tired to go on and they had to shift things around until he was ready to make the comeback. It’s not like he was doing a lot in there, just leaning on the ropes while Escorpion distracted the referee (who often did not seem to know he was being distracted.) Finish was not so good for all that time.

Arena Coliseo Guadalajara, 05/19/2015

   • Rush corner dropkick Ephesto (2:07)

Winner: Ingobernables
Match Time: 7:54
Rating: ok

Review: [ok] Short match. Even on a three match show, the numerous reading contest and Sabado Retros promos are cutting heavily into the match time. This wasn’t a problem for this match, which would’ve been the same with four more minutes. Rush was barely in it and Máscara was doing his usual bit. Marco seems to be trying out different things as a sort of rudo and Euforia was weirdly a técnico for a while, but otherwise this was just a match. Usual CMLL direction to stick with Ephesto killing time on a choke with Rush while the other four appeared to be brawling in the crowd.
