What happened:
Barbaro Cavernario submitted Felino to la caverneria but was quickly disqualified for refusing to let go of the hold. Cavernario slapped Edgar for calling the DQ and continued to attack Felino until Negro Casas ran out to make the save. Zacarias spent the match conflicted on who to help and walked off at the end.
Tsukushi pinned Dalys with a casita in her debut.
Thoughts:
The main event was not bad but just the usual send them home happy Tuesday match. Some things didn’t go well but the lack of creativity was the biggest problem. It’s a match that I won’t remember specifically but will remember generally as one of many similar matches.
Cavernario/Felino was a strange match. Both men worked as rudos for most of the match, leaving the crowd with no real rooting interest. The middle of the match seemed more preoccupied with what Zacarias would do, and he never ended up doing anything. The wrestling was solid if unspectacular, but the finish – Cavernario getting disqualified for holding on slightly longer than usual – was weak for the story they were telling.
Casas reversing to the headscissors on Azul was cool. I have nothing I can think to say about the fourth match except I felt really tired during it and little caused me to wake up.
Usual spots in the tercera, and back to the back matches with long falls. This one was because they were going two falls and wanted to go the usual time, but it felt like a second straight slow-paced match. It didn’t totally keep my interest.
Tsuskushi looked tiny next to the CMLL women and her size become the story of the match. She mostly worked with Isis, which was fine if not something immediately impressive. Tsukushi making no contact with her dropkick wasn’t a good look, though Dalys may have been partly responsible. The first fall felt long and slow, the second two rushed thru to get it back on track.
Ultimo Dragoncito’s suplex looked nice and he and Shockercito tried to mix some flashy offense to end an unnoteworthy opener. Pierrothito wasn’t much into the match and it was for the best it was quick. The timing on the wheelbarrow cutter in the first fall was bad, but entertainingly so.
