Recapped: 04/04/2020
Matches:
Dragón Fly, Hip Hop Man, Mosca beat Alas de Oro, Alas De Plata, Manchas
(15:13, ok, +LuchaTV)
This TV opener was technically fine as a generic Mexican wrestling trios – tecnicos controlled early, rudos took over, tecnicos make a comeback, rudos use a foul to win – but seemed just that generic. The Alas duo is missing a personalty or actions to make them seem like more than the latest take on the Místico mold. Rudos trying to actually win the match during the beatdown was a nice deviation from usual.
Lunatik Extreme went to a draw Puma de Oro

Puma de Oro fits the mold of a young tecnico, fun in trios, and showing some gaps in a singles match. This was good to go long for the experience for both guys but they didn’t have ten minutes of ideas and nearly went fifteen. They also couldn’t totally pull off the ideas they did have. It wasn’t a disaster, though there were moments like Puma de Oro trying a pin while completely under the ropes where he came off as very green. There were also a few cool spots, but it wasn’t worth the entire time. Doing a draw finish on a show about people getting drunk is a bold choice
I wrote about the Death Metal vs Black Dragón hair vs hair match previously.
Big Chicoche, Big Mike, Big Ovett beat Demonio Infernal, Shun Skywalker, X-Fly
(10:26, ok, +LuchaTV)
Just an extended Strippers Big showcase. It fits the mood of the night but it doesn’t try to do anything remarkable. It’s good to see if you’ve never seen them but not particularly memorable.
