IWRG: 2020-03-12

Recapped: 2020-04-14

Matches:

Ave Rex, Hip Hop Man, Mosca beat Baby Extreme, El Mimo, Príncipe Aéreo
(17:54, ok, +LuchaTV)

A trios match moving at a leisurely pace that doesn’t seem to be using everyone. There’s no sense of what Ave Rex can do despite this going 18 minutes. Baby Extreme is really good now but he’s barely in this one. He does get to be the guy who does a dive onto one of the foot tables, a big achievement for Thursday Night wrestling. The action was fine but the rudos could’ve played into Mimo’s mime bit stronger.

Lunatik Xtreme beat Puma de Oro
(4:30, ok, mluchatv)

What Happened: Lunatik Xtreme gets away with a mask pull on the finish (though the finishing move might have beat Puma de Oro anyway.)

Review: This one also didn’t get much going, though it was more due to the lack of time. Puma and Lunatik can show good moves but haven’t been able to pull it together as a full match yet. The post-match challenged were for an apuesta match and maybe it would’ve come together in that match. There wasn’t set up to be a big match with the time given.

Ayako Hamada, Lolita, Perla Lagunera beat Diosa Quetzal, Hahastary, Lady Cat
(12:52, ok, mluchat)

This match started very rough, with people lost and confused leading into a dive, but it recovered a bit during the middle. Hahastary got to do her highspots with Ayako Hamada and looked a lot better. Lolita was really good again. Lady Cat is willing to take hard shots from the rudas. The Diosa Quetzal whiffed stunner was very amusing and the rest of her offense was very hit or miss.

Demonio Infernal, Fresero Jr., Shun Skywalker beat Jesse Ventura, Pasion Cristal, Soy Raymunda
(20:37, ok, mluchatv)

A reason I tend to stay away from IWRG are matches which go an extremely long time for no particular reason. This is a twenty-minute light comedy match featuring the exoticos. It was fine. It went on forever. Fresero did good comedy work I wasn’t expecting. Shun Skywalker seems almost as miscast as a rudo as Kawato San. Skywalker is doing better at it, but he has obvious high upside the other way.
